Deck Description

I purchased the deck with Dareti as commander along with the other 4 2014 commander decks. The original decklist can be found under "Built from Scratch "
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/arcana/commander-2014-edition-decklists-2014-10-31

Basically I wanted to add some more token-artifact producers to have something to sacrifice for Daretti's -1 ability.

Removed Cards:
Beetleback Chief ...does produce some tokens but they can't be sacrificed into Daretti.
Bottle Gnomes ...Gaining 3 Life and a small chump-blocker isn't worth the mana in commander in my opinion. Also they can't be sacrificed into Daretti AND gain 3 life.
Bogardan Hellkite ...I could have kept this one but I wanted room for some more artifact spells.
Flametoung Kavu ...I could have kept this one but I wanted room for some more artifact spells.
Ingot Chewer ...There are better artifact-removal spells.
Spitebellows ...I could have kept this one but I wanted room for some more artifact spells.
Warmonger Hellkite ...Forcing players to attack in a multiplayer game can end your life very quickly as it favours quick, aggressive, decks, which Daretti isn't.
Bitter Feud ...Dealing double Damage sounds great but it works only against one player and worse it works in both ways.
Commander's Sphere ...I didn't need the colour fixing and there are easier way's to draw cards.
Fire Diamond ...why pay 2 for something that a simple Mountain can do?
Pristine Talisman ......I could have kept this one tough the lifegain seemed to slow and there are better mana-accelerators.
Ruby Medallion ...There are simply to few red spells left in the deck.

Added cards:
Hangarback Walker ...Good chump blocker and insurance after a mass-removal.
Steel Hellkite ...mana-cost related mass removal with evasion.
Thopter Assembly ...Not entirely sure about this one as you have to keep/ protect it for one turn. But if you manage this you 5 1/1 flying artifact tokens that can act as blockers or be sacrificed into Daretti and are able to cast it again.
Blinkmoth Urn ...Big mana-acceleration for artifact decks. Other deck will profit to but in the same way you will.
Eye of Doom ...Destroying a certain permanent can be a huge advantage. Basically a once Spine of Ish Sah.
Genesis Chamber ...Creates tokens to be sacrificed into Daretti. I'm not entirely sure on this one as other decks might benefit more from it than you will.
Mask of Memory ...Additional carddraw, needs a player to be damaged.
Mimic Vat ...Enables you to 'clone' a dead creature and use it again.
Mirrorworks ...Enables you to copy any nontoken artifact you play for only {2}.
Vandalblast ...One-sided artifact mass-removal.
Myr Turbine ...Cheap token producer for chump-blocking or to feed Daretti.
Nim Deathmantle ...Enables you to return a dying creature for {4}.
Serum Tank ...Expensive but steady carddraw.
Mycosynth Golem ...All artifact spells you play gain affinity for artifacts as long this one is on the field.
Rage Reflection ...Double Strike for all your creatures.
Etched Champion ...Protection from all colours can be a nice thing though I'm not entirely sure about this one as I don't have (m)any means of strengthening it for attack/ defence.

I own many of those cards, use the rest as proxis, and I have tested it against some (few) other decks. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to further improve this deck.

How to Play

After you get Dareti on the Battlefield you can start discarding expensive artifacts from your hand and draw other cards for them. When your commander has enough loyalty, or if you feel that you need something on the battlefield now, exchange his loyalty against an artifact from your graveyard.

Just remember that you don't have to draw/ discard 2 cards to get the +2 points on Dareti
