Let's say I have a big board of artifacts and a Scrap Trawler, then my opponent Cataclysms. If I keep Trawler as my one creature, will it let me return stuff I sacrificed, or just artifacts that were in the yard pre-Cataclysm?

The artifacts have to hit the bin before the Trawler can trigger. That means all artifacts (Saced or otherwise) in the grave are legal targets for the triggers.
- Cat fires
- Your things get saced
- Trawler sees the artifacts leaving the battlefield and triggers
Because 2 happens before 3, you get to pick from a full bin.
So then White Artifact Trawler Stax has to become a deck, right?
Yes. Please make this happen.Quote:

If my understanding is correct, Trawler sees all other artifacts dying at the same time.
SO each artifact creature going to the grave will trigger the trawler's ability.
I can then use the trawler's ability for the artifact creature costing 4 to retrieve the trawler, and the one triggering from the trawler's death itself to retrieve the artifact creature costing 2.
Am i right?
For me it works like other triggered ability triggering when a creature dies. If it's on a creature, it sees other creatures dying at the same time as here, and the ability triggers.
You are correct, yes. See specifically 603.10: http://yawgatog.com/resources/magic-rules/#R60310Quote:
