  1. Why did you make those changes in the update?
  2. You mention in your description...

Valakut, Vesuva

When you have two Valakut, then fetch a land could deal 6... Or Copy make it double...

^ Rings is for activated abilities, Valakut is a triggered ability

Profet93 I mean copy the fetch lands activate ability. When you have both Valakut and Vesuvalakut, fetches go on stack and copy that get you 2 mountains, deal totle 12 damage .

Profet93 Thank you for your message, I think you deserve a complete reply.

This deck is a pre-con deck improvement. As time goes by, we see that a planeswalker from 2014 is really struggling to survive in increasing creature power creep. If you are on a table with a lot of Aggro players, honestly, it is not recommended to use Daretti, Scrap Savant as your commander.

That's been said, there is another question, "What's my thought about updating this deck?".

In recent years, we have received many new card enhancements,(Valakut Awakening  Flip, Wheel of Misfortune, etc.) but with it comes more powerful Anti cards Opposition Agent, Dauthi Voidwalker, and fucking Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip. We have to increase the number of removal spells. If they keep on board, there will be no game experience or only pain in the arse for the rest of the game.

As the situation of the first two is more critical, it is more flexible to use the multi-function burn spell with low CMC like Cathartic Pyre, Abrade should be good. The last one is most likely will be some opponent's commander. Even if you remove her once, she is likely to reappear. At this point, please make good use of political methods.

I hope you can be satisfied with my reply.
