Thank you Peter, so if I try to apply the rules you quoted:
- Can we consider that the player drawing cards doesn't mean the game has "changed in a relevant way"? Which means if I draw my Gaea's Blessing and my opponent can't be sure, he can't combo again.
- Can we consider that if I play my Gaea's Blessing from hand, now the game has "changed in a relevant way"?
- If they see it in my hand by playing Gitaxian Probe, is it the same or because hand is a hidden/private zone (can't remember the term), the game still considers he doesn't know it?
To be clear, I'm not just asking for fun, all of this can happen in my real life (how exciting!) and I would like to be able to have a solution to the problem before it happens.
EDIT : I forgot the last one : if my opponent draws a solution to exile Gaea's blessing in response, he can combo off again at that moment (but only if he drew that - or at least something that could unlock the situation)?

I am wondering about the ruling we should apply in the following situation :
I have 1 Gaea's Blessing in my deck, and my opponent sets up a combo allowing them to mill my entire library little by little, at any time (let's say they can produce as much mana as they want, and loop Petals of Insight by returning it to hand + splice Dampen Thought into Petals, but I'm interested in any other kind of mill combo like Grindstone+Painter's Servant if the answer is different).
What I was told from now is that they can play the combo and mill me until we find the Gaea's Blessing, then we shuffle everything back and they can't play the combo again, because there is no finite and determined loop that would place Gaea's Blessing in the last position of the library and the rest into the graveyard.
Now, my question is: what does it exactly mean? They can't play the combo again at that moment, but can they try it later?
- Can they at least mill me again just to put 1 or 2 specific cards into my graveyard and stop the loop? (my guess would be no...)
- Can they try it again every turn, hoping I drew my Gaea's Blessing?
- What if they have a solution to Gaea's Blessing's shuffle effect later in the game (something in hand Faerie Macabre, or something on the battlefield Wheel of Sun and Moon)?
