Well, here’s another control I’m building over the summer so i can start to play legacy events. As you can tell, its a control deck. The win factor is the combo of Painter’s Servant and Grindstone. As Painter’s Servant enters the battlefield, you choose a color, and all cards everywhere become that color, then you activate grindstone’s ability which makes the opponent mill 2 cards and if they share a color they repeat the process. This combo results in an instant mill, so the next turn when they draw a card they lose the game .

Its a potential 3rd turn win.

hehehe…
