[Deck] Imperial Painter

[Mr.C]

With Basilisk Collar in Worldwake, Trinket Mage looks even more appealing.

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.
