Deck discussion for Valakut

You appear to have problems with your mana curve/ramp. You need to be able to get almost everything you need (land wise) into play by turn 4 or you will likely be given lethal damage by an aggro deck.

With 22 lands in your deck, you only have a 63% chance of drawing normally into 4 lands by turn 4. Raising your land count to 26 improves that to 80%. For a deck like this you need to ensure being able to make your normal land drop in addition to you acceleration (ie "explore")

You also need more tutor effects to pull the Valakuts out of your deck, if this is your win condition you need to get them more reliably.
Suggestions: Expedition Map, Primeval titan

Crucible of Worlds needs more synergistic cards/combos for the land fetch/graveyard-return theme:
Suggestions: Harrow (sorcery), Blighted Woodland, (non-basic land), Scapeshift (Sorcery)


You also should have some sort of backup to crucible of words itself:
Suggestions: Ramunap Excavator (creature), Tilling Treefolk (creature), Splendid Reclamation (sorcery).
Edit: The creatures might actually be better than artifact since you can use them as blockers....

Backup for Valkut (secondary win condition based on landfall)
Suggestions: Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloth.

Rampant Growth is probably better than sylvan scrying.
