This, Ornithopter, Gleemax, and Blazing Shoal...go!
Oh, pre-release story for this guy: my opponent had him alongside Kithkin Rabble...unfortunately, I had an Oona, Queen of the Fae...the kithkin never connected :/

Grindstone, as mentioned before is likely the best card for this, yet there are still a lot of other fun combos with this card.
It can make many Sideboard-choices to Mainboard-awesomesauce.
Take Seedtime for inststance. Green Time Walk four times in an Extended or Legacy deck? Sounds like fun!

Personally, I think mill is rather boring, predictable, and WAY overestimated. There are so many other good uses for this card. It's a shame that this is rotating out of standard, really, but at least it's still in extended and will definitely be in vintage. A couple of good uses for this bad boy:
~Your typical Scarecrow deck for Shadowmoor/Eventide
~The Invasion cycle of legendary dragons (esp. Rith, the Awakener and Treva, the Renewer.)
~Vampire Nocturnus
~Akroma, Angel of Wrath or Akroma, Angel of Fury, or just about any card with protection from a color (not counting cards like Progenitus.)
~Cards that have Radiance (from the Ravnica block)
~Deathmark or any other cards that destroy or exile cards of a particular color(s).
Those are just a few of the many possibilities you can use this card for. So take the time and explore all of the ... (see all)

Combos quite nicely with other cards.
How about Iona, Shield of Emeria ?

This + Grindstone = possible turn 3 win.

I love playing him along with Llawan, Cephalid Empress and Spellbane Centaur. Once Painter and Spellbane are in play, no one can target any of my creatures. Then, when Llawan joins the fun, the opponent can't play creatures anymore. The only option left to do is to hard-cast creatures or use spells that does not target, but those, I can just use a Red Elemental Blast. I like my deck around it.
I also love how, in a certain game, playing Painter's Servant instantly boosted Faerie Swarm from 1/1 to 10/10.
As an additionnal note, I'd like to choose Brown (Avatar of Me) or Pink (Water Gun Balloon Game). Serves no real purpose, except for a laugh. Are those legal choices outside Un-sets format?

Combo's are made possible by this card, if you see it played beware.
