Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
No Paint, No Gain...I'll wrap things up with
one last set of Painter's Servant combos. These ones come from Chris S.
and are perhaps the nastiest of the bunch:
Another combolicious Shadowmoor card that seems to be
under the radar is Painter's Servant. One neat in-block combo is with
Oona. With both out, every mana you spend on Oona's ability will get you
a token, even if you mill lands! But the big daddy broken combo is with
Tempest's Grindstone. First turn Grindstone, second turn Painter's
Servant, third turn activate Grindstone and mill the opponent's entire
deck. It's cheap, colorless, and simple.
Since both Oona and Grindstone eat away at your
opponent's library, I decided to put both combos into the same deck, but
you don't have to. Oona is also a "dragon" who can win the game all by
herself, so you can also win without the library destruction. Gauntlet
of Power, um, powers up Oona more than any creature this side of
Verdeloth the Ancient. Not only will you remove more cards and get more
tokens, but those tokens will, uh, get more bigger.
I decided that I would name red with Painter's Servant
for this deck, so I could use the Blue Elemental Blasts that I mentioned
before as well as the Baleful Stares that I didn't. You can certainly
tweak this one however you like. |
