I think boros reckoner is considered a budget card now not too expensive and might replace the zealous conscripts or something just a thought otherwise not a bad deck by any means

I don't like 3 Krenkos, maybe bring him down to 2 and put in maybe another Krenko's Command or Ash Zealot. You don't want 3 in your opening hand, which could happen about 8% of the time. you don't want to lose 1/12 games just because of having too many legendary goblins. Hellion Crucible sucks, not nearly fast enough or mana friendly. you're essentially paying 8 mana and sacking a land over the course of 3 turns for a 4/4 with haste, it's a lot of work for very little return. Also, Reckoner, though I know he isn't budget.

Excellent title lol!!!
I think that 22 lands is a bit much, especially given your curve. You could easily cut two and drop to 20, even 19 and be set.
With all that fuel, Grim Lavamancer would have lots to eat. Eidolon of the Great Revel is also a powerhouse.
I prefer Reforge the Soul over Wheel of Fate . Potentially earlier Miracle vs waiting til turn 5 regardless.
I don't like Isochron Scepter . Granted it's reusable, however straight burn, or the recommended creatures, would be better IMO.

Grim Lavamancer is one of the reasons that fetch lands are strong within burn.
you are trying to do too much with Isochron Scepter , another Rift Bolt or Lava Spike will be more useful.

4x Goblin Guide . Simply put, there is no reason not to (except maybe price). Also, 3 or 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel ? Eidolon is a great card in Modern, since everything is very low cmc. It hurts your opponent while you stock up on burn, then, once he removes it, you flood him with a hand full of goodies. I'm feeling iffy about Isochron Scepter as I think more burn would work better there. Have you considered Flames of the Blood Hand or Hellspark Elemental ? Both are decent cards for a burn deck, the former being a bit slower but great as a sideboard option nonetheless. Nice title btw.

Not much of your burn deals damage across the board. Could be problematic and cause the deck to stall out in mid-to-late game multiplayer matches. Guttersnipe and Thermo-Alchemist can help out with that.
Quest for Pure Flame can be used to end the game swiftly with a deck like this. You also get a counter on it for each opponent you hit, so group burn can make it pop off super quickly.

I'd say you could take out the Monastery Swiftspears to make room. Guttersnipe and Thermo-Alchemist will rack up far more damage than Prowess will, and you already have a lot of great 1 drops in the deck. It might be helpful to have a couple cards with higher CMCs (e.g. Guttersnipe.)
