Endless possibilities with this guy. The combo potential alone nets him a 5/5, and the low casting cost and decent toughness of 3 secure that rating.
Gloom would be fun with black.

Actually goes well with the Kraken's Eye/Wurm's Tooth/etc cards of all things. Lands are permanents, so they now have that color. You gain a life every time you play a land, and every time you play something else. Not fantastic, but certainly useful, and it builds up.

If you have x1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn in your deck, it would hose the painter//grindstone combo. Unless they can Surgical Extraction Emrakul when he hits the yard.
Also could include these guys in your sideboard, so your doom blade can hit black creatures.

The next person who comments on a card and says "run with Painter's Servant" needs to be slapped profusely. It's like saying "run with Black Lotus".
I'm tired of seeing people telling us to "run" cards like Stromgald Cabal or Bad Moon with Painter's Servant. When you're talking about a card that's spectacularly overpowered, mundane combinations don't count as combos. Just in the same way that Black Lotus + Hypnotic Specter doesn't count as a combo, but Black Lotus + Channel + Fireball does. Painter's Servant + Grindstone is worth mentioning, Painter's Servant + Sea Troll is not.
Get it, guys? 'Cause if not, the palm of my hand has your name written on it...
@ Kodanshi - 5 stars for you!

I have a question. I have an Enchantment card that gives me 4 life everytime an opponent plays a multi-color card. So I played painters servant.. than when he played a spell i was going to gain 4 life. He made the argument that once he puts a card onto the battlefield its now in play and it loses its added color before I can gain health. How does this scenario resolve?

@thefonz: You're right. He casted a spell, the spell had more than one colour, your enchantment triggers. Even if the permanent/spell changes colours afterward the ability still goes.
