Deck discussion for G/B Artifacts (ignore the red)

Ok..... I first suggest looking at some of the new Kaladesh stuff. Especially that with Fabricate.
Next, cut down on the variety. The only deck you want with singles of every card is Commander. Most modern decks run 2-4 copies of their cards.

Here are 2 abilities to focus your deck on for G/B Artifacts: Fabricate and Populate
Please note that Populate is only good in here if you get a lot of Fabricate or lots of tokens.

Also get 4 copies of Disciple of the Vault

Anything from UNLIMITED to Darksteel? You may be sitting on some of the most expensive cards ever! On the other hand, the great mayority of those cards are NOT Modern legal!

Yeah, sorry to say that, but right now it's just a pile of seemingly random cards (and lots of them are really bad ones). I really can't suggest anything because I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to do here. The only theme I can see is that your creatures are all artifact creatures but there is almost no card in this that takes advantage of that fact. Many of your cards are from the old Mirrodin block but somehow you managed to make an artifact deck without any affinity or modular cards ...

Even assuming you don't have the expensive cards, there are so many suggestions I could make that you virtually have to replace every single card ... here are some examples to give you ideas and to point out the biggest blunders:

* Goblin War Wagon?! A 3/3 for 4 mana with a drawback!? Try Arcbound Crusher for this deck.

* Flesh/Blood !? You can't even cast the second half because you don't have red mana! It's not worth adding split cards for just one half. Compare to cards like Increasing Savagery or Deadbridge Goliath. Same is true for that Goblin Replica, you don't have red mana to activate it, so it's just a vanilla 2/2 for 3 mana ...

* Worldslayer?! The only card supporting this idea is that Darksteel Gargoyle but at one copy each you will pull that off maybe once in 50 games. See, it's things like this - if you said that this was your goal we could focus on this idea. We would add more Worldslayers and more cards that survive it and would have a focus for this deck.

* You picked some of the worst equipments of that block. I guess you don't own Swords but don't you have some of the better equipments from the same sets like Loxodon Warhammer, Lightning Greaves and Whispersilk Cloak?

* Lots and lots of sub-par cards without synergy.
- Auriok Siege Sled: You don't have ways to turn opponent's creatures into artifact creatures
- Viridian Longbow: You don't have deathtouch creatures or anything else that would give you extra value
- Deathmask Duplicant: Your deck currently has 3 creatures with flying and ZERO with the other abilities! The duplicant will never be any better than a 5/5 flyer in this deck (for 7+1 mana!)
- Power Conduit but no artifacts that use charge counters ... and almost no card to remove counters from in the first place
...
Simply put, you are paying way too much mana for things you don't make much use of.

* The deck also has structural problems. It has 7 equipments but only 12 creatures total to slap them on. It also has no way to recover from a disaster - and a disaster ist about to strike eventually since you have so many artifacts. One mass removal spell that hits artifacts and you have nothing left!

In conclusion:
Start over from scratch and decide what you actually want to do. Find a core combo, mechanic or theme and work from there. And if that happens to be "lots of artifact creatures" then make sure to add cards that support this idea.

Most importantly, add a deck description and tell us about it! I only replied to this because you asked in VaultHelp. Normally I would skip any deck that doesn't tell me what it is supposed to be about, especially in cases like this where it isn't obvious.

That's why I said make a Token deck. Use Populate, Fabricate and other token making abilities to create a tide of beings, then add a Darksteel Citadel or 2 to make them all indestructable

But the title says "artifact deck" ... and why would adding Darksteel Citadel make those tokens indestructible? Also, looking at the current cards and his comment about having inherited lots of cards from Unlimited to Darksteel hints at him not having any Kaladesh cards and mostly older cards to work with. With the exception of very few cards this is just Mirrodin, Darksteel and some former Basic Set cards.

I was saying GET Kaladesh cards and make an ARTIFACT TOKEN deck, making the ARTIFACT tokens indestructable. It all makes sense in my head, I swear.......

That would require either Darksteel Forge or Eldrazi Monument, not Darksteel CItadel which would either be redundant (with Forge) or useless (with Monument). It may have made sense in your head but it confused the hell out of my head :)

Anyway, if (artifact) tokens was the way to go, I'd rather add 4 Disciple of the Vault. Reason? Both Forge and Monument are expensive and clunky and it's easier to make use of fragile things dying than to make those fragile things indestructible. I mean, if you produce lots ofsartifact tokens you are going to add sacrifice opiotns anyway, right?

no I do have cards from Kaladesh, I went to the prerelease, and I have bought my own cards starting in Gatecrash and Theros.
I said that I will have to go rummaging because I don't have an organization system for my roughly 3,750 cards. its like finding a needle in a haystack.
