When you create an artifact token this triggers all triggered abilities with the condition "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield" including this one.
As a result you will create a token that's a copy of that artifact and this again triggers the ability.

Simplest options:
Remove first strike. Remove death touch. Make rare. Make it so that it only has those abilities if you do (insert thing your set cares about here).
Any of those would fix this; but knowing what is best depends on the rationalisation behind the card. From the flavour text - the deathtouch needs to be there. The 'something worse' isn't represented.
So how about these abilities paired together:
Deathtouch. When ~ deals combat damage to a player, they discard a card.
Although that is also a really nasty combination (doomed if you do, doomed if you don't); and likely needs to be higher rarity than common too.
A lower toughness might help, slightly. Makes it easer for direct damage to get rid of it.
Deathtouch + first strike is one of those really strong combinations that you really cannot put at common - unless you hide half of it behind a further cost or condition.
kaykay :D
Nitpicking on the wording:
> Whenever you cast a Snake (creature) spell, ~ gains first strike UEOT.
"Another" isn't really necessary here (Arjun, the Shifting Flame).
Whether the spell being creature is specified might matter for tribal spells or whathaveyou (Nameless Inversion).

This wording needs minor fixing, I would go with either:
> Whenever you are attacked, ~ gains first strike UEOT.
or
> As long as you are being attacked, ~ has first strike.
yup
okay will make less op
"All your Vampires are Looming Shades now"? That's barely in
's pie anyway.
For comparison, see Icatian Priest, Ursapine, and Duskborne Skymarcher.
Functional reprint of Opportunity.
fix'd
oops will fix

Nice thanks guys! This really helps me, I will edit it with something like these <3
This seems to be just exactly Voracious Cobra. Except at common, which is as stated definitely a no-no.
Some possible variations:
"First strike. // As long as ~ is attacking, it has deathtouch." (or vice versa)
"Deathtouch. //
: ~ gains first strike UEOT." (Pestilent Kathari; could also be vice versa on a red card)
"Deathtouch. // Whenever you cast a [set-relevant type of] card, ~ gains first strike UEOT." (or vice versa)

you're right. Ideas to do what I need to that you said (sorry said that weird)
that doesnt seem any different..? how could this break?
Might, I plan Biologica a little bit of colorless creatures
Will the colorless mana matter?
This goes infinite with itself. You need to use a wording that's a replacement effect to avoid the ability looping:
"If an artifact would enter the battlefield under your control, instead it does, then createa token that is a copy of that artifact."
