Unlike most MUD decks, this goes all in on artifact lands. This is mainly for their synergy with Unwinding Clock, which lets us remain unaffected by our own Winter Orb in lieu of something like Icy Manipulator, as well as Metalworker who can benefit from more artifacts in hand. Unwinding Clock can also synergize with Grim Monolith, Lux Cannon, and Phyrexian Colossus as well as providing pseudo-vigilance for our future beaters. The goal of this deck is to lock down the opponent with cards like Winter Orb, Lodestone Golem, and Sphere of Resistance/Trinisphere until we can get to our beefy beater creatures with either large amounts of mana from Metalworker or cheat them into play with Kuldotha Forgemaster or Mycosynth Golem. Lux Cannon and Spine of Ish Sah serve as repeatable removal to help keep your opponent at bay and can synergize with other cards. Spine of Ish Sah classicly combos well with Kuldotha as it can be sac'd for the tutor effect but return straight to your hand. Lux Cannon can also be tapped for counters on opponents' turns using Unwinding Clock, which can be taken to extremes with a Voltaic Key or two.

Since you're playing Seat of the Synod, have you considered including 1 Academy Ruins? Likely over a Darksteel Citadel.I would also consider playing Myr Battlesphere over Phyrexian Colossus. That or Sundering Titan, since your lands don't have a basic land type.

Yeah, I should swap out Buried Ruin for Academy Ruins for sure. As for why I use Phyrexian Colossus, read the description I just added for the deck. His low CMC usually means I can cheat him out for free on the same turn I drop Mycosynth and Unwinding Clock negates his untap cost. If I've locked my opponent down correctly and am picking off creatures with Lux Cannon, Phyrexian should be unblockable and do some pretty nice damage along with having pseudo-vigilance from the Clock just like the rest of my beaters. He's just quicker to cheat out if I don't have Forgemaster at the moment and unblockable instead of trample.I do like the Sundering Titan idea though. I may tinker with that idea a bit, but the issue there might be the low amount of basic lands played in Legacy.
Battlesphere is the same cost as Phyrexian Colossus, and can boost itself to his power while doing chip damage on the attack. Sundering Titan may cost one more mana, but wipes out all those Legacy-legal dual lands both on the way in and the way out. Just my thoughts on that.Also, you might want to think about switching out the Trinispheres for Sphere of Resistance. Trinisphere's cost increase happens after all other ones, so it interacts poorly with Lodestone Golem. I sadly learned this the hard way.
Yeah, I've considered Sphere of Resistance instead, but I'm unsure which will prove better. In Vintage, Trinisphere was much more powerful, hence its restriction, though I'm not sure how well that translates into Legacy. I may put Sphere of Resistance in here and sideboard the Trinispheres in case I'm up against a deck I know is filled with 0 and 1 CMC cards. As for Battlesphere, I'm aware, I run a Myr deck where I heavily abused Battlesphere, but I'm not sure I want to run it here. Battlesphere truly shines when in a deck with the ability to create large numbers of tokens. The only benefit to Battlesphere would be the ability to sac the Myr tokens it brings with it to forgemaster if something happens to the Battlesphere, so this may be another sideboard option depending on what I'm up against.
What an Interesting deck.
