Wow, almost 200 votes, thanks everyone who has contributed to this.
I've been away from this deck for a while so I apologize for the lack of responses. I did, however, take some of your suggestions and apply them. It's a tad more expensive now, but that's just because the lands, lol.
RoosterAfro the reason to use Whipflare instead of Pyroclasm is that nearly every other non-land card is anti-artifact. He can also protect his own creatures from Whipflare with Liquimetal Coating.

Stone Rain was what I was thinking of when I said Rain of Tears, but Molten Rain might be better with the current meta - plus it's the same cmc in a mono deck so no reason to take stone rain.

I like this deck. I been testing it on Cockatrice to see if I might considering breaking in to modern with it but it just get blown away before you can really be effective. I am curious exactly how you are piloting the deck to pull off the combos fast enought to be effective. I am wondering if running Voltaic Key might help. Or maybe something like Destructive Revelry or Smash to Smithereens were you can shock/bolt them at the same time. Oxidize is slightly better than Smelt. With the Mycosynth Lattice method Vandalblast seems good.

I know its sorcery but Meltdown X=0 would work for taking out more than one artifact land for one mana.
Possible sideboard card Mogg Salvage

Meltdown isn't Modern legal.
It was a nice thought, though.

Afflicted Deserter Flip maybe? Great deck...I was planning to do something like using Liquimetal Coating + Splinter but using U instead R. But now I really want to use GR HAHHA Big +1

Random card I found: Master Thief
If only Magus of the Unseen was modern legal...

Er, whoops, you're playing R/G. Maybe these will be helpful...

InDirectX those are good, I like the Metallic Mastery one. Might try to fit that one in.

I Really like this deck but I made some modifications, I turned it into a black/green and made it to were I mill myself until I find the cards i need. I Have a lot of one costing artifact destroyers to take out any creatures they would have.

Ironically, this deck is rather vulnerable to artifact destruction.
Oh god, imagine playing the mirror.

Flashfires to sideboard against white, Echoing Ruin works well for the land destruction once you've made them into artifacts.

Temple of Abandon is better than Rootbound Crag because it also helps you mill for a Liquimetal Coating a little bit faster. I've also found it to be a dollar cheaper than Rootbound so that works towards the budget aspect of the deck as well.

Gruul Guildgate is also a solid choice to replace Rootbound Crag or Copperline Gorge and is cheap as hell.

Araganor's comment made me think, and I have... something. Could you start taking control of their 'artifacts' too as a countermeasure? (I feel like I'm seeing blue, because you're just mangling them at this point.) Using Scarwood Bandits or Aladdin, you could keep their lands or other permanents, and if you lose something you happen to need, with Trading Post you can get it back. Or would that not work because the effects of Liquimetal Coating and Myr Landshaper last only until end of turn?

Hearth Kami is strictly better than Torch Fiend when it comes up to blowing up lands.

Pretty good Affinity matchup.
I don't know if you have explained the Viridian Corrupter's Infect yet, but Manic Vandal is much easier to cast.
