Need Help With Budget Grixis Manabase
Deck Help forum

Right now, I'm building a Grixis deck centered around Bolas but I'm trying to keep the manabase budget while staying competitive. I'm willing to spend up to $50 outside of the cards I already have on the manabase itself. The deck itself has a lot of control aspects with a bit of beatdown, with either Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker or Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh being the primary win conditions and Blood Tyrant / Defiler of Souls being back up win conditions.
Right now, I have:
Any Number of Basics (Who Doesn't)
Blood Crypt 1x
Watery Grave 2x
I will have Crypt of the Eternals 1x (pre-ordered, I liked the land; if it doesn't go in here I have another Grixis deck)
Sulfur Falls 1x
Again, I want to keep the manabase under $50 outside of what I already have. What I listed above is what's available to help construct the manabase (without spending out of the $50). Thank you!
(30% black, 19% blue, 21% red, 30% colorless (not the Eldrazi kind) in the deck)
Deck is mostly multicolored, with the majority of spells being 2 mana but having several 1 mana spells and a lot of 3-5 mana spells. Only five 6+ mana spells.
But a play set of flooded strand and you should be good you'll have fetches you need and enough shocks

This is what I have that I decided on so far:
Land
2 x Island
2 x Mountain
2 x Swamp
2 x Polluted Delta
1 x Steam Vents
1 x Sulfur Falls
2 x Blood Crypt
2 x Drowned Catacomb
2 x Watery Grave
Any comments? I sorta feel like it might be a bit hard-hitting to my life total but I am playing control... my one concern being burn match-ups. I still feel that'll be alright, though, since I run Lich's Mirror on the sideboard.

Aiming for 22 lands total; this is a Modern deck.
