What's the point of this archetype? Aside from 1-2 cards it's very slow and I don't get why the opponent should destroy your cards after he understands that you're running an artifact deck.
You can run Double Cyclone and other cards to destroy them by yourself. Or you can mix them with other archetypes, e.g. the H.A.T. (Hand, Artifact, Traptrix) deck was quite popular in the TCG.
We have got more than three artifact cards now, but yes, they are all very slow and our opponent won't be so stupid to keep destroying these cards, once they saw it once.
thats point of destroying them yourself, and as of this moment, you are right, artifacts aren't good even after the release of xyz, however the deck is made to be slow because of its effects (from cards we didn't get) to be able to disrupt your opponent. In conclusion, artifacts are strong but not in DL, you've never played artifacts (in tcg ocg or dl), making me all the more right.
The point of this archetype is that it was too OP in TCG that only trash cards of the archetype were realease d in duel link.
This archetype is rank 5 engineer and disruption all during your opponent turn without using your normal summon. It is strong flashable to any rank 5 deck or fusion(light)/chaos deck.
