Notes:
Quick drop artifacts with ensoul artifact to make it a 5/5 use darksteel citadel for artifact land drops also indestructible use ensoul to make it an indestructible 5/5  also etched champion lots of low cost artifacts to ensoul as well as shrapnel blast. Just trying not to waste my good very competitive standard ensoul deck and make it into a modern deck affinity deck

You do realize that ensoul is gonna drop off {etched champion} as soon as it gets the protection?

I play similar modern deck and I play  {Pyrite Spellbomb} {Nihil Spellbomb} {Æther Spellbomb} Instead of the odd artifacts they add to affinity and give a resource beside the hand

No Inkmoth or Blinkmoth? No {Vault Skirge}? No {Cranial Plating}? 😮

{Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas} is a must have. Seriously insane.

The only creatures in your main deck that I'd keep main deck are {Ornithopter} and {Memnite}. Check out my list for some better alternatives. (Though even I want something better than {Darksteel Myr}). If nothing else, {Vault Skirge} and {Arcbound Ravager}.

I love {Ghostfire Blade} but {Darksteel Axe} also provides a relevant {Ensoul Artifact} target.

Where's the {Cranial Plating}‽ Absolutely necessary.

{Thoughtsieze}, {Etched Champion} and maybe {Phyrexian Revoker} are sideboard material if anything at all.

{Inkmoth Nexus} and {Blinkmoth Nexus} don't jive in this deck. You need coloured mana and they are bad backup plans most of the time. Learned from experience. Amazing in affinity, not so much here.

{Lens of Clarity} is a no go. {Galvanic Blast} is an idea.

If budget is the problem, work on upgrading if you want to play this deck to its full potential. It's not as consistently explosive but it is more resilient. T1 5/5 flying lifelink is the fast track to victory. Or the {Path to Exile}.

Thanks etched champion loosing its ensoul was a complete undersight on my part thank you. I would love to play both nexus lands but at the moment is out of my budget but i will certainly do that place them in when I get the funds to purchase them. It's still a work in progress just trying to salvage what I can from my deck that i used pretty well in standard. Thanks again for your help.
