Hey guys what are some great artifact creatures? I need some like Metal Worker, Platinum Emperion and Blightsteel Colossus. Suggestions would be great!

LinkCelestrial

{Wurmcoil Engine}: {6} for a 6/6 is kinda solid. For a 6/6 lifelink deathtouch that splits in half? Fantastic.

{Scuttling Doom Engine}: Is fantastic. {Shrapnel Blast}

{Darksteel Colossus}: Just read it.

{Colossus of Akros}: While one of the lamer Colossus, it's still pretty solid.

{Darksteel Sentinel}: It's quite a bit of value packed into one card.

{Darksteel Juggernaut}: I think that's what it's called? I'm not personally a huge fan but it's still pretty good.

{Ornithopter}: Cause free!

{Memnite}: Cause also free!

{Platinum Angel}: Kinda like {Platinum Emperion}.

{Juggernaut}: Generally only relevant early game 1v1, but still.

{Myr Battlesphere}: Such value. Much win. Very artifact.

{Steel Hellkite}: Flies, board wipes kinda...solid card.

This is all I've got off the top of my head. What commander are you thinking of running? Depending on which one, I've got some other card ideas that can help.

InfinitiveDivinity

{Myr Retriever} is a favorite of mine, {Junk Diver} is also pretty good. Also see {Solemn Similacrum} and {Kuldotha Forgemaster}. A few lands I would definitely recommend are {Phyrexia's Core} and {Buried Ruin}, they can be extremely helpful. I'm also a big fan of {Trading Post}, because it gets you your stuff back and it's other modes can be very beneficial in many different circumstances.

{mycosynth golem}is absurd if the average CMC of your deck is pretty low, it basically reads: your artifact creatures cost 0 mana a lot of the time.

Will, again, with the brackets.

Also, {Shimmer Myr}. To make things, well, you know, shimmer. (But no really this card is good.)

is this for a colorless deck if not  {Darksteel Forge}  {Mycosynth Lattice} with  {Mycosynth Golem} lets you drop all your stuff for almost free and its indestructible but if its colorless you dont really need the lattice

Take a look at Sparkle Ninja's Animar deck. It is full of good Artifact creatures to use.

Great example of how writing a deck tech can cut down on the need for such topics!

really bad in EDH. He's solid in affinity because he's an unblockable beater that wears cranial plating like a champ

Only bad 1v1. In multiplayer a three mana block all is pretty sick. I mean {Darksteel Myr} has saved my butt so many times.
