I found this list when I was looking for an old steelshaper-affinity deck I played some time ago in t2, ill explain some of the card choices

3 Ancient Tomb(don't know if its the right land to play, you could change this with artifact lands)
1 Barbarian ring+1 Cephalid Coliseum, Use cephalid coliseum to put the deck into grave, recur barbarian ring with the cruci fastbond combo.
1 Strip Mine, with crucible
4 Mishras Factory, lackeys and other early critters in the unpowerd meta

The affinity part is to power up an fast draw engine that can even be used to kill the opponent quickly.

the combo engine of crucible, fastbond and zuran orb gets powered out fast and make excellent bombs on their own most of the time
Auriok steelshaper: one of the most important factors in the draw engine, free clamping is pretty good
Necropotence: fast way to draw lots of cards, makes dark ritual even better in this deck
Tendrills: combo time, sometimes you don't even need the draw engine to go off with tendrills
Yawgmoth's Bargain: life into draw is pretty good

I'm thinking of adding cloud of faeries if you draw it during the engine its like,0 mana draw 2 cards and interact with tolarian academy

I'm sorry for the crappy spelling and grammar used in the text above

Its a very strange deck, I would have to play goldfish it because I can barely imagine how a typical game would play out.  All in all if you basically have 3 decks overlapping.  you have affinity, you have tendrils, and you have zuran combo.  If you put too many different combo ideas together, i think you'll find that you have consistancy issues. 
If I was going to combine Afinity with a combo deck (and do it without moxen) I would drop the tendrils aspect and add 4 metal workers, and 2-4 staff of dominations.  drop in some lightning greaves. maybe a cranial plateing or something to support a stronger affinity deck.  Then you have your backup affinity win (via cranial plateing, ravager, and deciple) and your ... I gain infinite life, infite colorless mana, draw my deck, and play every artifact in it ... then equip greaves on my ravager, sac the junk and swing for 20.

I also metalworker combo in t1 powerd online sometimes but now this is something completely different, the tendrills isnt really necesary but you really ahve to goldfish some games ind, i do agree that combining several decks sometimes gives consistency issues

does anyone has some tips for the main and side? 
 
after some testing I am sure I want to add more creatures, but I have no idea what I should cut, im thinking of adding 2 cloud of faeries instead of the crucible and zuran orb

Merged triple (!) post. See below.

I think the 'thopters become dead weight when you don't have a ravager out.  If you add plating then they could be very nice, but seeing as how they aren't single-clampable they become pretty much dead draws if I'm looking at the list correctly.
