Artifact affinity deck that sputters

Deck: Like A Swiss Clock.
I have ramping (to get to Darksteel Colossus faster), card draw (for when I dump my whole hand with the freebies or when I have 9 mana to play with), tutoring, and even chump blockers (for protection in the early game), but I'm only getting like 20-30% wins while playtesting on tappedout. It'll be T10 and I'll have 19 available mana and no win con, or T5 and I've already gotten pulverized. When it works, though, it really works. Like using Tezzeret the Seeker 's -5 and swinging for 30-40 on T7 level of working. It looks like Tezzeret is my winner FAR more often than the colossus.
I thought I had all my bases covered for consistency, versatility, and longevity, but I'm losing to all kinds of different decks at all different points of the game. Any glaring weakness(es) that I'm missing?
Cobthecobbler Because screw the Phyrexians! Hahahah xD
but sadly I must admit in truth that Blightsteel is the better choice to make, you play something that big and you want to kill them in one giant poisonous stomp asap

if your goal is to win by using large artifacts like Blightsteel Colossus or Darksteel Colossus i would remove anthing that just adds charge counters or uses charge counters and replace it with Mox Opal , Mycosynth Lattice , Quicksilver Amulet and Master Transmuter + some sort of stall tactic other than cheap blockers like Frogmite and Memnite . Maybe Etherium Sculptor , Dismember and another kill/counterspell

If your deck is casual, I would second the Mycosynth Golem idea, and run Blightsteel Colossus alongside the artifact lands (Darksteel Citadel and the like). You can get the Golem out before turn 5, and then Blightsteel out the next turn. Probably a turn or two earlier than that.

Why play darksteel when you can play Blightsteel Colossus ?
