Bored at work and felt like building up an old deck with a fairly new win condition. I'm trying to combine the old Rack tax draw engine with Painter's Grindstone as the wincon. It feels too slow for competitive Vintage play but, its kind of fun to mess around the old' kitchen table with.

Land
1 Strip Mine
7 Plains
5 Mountain
4 Plateau

Enchantments
1 Blood Moon
4 Land Tax
1 Story Circle
2 Oblivion Ring

Artifacts
4 Grindstone
1 Mox Diamond
4 Scroll Rack
1 Sol Ring
4 Painter's Servant

Spells
3 Argivian Find
1 Balance
2 Chalice of the Void
2 Disenchant
1 Enlightened Tutor
2 Gamble
3 Lightning Helix
2 Orim's Chant
2 Path to Exile
1 Planar Birth
2 Shattering Spree
1 Wheel of Fortune

Cards to cut? Cards to Add? I haven't even started to figure out a sideboard...

This was a casual game but, my opponent has no cards in hand and I forget that I can sac my kobolds to phyrexian altar to play y.will from my hand and generate enough storm playing the kobolds out of my graveyard to play either tendrils or grapeshot. How can I forget about Y. will? I almost cried and I felt like less of a man for a while after that.

One could sub Time Vault for Chronatog for a more constistent but, expensive alternative (in relation to CC not in dollars and cents). Essentially doing the same thing.

Thank you for your response.

We all have a clear understanding of Stasis. Everyone skips their untap phase and the controlling player pays  on his/her upkeep. Orb of dreams makes all permanents come into play tapped. With the newer wording on Time Vault, I can untap my time vault to skip my turn thus making the other player take another turn and tap more of his/her assests and falling more into "Stasis-lock" without tapping my own assests for the upkeep of Stasis. My question is: Am I missing something regarding the synergy of these cards?

Please reserve the Stasis hate.

Un-restriction is an option. It does seem like this card hasn't received alot of play... well, at least as far as I can remember. I guess I'll stick with my vault/key until some new Tech arrives. My brain is racked... It seems like the world was so much easier back around Mirage/Rath blocks.

I like:
4 gemstone mines
4 ray of revelation
3 riftstone portal
2 pithing needle
2 ancient grudge
Thats just me though... I tried out:
-2 gemstone mine
-2 ray of revelation
+1 balance
+3 Swords to plowshares.

My meta was full of big men.

Besides the increase in CC is there a reason why I wouldn't run basalt monoliths over the restricted grim monolith? I've been thinking of dusting off the whole Power artifact/monolith= lots of colorless mana thing. I'm just wondering if I was missing something.
