And In That Moment I Swear We Were Affinite

Looks pretty standard/awesome, I recommend +1  {Steelshaper's Gift} and dropping 1 {Thoughtcast}. I've found T cast to be underwhelming most of the time. Plating is the best card in the deck.

I'd drop {galvanic blast} before I'd drop {thoughtcast}. Even though plating is great, you will usually just need more fuel to close out games, rather than just having a fifth copy of your best card.

Idk maybe I didn't do enough testing with thoughtcast but it was never that great for me. Either I was ahead/winning and the additional cards werent needed or I was behind and had to tap out to draw two cards because of a low artifact count.

Steelshaper's is best used when there is a sword or another equipment in sideboard. Pointless otherwise.

Why is {Cranial Plating} so busted? Did wizards just say hey let's give artifact decks the most over powered card in the world?

Well, equipment was first introduced in the Mirrodin block, I don't think Maro realized how powerful it would be or how strong Affinity was.

Cranial was a development idea, not design.
