I have a few ideas on what you can drop, as well as why:

Mycosynth Golem (The only thing this is beneficial for are the Collosus bros, and they seem easy enough to get out with your current lineup)

Arcbound Crusher (A 4 mana 1/1? Ew. Even with his potential, he requires quite a lot more cards to hit the table to be good)

Broodstar (For him to be cost effective, you have to have a lot of crap out. Also, would you rather draw into him? Or a Blightsteel Collosus? With him not being an artifact, he's pretty late game. He seems cool, but big papa Blight is actually easier to get out! He's just a fatty, for this spot, Consecrated Sphinx would like a word)

Voltaic Construct (What would this be useful for exactly? Unless you really need blockers. I can't seem to find an infinite mana combo)

Vedalken Engineer (A mana rock in this slot would work a lot better, he's just too fragile)

Counterspell (You have 2 listed)

Steel Sabotage (It's cute, but if you need to cut stuff, this is dropped quick)

Ponder, Serum Visions, Thoughtcast and Preordain (Unless you plan on playing 1v1 with this deck, these cards are just too small to run. You need some big nasty card draw effects along the lines of Mind's Eye, Rhystic Study and Consecrated Sphinx. 2 of which are currently included)

Shape Anew (Unless you have a way to stack the crap out of your deck via Sensei's Divining Top or Vampiric Tutor cards to the top, this is a major shot in the dark)

Gauntlet of Power (can be good for a fat mana rock, but most of your dudes are mud without Grand Architect)

Desertion (Can be a game changer, but if you need a slot, this card can go)

Beacon of Tomorrows (Doesn't really fit with the theme of the deck. If you want to take more turns, but only want a one of in the slot, Lighthouse Chronologist could be your guy for the job! Especially with tutors for Darksteel Plate)

Neurok Stealthsuit (I can see where you're going with this, but Swiftfoot Boots might be a better choice here. The haste is extremely intimidating, especially when a Collosus is wearing them)

Concentrate (Pretty much in the same boat with the smaller card draw effects. Cards like Mind Spring and Brain Geyser could be better here)

Thank you for such detailed recommendations. Updated my list :))

No problem man! I run a relatively similar list, I have Arcum Daggson at the helm though 😉
I had a very hard time making cuts as well. If you don't have a budget for this baby I can bump my list if you'd like to see it for ideas. It's got some spensive stuff.

I am in a rare postition. I'm short 2 cards.. Anyone have suggestions to fill the gap? If not I'll add 2 islands.

Ensoul Artifact is cool, isn't it? I'd also include Steel Hellkite because his 1-sided removal can be a wincon, you can find him with Treasure Mage and juice it with Grand Architect.

M15 isn't out yet, so I don't know what ensoul artifact does. I'll definitely add the dragon!

If I turn a land into an artifact(via liquimetal coating), does the enchantment fall off at the end of my turn when it's no longer an artifact?
