Deck discussion for Discard land Destruction

I've played land destruction and I've played discard decks, and often times I will struggle to achieve the one thing they are designed to, so I think trying to do both at the same time is far too ambitious. If you're only going to use basic lands you will need a lot more mountains than that. Dragonskull Summit is a good choice: effective and less than $2 a piece. I'm a confused as to why this is tagged as budget when you have >$32 on Blood Moons alone. Wrench Mind is weak against any deck with artifacts so be careful maindecking it.

The synergy between Crucible of Worlds, Boom & Bust, Smallpox, and Darksteel Citadel is pretty neat. I would consider going mostly black with a splash of red for Boom/Bust and some burn. Take a look at Terminate, Manaforge Cinder(manafixing), Rise//Fall, Rakdos's Return, and Dreadbore for other cards that may be useful in these colors.

I really like the overall idea. I don't think this will ever become a tier1 deck, though.

That said, I think you should see what you can make of it! Here are some of my suggestions:

Obviously, you need to work on your mana base. With the next to limitless options to control your colors in freeform, you can do much better depending on your purse. I understand this is a budget deck, so I wont talk much about fetchlands, shocks etc, but the check lands like Dragonskull Summit really isn't very costly nowadays. Additionally, you can try cards like Ghost Quarters. Try mixing this with your Crucible of Worlds and let the festivities begin. Before you know it, your opponent is bled dry for basics and on his way to impending doom.

I fear you might find yourself very vulnurable to early threats like aggro creatures and/or the cheap counterspells avaiable in freeform magic (Counterspell, Remand, Mana leak etc). Maybe remove a few of your CMC3 land destruction spells and use some of the very powerful CMC1 discard spells like Inquisition of Kozilek and Thoughtseize. On a budget, take a look at Duress and Despise.

If you can find space for some of the good spot removals too, that would be nice. I'm thinking Lightning Bolt, Terminate, Doom Blade etc. Most of them are certain kills early game, and if your game plan behaves, your opponent shouldn't even get to their late game stages.

I'm, obviously, a very big fan of land destruction myself, and i'm trying to make it work in Modern. You can take a look at my current deck list if you will :) Please note it consist of the cards I actually own, and my planned changes can be found in the description below the list :)
