A 5 colour mana base needlessly complicates your deck. You are running too many singles and not nearly enough quality mana fixing - I would drop 2 colours at least (  +  or  would be my first choice for cuts). Your current deck lacks coherency and purpose: you need to condense your deck down into playsets of the key cards - you should consider how you want your deck to function, the cards you often like seeing in your hand, etc, and build around them. If you can suggest 2 or 3 cards/interactions/effects you like we will be happy to build around them with you.

Compared to Academy Ruins , Buried Ruin is awful. As you seem infatuated with artifacts, run a full playset of Expedition Map to get the land you need. If you start cutting colors, keep blue. Blue gives you all sorts of wonderful cards, notably Tinker and Etherium Sculptor , among others. Should you decide to go whole-hog on the artifact theme, consider THESE artifact lands. They make wonderful targets for Tinker, as well as facilitating Metalcraft and Affinity. Cheers!

I like the idea of artifact lands but if someone plays creeping corrosion it would mess up evey thing.

Creeping Corrosion and the like would destroy your presence, regardless. Which is why blue has countermagic; running 8-12 pieces of countermagic and the draw to keep your hand full will go a long way towards keeping your side in play.
Of course, the trick then becomes finding the balance between artifacts and support spells.
Cheers!

I would mainboard Sol Ring and a Mox Opal if you can get one. If you're running an Indomitable Archangel consider running at least one Silverskin Armor since it'll essentially give your board shroud. Instead of Unbender Tine try Unwinding Clock . If you end up running more counters/instants this will help a TON when using artifact land. I'd also run 3 or 4 Phyrexian Metamorph s and drop Sculpting Steel . Metamorphs let you copy pretty much anything on the board, whereas Sculpting Steel is just artifacts. Praetors, though powerful, seem misplaced here. I'd focus on one, maybe two of them since they'll just be huge targets that you can't protect, and they are fairly high-costing. You also have no way to fetch or drop them out in an artifact deck.
