Ive had days in my LGS where after the draft I knew I wanted to keep ~10 of the cards from the draft and the rest was going to end up in the bulk box anyhow so I just asked if the other players wanted the ones I wasnt taking home
Act I is pretty straightforward (and remember, if anyone asks, you dont target until after the spell has resolved, so dont let anyone force you to commit to anything youre not ready to do)
Red Death, Shipwrecker doesn't fit the theme of the deck except as a mana producer, and can easily be replaced with an artifact creature with the same basic function which also interacts with your artifact theme
If you want power in Magic and dont mind throwing creatures beneath you to obtain it, you should check out these sacrifice commanders
It was just so easily exploitable with Card not found, but more importantly, they dont feel like instants
