My new/old deck

Hey, new to the forum. I haven't really played or bought cards for years cuz nobody plays around here. I found people that do finally. So heres my deck, Ive had it for a long time and it keeps evolving. I think its about as good as its going to get with the limited cards I have but if you see any kinks let me know.

LANDS
4 Plains
4 Ancient Den
4 Vault of Whispers
4 Darksteel Citadel
1 Tolarian Academy
WHITE CREATURES
4 Auriok Salvagers
4 Leonin Elders
2 Leonin Abunas
ARTIFACT CREATURES
4 Myr Servitor
2 Arcbound Worker
ARTIFACT EQUIPMENT
4 Skullclamp
2 Surestrike Trident
2 Cranial Plating
ARTIFACT
1 Reito Lantern

The dealio: So my deck is mostly artifacts, even my lands. I can gain life every time 1 comes into play (Leonin Elders), I usually end up with tonnes of life because of recycling but I always keep 1 Elders in my hand just in case. I have some protection for my artifacts with Leonin Abunas. I can bring back 1 casting cost artifacts (Myr Servitor, Skullclamp & Arcbound Worker) with Auriok Salvagers. The main engine of the deck is the Myr Servitor & Skullclamp combo that lets me draw up to 6 additional cards a round for 3 mana. The Arcbound Worker is in there for a little more security so I can build a big creature (usually a big Myr Servitor so I always have 1) so I can deal with big creatures and also to draw more cards. The Reito Lantern is there so I cannot deck myself but the game usually never lasts that long unless I had a horrible shuffle. I use the Cranial Plating (which gives +1/+0 per artifact I control) to help with chump blocking big creature if need be. With the Cranial Plating & Surestrike Trident combo I can instantly take out up to 50+ life directly without attacking. I can also use the Surestrike Trident alone to pick off creatures. And of course I can always pound away with myr's & Arcbound Worker's all day long as they grow, Leonin Abunas & Auriok Salvagers are a decent size for attacking as well and blocking. Also, since I draw so many bloody cards its easy to get the Tolarian Academy which makes it rediculous.

My only real concern I think are burn decks since they can take out the Leonin Abunas and get at everything else, I could be wrong though, I dont know what new cards there is out there now (I haven't bought cards since invasion set).

BACKUP CARDS:
Disciple of the Vault (I only have 2 Sad

Thoughtpicker Witch (I only have 1 Sad

, itd be wicked against burn & counter decks
Arcbound Stinger (flying support, not a super important card tho)
Arcbound Crusher (biiig trampling mofo in a few turns)
Chimeric Coils (Good with Tolarian Academy+Surestrike Trident=surprise! re-usable too)
Ashes of the Fallen (allows me to bring back Leonin Elders, Disciple of the Vault, Thoughtpicker Witch and if I have roar of reclimation then I can bring everything back except for the 4 plains lol)
Enlightened Tutor (if I make the deck 60 cards its very useful)
Roar of Reclimation (Incase it all goes wrong I can wait it out and bring it all back and if my Tolarian Academy is untapped, kill them in 1 turn possibly)[/b]

This deck is not viable in extended, much less vintage
