I would definitely move Terisian Mindbreaker out of the maybe board.

An infinite mill combo would be Painter's Servant + Grindstone

Grindstone + Painter's Servant is a win combo for mill. Cut Your Losses and Bruvac the Grandiloquent is an instant kill. Traumatize does the same thing. I don’t know what your budget is, but I would look into adding some tutors for consistency.

The only reason I am only suggesting Mono Blue cards is due to the fact that I already have a Mill deck. Bruvac the Grandiloquent is my commander. You can Click Here to check it out for ideas if you want.

Grindstones activation will entirely resolve before other abilities are added to the stack.

Effectively, Grindstone will put the entire opponents library into their graveyard. And then Kozilek, Butcher of Truth will trigger and shuffle all of those cards back into their library. The game continues.

So, the situation is I have Painter's Servant and Grindstone out. Friend had Kozilek, Butcher of Truth . I proceed to activate grindstone on them thinking I would be milling their entire deck. What I want to know is this a game draw situation?

I'm making a 5 color combo deck stuffed with ad many infinite or instant win combos as possible. I already have Grindstone/Painter's Servant and Acererak the Archlich/Omniscience. Any fun, salty or wacky combos are welcome

I do like the idea of making, for lack of a better term, mods for magic generally. Something short of card draw could be splitting your deck into land and non-land decks. While that doesn’t get you MORE cards it gives you a little more flexibility. This does NOT work with things like Grindstone, but we did this back before that card came out so good luck on solving that issue ;p Another fun mod, though, is “Four Seasons” where you pick four different things (we did artifacts, but enchantments would be great) to cycle in and out of play as everyone gets a turn. We had done it (as you will have guessed) in a season theme with Winter Orb for winter and Manaflare for summer. Unfortunately all we had for spring and autumn were Wooden Sphere and Iron Star so that wasn’t very cool, but TODAY I bet there are a lot of good things to pick from!! Whatever changes you make, though, there will be a way to maximize your decks for it... as that is at M:tG’s core... so be ready.

AscendedLandfalls: I have... and riddle me this: what value would Painter's Servant serve this deck in absence of Grindstone?
