Deck Description

I want to play my Kuldotha Boros deck in modern: https://www.mtgvault.com/gr33dy/decks/kuldotha-boros-pauper-2/

This is my rough draft, and I only spent 20 minutes on the list. I will not be using Solitude or Urza's Saga because I refuse to spend the money on those cards. I want the deck to feel close to what I already play. I have 0 testing with this list, but plan on testing when I have time soon.

How to Play

Recent Match Results:
Rakdos Scam: 2-1 LWW Leyline was the MVP post boarding.
Izzet Murktide: 0-2 LL Too much interaction, but game 2 was close after an aggro start.
UB Mill: 2-1 LWW Leyline wins again. Shame scoop for the opponent G3 after milling themselves 20+ cards to Hedron Crab x.x

Deck discussion for Kuldotha Boros (Modern!?)

:D Nice one. I just mixed and matched something similiar of a deck together, but in rakdos.
I believe Makeshift Munitions to be too slow for modern. The restriction to pay one mana per activation is severe :(
To be able to also sac artifacts with it is not enough of a benefit imo.
Goblin Bombardement is also a common, and enables you to sac your whole board if that nasty Fury visits to sweep all your goblins away.
Cleansing Wildfire is a nice play to ramp and draw cards, but doesn't fit your initial gameplan!?
It doesn't need to change, it just strikes me as odd.
Maybe there is something in boros that supports the gobbo-sac-strategy better? Also, tapped lands (Rustvale Bridge) in modern can be real bad. Losing that one turn, because your land entered tapped might easily lose you the game :(

I like the bouncing of your artifacts :D
Ephemerate (instead of cleansing wildfire) supports your bounce plan, and protects your non-token creatures. You would be able to draw so many cards *.*

Oh, I see the build now! Very cool idea! My idea came to me while I was playing MTGO and talking to my brother about modern. He said my deck was basically modern legal already and just needed a couple upgrades. So I threw together this list. I like your deck a lot!
Makeshift Munitions is good because it can sacrifice artifacts as well as creatures. This gives more use to Ichor Wellspring and Blood Tokens. I do agree that the (1) each activation is limiting, but I wanted a more flexible option rather than using Goblin Bombardment for only creatures.
Now, Cleansing Wildfire is not to be used on the opponent's lands. It is synergy with Rustvale Bridge and Darksteel Citadel to draw 1 and ramp a land with 0 drawback because the land is indestructible. It's very common in builds like this in pauper. It also has the small upside to blow up a Tron land or a pesky Cabal Coffers randomly.

I hope this clears up some of my choices :)

UPDATE:
I changed 4 cards in the sideboard because money.
- 2 Roiling Vortex
- 2 March of Otherworldly Light

+ 4 Leyline of Sanctity

I play exclusively on MTGO and Roiling Vortex is over $10 each, and March of Otherworldly Light is $5 each. In my current situation, I can not spend money on cards. I had a lot of this list already from playing modern and pauper. I just had to spend like $1 on random cards.
Not to mention that Leyline is a great cards against Scam and other heavy discard decks. I Could also remove the Kor Firewalker s and just use the Leyline as burn hate. Not sure yet because I only played a couple matches so far.
