    This is my build of the deck, updated for WWK:

    4 Scalding Tarn
    4 Volcanic Island
    2 Arid Mesa
    2 Mountain
    1 Island
    4 Ancient Tomb
    2 City of Traitors
    1 Academy Ruins

    4 Simian Spirit Guide
    4 Imperial Recruiter
    4 Magus of the Moon
    4 Painter's Servant
    4 Trinket Mage
    3 Figure of Destiny
    1 Vexing Shusher

    4 Grindstone
    3 Pyroblast
    3 Red Elemental Blast
    3 Chrome Mox
    1 Sensei's Divining Top
    1 Basilisk Collar
    1 Engineered Explosives

    --- Sideboard ---
    3 Blood Moon
    3 Relic of Progenitus
    3 Hydroblast
    3 Blue Elemental Blast
    1 Pyroblast
    1 Red Elemental Blast

    Collar and Explosives, along with Blast+Painter, serve as the deck's removal. The sideboard's designed so you can swap out red blasts for blue blasts against Zoo, Aggro Loam, and the like - so you start naming red with your blasts.
    Just won a 16 man here in Vancouver with this one, with -1 Recruiter + 1 Jaya (don't have 4 recruiter).

    Beat LifeDot (About Face/Kor/Diamond Valley), Solidarity and Zoo, and drew with Zoo in round 4.

    Edit before i sleep:

    Some Thoughts:

    -Basilisk Collar is decent. Helped keep me alive, by having Recruiters staring down goyf.
    -Sometimes I wished Trinket Mage was Cruel Tutor/Grim Tutor or something. I wonder if I can a manabase that works...
    -Jaya was removal bait
    -Zoo is horrible pre-board, winnable post board.
    -Needs something better against storm combo. Pyrostatic Pillar? Might be a shot in the foot. Was thinking of Cerbral Vortex, lol.
