Volcanic Geyser
Instant
This deals X damage to target creature, player or planeswalker.

Nothing would happen. If X=0 for Volcanic Geyser then it wouldn't be dealing any damage and there would be no event for Mechanized Warfare's replacement effect to apply to.

Following up on another question here, if Volcanic Geyser is cast without paying its mana cost, how does that interact with additive damage like Mechanized Warfare? Is X actually zero, so Mechanized Warfare adds 1 damage, or is it a null value, so Mechanized Warfare doesn't add anything?

If you cast an X-cost spells without paying its mana cost, X is zero. So in this case, if you cast Volcanic Geyser without paying its mana cost, it won't do anything.

If I decide to use Volcanic Geyser with Chandra, Pyromaster (-7) ability, what would happen to (X) mana? I could choose how much I want (X) to be, and then not pay the mana cost or (X) needs to be considered equal to 0?

I like the theme of this! Finally a commander deck I can understand :). What about Volcanic Geyser?
Mirage was actually a great set for this theme. You've already got quite a few of them (including my favourite, Torrent of Lava). Cinder Cloud also exists, but probably wouldn't make the cut.
If you ever create a combined version you'd have access to Savage Twister too.

Trim lands down to 35. Drop the Abzan Banner , Ghalta, Primal Hunger , Crashing Drawbridge , Llanowar Elves , Quarry Hauler , Quirion Elves , Rampaging Baloths , Rubblehulk , Sporecrown Thallid , Volcanic Geyser , Rampant Growth , Strength of the Pack , Farseek and Life and Limb .
That leaves you with 45 mana / ramp cards out of 100. And 4 more left to cut.

Thank you for the suggestions, much appreciated! I've made a few changes so far.
Temple of the False God ---> Guildless Commons
Volcanic Geyser ---> Cragcrown Pathway Flip
Murder ---> Blightstep Pathway Flip

I would suggest going up to 38 lands. You're only running a few mana dorks, and having 34 lands in EDH is like running 20 lands in a Standard deck - something only the most low-to-the-ground mono-color decks would do. Here's a really helpful article for thinking about manabases in EDH. (The article actually suggests around 40 lands for a midrange deck, but I think that's a little excessive...)
While we're at it, I would also cut Temple of the False God . It's not a good card and it's especially bad in a 3-color deck!
Even though it sucks to make cuts for lands, you can add utility lands that either cycle or do something in the lategame to make sure you don't get flooded. Here are 5 lands I might consider adding (after cutting Temple) that are not expensive:
Sheltered Thicket
Canyon Slough
Bala Ged Recovery
Flip
Polluted Mire
Barren Moor
And the cards I might cut to make room:
Temple of the False God
Volcanic Geyser
Spine of Ish Sah
Myr Battlesphere
Murder
Finally, Attrition would be a great add to the deck - maybe over Vile Requiem if you're looking for some upgrades!
