An artifact deck

[Destore117]

So I've wanted to make a decent artifact deck for awhile now and have been wondering
Should I try and keep it colorless? Or splash colors in? If colorless what lands should I get aside from Darksteel Citadel (can i have more than just 4 DCs in a deck? and same goes for colored artifact decks
What colors would you recommend?
I am thinking {U}{R} and maybe {B}
What are some staples you've seen in these kind of decks
And what should I really watch out for?
Any and all recommendations/and criticism's are appreciated.

Splash green for {beck} and make it an affinity deck that plays the whole deck on turn two, lol

Do you mean {Peek}? Or like
{Beck//Call}

Ah I see. So {Beck//Call} + Mycosynth golem. = draw my whole deck turn 3-5?

If you want it to stay colorless the tron lands are always good. {Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas} can be pretty powerful in an artifact deck if you splash {B}{U}.

Right now it's made out of spare cards and it's a {U}{R}{W}{B} (I don't have any forest cards otherwise it would be all 5 colors) but when I get the money and time I am probably going to make it {U}{G}{B} but I really want it to be as colorless as possible. Problem is that all the artifact lands are banned :/ and they are one of the staples to this deck. Adding to affinity as well as adding to my number of artifacts and giving me mana ;-; R.I.P. {Vault of Whispers} {Great Furnace}

Is it designed for a particular format or for casual play? Cause you can use whatever you want for casual if you're play group is cool with it.

[Destore117]

When I get the money for it I'm going to make it Modern legal. But right now it's just a casual pastime

Nice, well here's a forum post with a primer for affinity decks if you're interested. Keep in mind it might be a bit out of date.

That's perfectly fine if its "slightly dated"
Thank you both for all of your help.
However this seems a bit pricey :/

Modern can be pretty expensive to get into (I'm in the process of doing it myself) but stuff doesn't rotate, so it ends up saving money if you play for long enough. Affinity is a bit cheaper than other types though cause you don't need fetchlands.

Hmmm... Artifact deck.  You need 4 {disciple of the vault}s and a really good sac outlet...

So...make an Eggs deck?

This deck idea is easily 250$ just saying •-•
Buying one of each of the cards they have listed is 110$ on its own. So...440$ if you wanted 4 of each card.
