Locally there are nearly no fair decks (2 Reanimator, 2 Lands, Storm, 4Color Loam, some other Blood Moon Decks) and I think this attacks from the right angle. I have played other Chalice decks before (4Color Loam, Eldrazi Aggro, Stax) but many of then struggle against Lands.

Here is about what I would play:
4x Ancient Tomb
4x Blood Moon
3x Bonfire of the Damned
4x Chalice of the Void
1x Chandra, Pyromaster
4x Chrome Mox
4x City of Traitors
4x Ensnaring Bridge
4x Goblin Rabblemaster
2x Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
4x Koth of the Hammer
3x Magma Jet
3x Magus of the Moon
10x Mountain
2x Pia and Kiran Nalaar
4x Simian Spirit Guide
SB:
3x Faerie Macabre
2x Fiery Confluence
1x Magus of the Moon
2x Phyrexian Revoker
1x Pyrokinesis
1x Ratchet Bomb
2x Tormod's Crypt
3x Trinisphere

What else do I need in the sideboard? This was just thrown together haphazardly - the only thing I am sure of is 4-5 gravehate cards.
I've been playing a Bridge/Chalice/Moon version on MTGO and at my LGS weekly event and I've been enjoying it. I used to run Pia and Kiran, Rabblemaster, and a few other creatures and equipment, but then shifted to a more spell-based version. I like what you have above as it's somewhere between the two.

I play a split of Chandra and Koth because I run 4 Fiery Confluence and ultimating Chandra for Confluence is really a wonderful feeling. That said, running confluence in your main may not be bad with so many decks that run important artifacts. I have a lot of D&T at my store and triple shatter for 2RR (or even 3RR with Thalia) is amazing.

The sideboard looks similar to mine, though if you're not dealing with a lot of creatures, Pyrokinesis may not be necessary.
