I don't think it's so much looking for Casters and just happening to pick an artist, but rather just wanting to make an artist into a Servant and Caster happening to be the most fitting Class most of the time (as it lacks the explicitly martial qualifications of most other Classes). And Shakespeare in Apocrypha was chosen specifically because he was a writer, as Amakusa wanted someone to "rewrite" the Grail and remove Angra Mainyu's corruption.

Okay, I got that part wrong (mixed it up with Shirou wanting to annihilate Angra Mainyu, but that was in more of a metaphorical sense and not referring to the Grail specifically). But Shakespeare's rewriting powers through First Folio was part of what allowed Amakusa to enter the Greater Grail, right? That's what I was thinking of.
If I recall correctly, it was something like "with First Folio, Xanadu Matrix and Evil Eater combined, I can control the Greater Grail". I don't recall the specific role of First Folio in all that, though.
Imaginary Scramble is supposed to be the big story about Nemo, and Nemo was already established as a character who struggled with a minor identity crisis over being a 50/50 fusion of two completely different beings, so it just makes narrative sense for his story to be co-starred by someone who also has an identity crisis over being a fusion. What's the point in picking Clytie and Van Gogh specifically I still don't know since I'm still about halfway through the event, but the half I already translated shows pretty clearly that the narrative demanded a fusion before it demanded any of its specific parts.

lol Atlas magi will not save the world.
never played melty blood?
I must have forgotten when Goetia was one of the our Chaldea staff members.
Technically it's all Shirou's fault.
which entity is listen as Guda's employer on his paycheck?

Goetia was Romani's thing.
also you had a literal demon pillar as part of their staff, who, had he commited suicide, would have possibly prevented Goetia's plan
Goetia isn't Chaldea and pretending otherwise is extremely stupid.
