Cheers for the advice. I was gonna keep the bloodsucker to use with the bloodghast combo, but more nighthawks would be useful.

Darksteel Collector http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=214712 Construction of Machines http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=191820 Will be starting a Black/Green deck based on Poison and other infects soon.
Try using Sharding Sphinx or Nuisance Engine if you want to armass sacrificial artifacts.
Try adding Krovikan Mist to get a boost from all the Illusions out on the battlefield. Drake Umbra also helps with protecting your Illusions from being sacrificed by target spells.
Counter Artifact based decks can be a nuisance. There are a few ways to counter this; have a stock of counter cards (i.e. Counterspell, Mana Leak, and Undermine) or have a few artifacts handy that render artifacts almost Indestructible (i.e. Darksteel Plate/Forge). Take a look at my Darksteel Collector deck for some ideas on what best fits. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=214712
*Facepalm* Of course! You'd think I'd remember Metalcraft. Might replace a few spells or excessive Myrs, or just put them on the sideboard. Cheers for the heads up!
Very solid build. Also, no sideboard filled with Cheatyfaces I see o.O
The deck does have a good supply of mana, and if you want even more of a boost for Master of Etherium, you can replace some of your regular lands with the artifact version of them (i.e. Plains with Ancient Den; Swamp with Vault of Whispers), though this does leave them vulnerable to "Destroy target artifact" spells.
A nice basic build for an artifact deck. 4 Master of Etherium's, though good, seems a little excessive. Try adding Energy Chambers to put +1/+1 or charge tokens down. Works well with Overflowing Chalice if you're short on mana.
