Painter's Servant Rulings
- Sep 1, 2026
Each card becomes a new object as it changes zones, so this effect will apply to it from scratch in the new zone. However, replacement effects that care about the color of permanents entering the battlefield (like "[color] permanents enter tapped") will apply to permanents entering if that color was chosen for Painter's Servant because Painter's Servant's effect applies simultaneously with those permanents entering the battlefield. Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "whenever a [color] permanent enters" or "whenever you cast a [color] spell") will also work.

Each card becomes a new object as it changes zones, so this effect will apply to it from scratch in the new zone. Zone-change replacement abilities that care about the new color (like "[color] permanents enter tapped") won't work because those effects are applied as the card is entering its new zone. Zone-change triggered abilities that care about the new color (like "when a [color] permanent enters" or "when you cast a [color] spell") will work because those effects apply after the card is already in its new zone.
- May 1, 2008
If something affected by Painter's Servant is normally colorless, it will simply be the new color. It won't be both the new color and colorless.
- May 1, 2008
The effects of multiple Painter's Servants are cumulative.
- May 1, 2008
This ability affects every card in every game zone, all tokens on the battlefield, and all spell copies on the stack, regardless of who controls or owns them.
