To be honest, painter shines best in vintage and legacy, really. I've been using it in EDH decks for months, and it's been cute to good, but far from backbreaking. enabling blasts are good, making opponent's swords of X and Y fall off is fun, and while grindstone is a thing, make sure your opponent doesn't have progenitus and blightsteel colossus in their deck.
One really janky use i can see working is using flash of insight. exile your yard, then demonic tutor for a card from your deck, and then stack your deck as you choose. It's very useful in 60-card, but not sure how useful it'd be in EDH.

I'm not sure how the rules work here, with 2 intervening 'if' clauses on two separate cards.
But back to the topic at hand, king crab, spinal villain are also things. breath of dreams?

One card that actually breaks legacy painter is goblin welder. it's the unsung hero that really makes the synergies sing. So maybe daretti, scrap savant, welder and goblin engineer?
