There might not be room but I was considering it as a 2-of. Thoughts?
I messed around with a mono-red build with Welder and Magus of the Moon a while ago. It was okayish. Moon in particular was able to catch a lot of people off guard, and Cranial Plating + dudes is still able to win games quickly, with Welder giving you a better long game. However, especially today, I don't really think Welder has too much of a place. Affinity is pretty near dead as is, and the only thing it really has going for it is speed and explosiveness. Welder gives you a bit of resilience, but often at the cost of speed.
