I've actually had this thing built for a good long while, and every time I go to the shops, I pick up another artifact or two. So far, this is the build:

Commander (1)

1x Arcbound Reclaimer
1x Beast of Burden
1x Cathodion
1x Colossus of Akros
1x Darksteel Colossus
1x Darksteel Juggernaut
1x Darksteel Sentinel
1x Duplicant
1x Epochrasite
1x Gemini Engine
1x Golem Artisan
1x Iron Myr
1x Junk Diver
1x Karn, Silver Golem
1x Lodestone Golem
1x Manakin
1x Myr Battlesphere
1x Myr Propagator
1x Myr Retriever
1x Myr Welder
1x Palladium Myr
1x Plague Myr
1x Precursor Golem
1x Thopter Assembly

Artifact (34)
1x Blinkmoth Urn
1x Contagion Clasp
1x Contagion Engine
1x Darksteel Forge
1x Darksteel Plate
1x Dreamstone Hedron
1x Energy Chamber
1x Everflowing Chalice
1x Fire Diamond
1x Font of Mythos
1x Howling Mine
1x Icy Manipulator
1x Illusionist's Bracers
1x Mimic Vat
1x Mind Stone
1x Mirrorworks
1x Pyxis of Pandemonium
1x Quietus Spike
1x Ring of Three Wishes
1x Semblance Anvil
1x Sisay's Ring
1x Skullclamp
1x Sol Ring
1x Spine of Ish Sah
1x Staff of Nin
1x Swiftfoot Boots
1x Thousand-Year Elixir
1x Titan Forge
1x Tower of Calamities
1x Unwinding Clock
1x Ur-Golem's Eye
1x Voltaic Key
1x Warden of the Wall
1x Xanthic Statue

I'm thinking of cutting some of the bigger things - Xanthic Statue being the big example - or weird decisions - Warden of the Wall, I'm looking at you - to make way for more Myr fuel for the Battlesphere. I'm also thinking of adding Grafted Exoskeleton and Hellkite Tyrant for alt-wins.

I bought only the finest slightly/heavily-played cards $76 in store credit could offer. :p

I was referring more to actually figuring out what to include in the deck in the first place than to acquiring the cards. Building decks is some great arcane puzzle and building highlander decks is even more daunting. Obviously not everyone feels that way, but I do.

Well, to be fair, this is, like, the fifth revision of it. I essentially just picked mana ramp, some nice beef to fling with Bosh, and just some of the best artifacts I remember having - Serrated Arrows, Jayemdae Tome, Sol Ring - and then finding out what worked and what didn't as I played. Plus, I asked around, got some people's input, listened to some - didn't listen to others, as a lot of people want me to flood it with mountains and fetch - and finally got to this point. Now, all I do is grab one or two semi-expensive cards every now and again to flesh it out, like Wurmcoil Engine and Jitte.

I actually ended up getting a Jitte for $12, but it's an alt-art I got from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Umezawas-Jitte-Edh-Art-Foil/dp/B00GK18LDQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1398320670&sr=1-3&keywords=umezawa%27s+jitte (long link is long) - but I'm sure some people may have issues about the fact that it's a proxy.

That proxy is using the art from the foil Grand Prix printing of Jitte. Real Grand Prix Jittes are worth a lot, of course. Personally, I'm all for people being able to use proxies in casual games so long as everyone involved knows and agrees beforehand.

I feel this way too. For Commander, I took an easier path and went with Slivers, basically just slapping together singles from the Premium Sliver deck, supported by powerful five color cards and simple control and mana base support spells. Though I'm not saying that deck is good.

I feel the same way. I mean, it's not like I'm running a random M14 Island with "Uzemaw's Jet" written in Sharpie on it. This looks legit enough to be a real card, but we all know it's not.​
​
​
And Terentius, that's the best way to go. Work on a theme, work backwards from it and add what you know is the best thing for the theme. Playtest it, play it, and you'll see what works and what doesn't. I still have some high-CC beef in there, mainly for Bosh, but Colossus of Sardia was NOT working at all in this deck - way too slow - so I cut it for Colossus of Akros, which is way better.​
​
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I got some new cards for Bosh: Alloy Myr, Moltensteel Dragon, Grafted Exoskeleton, Myr Turbine, Myr Incubator, Hellkite Tyrant, and the proxy Jitte. Just need to cut some things to fit them in. Suggestions?​

I still don't have any suggestions for what to cut, and I feel a little guilty about that. I'm going to be whining for everyone to help me figure my own Commander deck out pretty soon here, but I don't even have anything for you. Apparently no one does. We're all too busy? :(

It's fine. I had already done so. Got rid some of the more-expensive and narrower mana producers and the weaker token generators, like Precursor Golem. So, the last I need is a legit Jitte, Thran Dynamo, Wurmcoil Engine, and possibly Batterskull. Then, it will be complete.

I'm in the process of getting a Dynamo right now. Not sure what to cut for THAT, but I'll get to that when I get there.

What's your Commander deck? I might be able to help.
