Am I creating a draw situation with Kozilek, Butcher of Truth , Grindstone and Painter's Servant?
Asked by bhst5019 4 days ago
So, the situation is I have Painter's Servant and Grindstone out. Friend had Kozilek, Butcher of Truth . I proceed to activate grindstone on them thinking I would be milling their entire deck. What I want to know is this a game draw situation?
So repeating the process is not a separate stack trigger then?

Where you'll run into a problem is if there are cards with replacement effects involved that send send the card back to the library instead of the graveyard (they are still considered to have been "milled" in such a case). If your opponent has two or more copies of something like Progenitus, or if they have Wheel of Sun and Moon, then the game will draw.

Grindstones activation will entirely resolve before other abilities are added to the stack.
Effectively, Grindstone will put the entire opponents library into their graveyard. And then Kozilek, Butcher of Truth will trigger and shuffle all of those cards back into their library. The game continues.
