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.
