what to do with extra mana from artifact deck?

[Ohioguy]

I've put together a completely colorless artifact deck, mostly
because I play someone who enjoys using "protection from color X" type
cards. This should make all of that useless.

However, I have the Urza lands and the locus lands. In the few test
runs I've done, the mana production ramps up very quickly.

The trouble is, I don't have much of anything to do with all of that
mana!

Can anyone recommend a couple of artifacts that would give me
repeatable direct damage, using up all of the extra mana I have each
turn? Thanks so much.

Well, there's always the old standard Icy Manipulator, gets you 4 closer to
none. And Urza's Chalice, which is the opposite of damage but goes VERY well
in an all-artifact deck. But you might look into the various 'storage lands'
that you can charge up using colorless mana, and/or Celestial Prism and its
cousins. Rocket Launcher is one-shot, basically.

Also look into Chimeric Staff, Illusionary Mask (if you have some ready cash),
Aladdin's Lamp, Bargaining Table, Belbe's Armor, Citanul Flute, Clockwork
Avian/Beast/Gnomes/Steed/Swarm, Helm of Obedience, Ice Cauldron, Mishra's
Helix (but not, I think, Candelabra of Tawnos), Panacea, Puffer Extract,
Reflecting Mirror, Runed Arch, Soul Foundry, Talon of Pain, Thought Dissector,
Voodoo Doll, or Whetwheel.
