4 Darksteel Citadel 4 Great Furnace 3 Vault of Whispers 1 Seat of the Synod 5 Mountain
3 Shield Sphere 4 Vault Skirge 4 Ornithopter 4 Galvanic Blast 4 Shrapnel Blast 2 Scrapyard Salvo
4 Chromatic Star 4 Chromatic Sphere 4 Conjurer's Bauble 4 Elsewhere Flask 4 Gitaxian Probe 2 Ichor Wellspring
This is my proposed classic version. If you were to "upgrade" this to Modern, you could trade out the Shield Sphere for Welding Jar (another 0 cost artifact, that could potentially save an artifact before you combo off), or Tormod's Crypt (a do nothing card, that further's your scrapyards).

Looks like an interesting build, however, Shrapnel Blast is an uncommon.

Looks like an intriguing list, and quite a bit different than the modern original list.
Obviously, the biggest issue is that there's *really* only two cards in the entire deck that an opponent needs to dodge (the salvos). Post variants with blue and delver (and toss in faeries/MUC) makes up a fairly large % of the meta. Also, WW (or any deck with white) can strands it.
Other cards to look into Arsenal Thresher Etherium Sculptor Disciple of the vault Thoughtcast Glaze fiend Executioner's Capsule Courier's Capsule Atog Pyrite Spellbomb Vedalken Certarch and possibly even something like Windwright Mage...and too many artifact commons with blue in them to list.
With all the mana fixing, I think you could go for a more ambitious set of colors. I think the sculptor and glaze fiend in particular are strong additions; one lets you cantrip a creature to a huge size, and the other makes your stars/spheres free.
It looks like it could be fun though : ).

Just tried putting this together to mess around and apparently Ornithopter is not considered pauper online.

Do we have access to Antiquities on MTGO?! I haven't looked back that far.

Nope - at least not as a set. Some cards have been reprinted
