!!!...Considering adding...!!!

?x Gifts Ungiven
1x Revive
1x Merchant Scroll - (Aside from interaction below, this could tutor a Gifts Ungiven, or a second Painter's Servant could name Blue.)

• Main problem.... Revive is Sorcery speed.
  Perhaps Noxious Revival would work better... still do it at end of turn, and won't use up 2 mana on your main phase.

Painter's Servant allows for Hibernation to reset the board. - Since Hibernation is an Instant, you can cast it in response to casting a creature... sac'ing a fetch... activating Aether Vial... or any combination of those.

Painter's Servant allows for a Dramatic Entrance into Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Craterhoof Behemoth.

Painter's Servant can also allow Summoner's Pact Fetch an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. - Perfect for going 'End of opponents turn', Summoner's Pact then Dramatic Entrance into Emrakul.

Chord of Calling with X=0 and Aether Vial can get you extra ramp with a free Dryad Arbor... though both are intended for ensuring you get Painter's Servant into play.

1 downfall to this deck... if they remove the Painter's Servant in response to Hibernation... you will typically bounce just your permanents. - Spellskite greatly reduces this issue.
