In my opinion, Mox Diamond is better than Chrome Mox because you only need to discard a land, as opposed to exiling a spell.

you're not going to run the Sage of Fables + Glen Elendra Archmage combo? Janky to be sure but its pretty brutal and they're both good cards on their own. Not to mention then you can sac Archmage to Voidmage Prodigy for a 2 mana recurable counter.
I would also recommend Misdirection and Isochron Scepter.

I come from the world of regular commander, so its a hard call on what is good value in duel, but I would say that you have too many lands, especially for a draw card general. I also don't like the idea of Chrome Mox. I know that its the only ramp in the deck, however as a once off, i think you could happily replace it with a High Tide and get so much more value from it or put a Sapphire Medallion in the deck to get so much more vlaue. I would also look at cutting your lands down to 39/40, 42 seems really high, especially with your curve peaking at 2/3. Also, things like Hapless Researcher are nice, but hes a catch 22 card - you can only use him once unless your don't use him at all until yo ucast your general. Things like that can easily be replaced by cards with the "loot" effect (though its not called that). See Merfolk Looter for an example.

Lands you might be interested in are Reliquary Tower and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Unlimited hand size with all this draw is perfect and Nykthos is great since Azami alone gives you enough devotion start using it.

You're running Brainstorm without many ways to shuffle your deck, that seems really bad.
