Hi there,
i started to play the deck too since more and more players in Germany do not play any basics anymore and beside that i like the concept of the deck very much... The point of not having brainstorms or any library manipulation (i tested top and hated it since you dont have that mush shuffle-effects) i compensated with lootings, but not with 1 or 2, but straight 4 copies of them: Looting into looting is insane since you have every turn the ability to get 2 fresh cards without further card-disadvantage. Results:
Annecy 8:2
Nuremberg 41 (not funny to loose with active painter against 2 piledrivers^^)
Now here the list with explanations to every card which needs explanations in my opinion:
"Moonraker"
//lands:
4x ancient tomb
4x city of traitors
8x mountain
2x great furnace
//creatures
4x painter's servant
4x imperial recruiter
1x goblin welder (would like to have 2. or even 3. but dont have room for it)
1x jaya ballard
3x magus of the moon (i don't like the idea of cutting magus 2 and 3 since the strategy of 1. turn moon just wins too often alone)
1x phyrexian revoker (too good not to play 1 in the main, looking at sneak attack, hierarchs, qasalis, deathrites, equipments, vials etc.)
4x simian spirit guide
1x manic vandal (originally i had 1 squee in this slot for real CA with lootings, but i like the idea more not to loose vs. chalice 1 preboard or having an out vs. enemy equipments)
//other spells
4x grindstone
4x faithless looting
3x red elemental blast
3x pyroblast
4x blood moon
2x umezawa's jitte (why not play jitte by myself and win really many games just by t1 painter t2 jitte equip attack - but i have to admit that jitte gets worse with the upcoming rule-changes, since it's not more jitte-removal...)
3x chrome mox (again i don't think one should cut theese, ecspecially since in my build you have more red cards to imprint or to discard unnecessary moxes into looting)
//sideboard
3x thorn of amethyst
2x tormod's crypt
3x ensnaring bridge
3x cursed totem (i really like this card in metas where you face elves, maverick or multiple deathrites - beside that the card is a real good out against tin fins)
2x shattering spree (there might be something better, i just hate to loose against affinity or chalice 1)
1x faery macabre
1x duplicant
For any further explanations or discussion, post in this threat or PM me :-)
