Thanks guys.
Rhadamanthus , i really get lost when using the Gatherer, what kind of keywords did you use to come up with those cards?

For the first paragraph, I searched on "artifact" for type and "dies" + "damage" for rules text.
For the second paragraph, I searched on "artifact" for type and "sacrifice" + "damage" for rules text.
For the third paragraph, I searched on "artifact" + "sacrifice" + "damage" for rules text
It just takes some practice to get comfortable using Gatherer and figuring out some of the quirks in the way it works. I know many people prefer using MagicCards.info, but sometimes I have trouble building anything beyond the simplest kind of query for it. Of course, if I practiced more with MagicCards.info I'd probably be a lot better at it.

Perilous Myr is the only one who does exactly that, but artifact creatures who almost do that include Cathedral Membrane and Volatile Rig .
Artifacts that let you sacrifice something to deal damage include Aeolipile , Blasting Station , Blazing Torch , Bosh, Iron Golem , Doom Cannon , Goblin Cannon , Goblin Lyre , Heliophial , Magma Mine , Moonglove Extract , Mortarpod , Pyrite Spellbomb , Shrine of Burning Rage , Skull Catapult , Sword of the Ages , Ticking Gnomes , Time Bomb , Triskelavus , and Vulshok Replica (I only included the things that can deal damage to players).
Things that let you sacrifice artifacts to deal damage (and weren't mentioned earlier) include Artillerize , Barrage Ogre , Kuldotha Flamefiend , Orcish Mechanics , and Shrapnel Blast .
I was able to get these by using the Advanced Search in Gatherer to search on certain keywords in the type and rules text of cards. It's a really useful tool for coming up with ideas and seeing what's out there.
