i'm building a grixis deck for casual modern fun time and i wanna use Boom/Bust but i am having trouble making it profitable for me, only ideas i come up with are Crucible of Worlds and things i can pull from the graveyard

In case you weren't aware, I believe you can target your fetch with Boom/Bust , and then crack it in response.

U could also use specific hate cards like Boil Boiling Seas or Flashfires ...Fulminator Mage and Rain of Tears are a thing. ...and red is Blood Moon color.

Smallpox is always a great option, regardless of what you other 56 are.

There's various blue spells that bounce lands as a cost. You could use that in Grixis colors to avoid some of the damage, but they mostly interact with islands. Gush and Daze come to mind. Meloku the Clouded Mirror is the boss of that sort of thing.

nobu_the_bard how unfortunate playing bust on curve makes that creature useless, other 2 could work

There was an old PTQ Modern deck that cascaded Bloodbraid Elf into Boom/Bust , which let you destroy all lands and (hopefully) have some sort of board presence. Doing so with Demonic Dread could help with your Grixis build.

Y run Avatar of Woe when u could run Tombstalker ? 6 cards in the grave with DRS caught in a Grafdigger's Cage is nothing in modern.
Though not recommended Royal Assassin is a thing.
I think your game plan involves too many pieces.

You can also use Darksteel Citadel for Boom shenanigans, though it may be hard in a tri-color deck
