When you use Myr Landshaper, the target land becomes an artifact in addition to it's other types so it would be both a basic land and an artifact. I would think that you may still target this with Molten Rain because it is still a basic land.

Just for some clarification:

Q: I have a question regarding Myr Landshaper's ability. If the Landshaper targets a basic land with its ability and makes it an artifact land, is the resulting land basic or nonbasic until the end of turn, for the purpose of determining the amount of damage done by Price of Progress? -- Curtis Wasson

A: The land will still be basic. Currently, nothing can add or remove supertypes such as "basic" from a permanent, and making the land an artifact in addition to a land won't change the fact that it's still basic.
