Technically it works but the advantage is minimal. If anything it can help get threshold for {barbarian ring}.
Fetch lands + {Grim Lavamancer} + {Searing Blaze} is an option in a creature filled meta. I'm currently dealing with lots of combo/control in my meta. Speed is invaluable right now, and this deck goldfishs turn 4 all day long.

Really?? With 18 lands and no fetches If u have a single land in your starting hand you have more than a 32% chance to draw into a land.
Enjoy getting land flooded at legacy.

Why are you keeping an opening hand with 1 land? Also, I wouldn't consider one land every three turns "flooding". But I don't know legacy that well. *shrug*
In a deck where u really only need 2 lands to cast any spell in your deck.
The chances are much greater than 1 land every 3 turns. Roll a 6 sides die and see how often 2 and 4 pop up within 5 rolls. Which equals to 5 draw steps 2-3 out of 5 draws will be land.
You can do whatever u want I'm just trying to help you get better draws. I play legacy every sat and aggro decks really need to win before turn 4 otherwise you will get combo'd on or locked down.

This.
The deck only runs 18 lands. I play Legacy every Saturday. I have top 8ed every legacy event I have played in with this deck since 2010 (and on many of those occasions I played Grim Lavamancer + fetchs, especially before Vexing Devil).
Here is a nice article about the fetch lands thinning the deck:
http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/print.asp?ID=3096
Currently in the meta I play in fetches are no good (Control/Combo meta, I need to be fast, and I have to be mindful of {Stifle}). If I played with Grim Lavamancer in an aggro meta absolutely I would be running fetches. I prefer the Onslaught ones myself {Bloodstained Mire} and {Wooded Foothills}
Can we move on to the rest of the deck? The only slot I am currently testing is the 1x Reverberate, I could easily add a singleton of {Incinerate} or {Shard Volley} but being able to Reverberate a Fireblast FTW, or reverberate a counter to let my burn through is just too fun to pass up.
I'm also seriously considering {Runeflare Trap} to the board, but it is extremely situational.
bump?

I don't like the reverb. As a burn player myself I am completely against having non land cards that don't deal damage, and while reverb can be powerful, it's a horrible top deck card.
Have you thought of {thunderous wrath}? I know it's an auto mulligan, but I run two in my deck for top deck mode.
I've always played savannahs and plateaus in this deck as well to utilize things like lightning helix and wild nacatl
