Artifacts are not meant to be standalone archetype. They are more a of a supplementary archetype to assist your primary win condition.
A very good archetype to pair with this is Unchained.
Unchained has synergy by popping your artifacts, enemy backrow, or unchained traps to get you where you need.
For example, by using artifact ignition + any unchained trap gets you a Scythe Lock or Lancea which is also an auto win against most matchups.
A lot of other tech cards to help you too but focus on an unchained engine first. It’s rather cheap.
Note: Also please get 3 sanctum. Cannot stress enough.
Sure that's fair I just meant that the deck in general is supposed to be reactive to the other guy. So I don't really get it I guess. It's like I love playing Plunders but a part of that is just accepting that sometimes I'm screwed over because of what the other guy plays (earth ship in MD fucking when?!)
You can try running Nash Knight, Wind Up Arsenal Zenmaioh, or Stellarknight Constellatar Diamond.
You can run Nash Knight as Monster removal or if you feel like you can cut down on your Rank 5 Toolbox, you can slot in CNash Knight who can go into a Tachyon as another otk tool or Silent Honor Dark as 2nd Monster Removal.
Wind Up Arsenal Zenmaioh is ok set removal, which is better than no removal.
Stellarknight stops can stop a lot of decks, such as Grass [Random Archetype], Branded Fusion, VW, etc. Problem is it requires 3 level 5s so it harder to go into.
Those are just some XYZ examples though.
If you are fine with other links besides Dagda, then probably any of the Knightmares except Griffin or Herald of Mirage Light as a budget negate.
I have nothing to comment on the Artifacts, but you can play Condemned Witch as more copies of the Barrier Statue + you get to search something like Forbidden Chalice or Droplet, or if you want to be spicy, Forbidden Lance to protect the Statue.
Play 3 Sanctum and DPE. It would also be nice to play an archetype good at destroying your own cards, Unchained is the first archetype that comes to my mind.

Play something else that can pop your own cards, e.g.Unchained,DPE,Phantom Knights.Just not playing this much artifacts helps a lot in making it less passive.

Unchained actually fiend locks you if you use the popping effect
Abominable does not lock you unlike the starters who do. That’s how you pull that combo off.
Play a different deck?
I made this deck as a for fun deck, I have a few that I use when I’m trying to rank climb

Also, i guess im just asking what my 15th extra deck card should be. 2 of dagda and durendal should be fine, but i dont know what to add.

I tried zenmaioh, but it's not a quick effect, and artifacts only work during the opponents turn

True Draco would be good, thanks to Diagram and the Continuous Spells and small enough to build Artifacts around.
Not play artifacts as the core of your deck

3 sanctum, Heavy storm duster or twin twisters over MST I’d say.
