Rhadamanthus on Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument …

@hemalgiac: Grim Monolith costs {4} to untap. You're thinking of Basalt Monolith, which does cost {3}. That one would work.

Sorry this is a late comment for this post, but Grim Monolith and Forsaken Monument do in fact produce infinite mana. Forsaken Monument states that when you tap a permanent (that means mana rocks too), you add an additional colorless to your pool. So with both permanents on the field, now when you tap Grim Monolith, you net 4 so now you can use 3 of the 4 floating colorless to untap the monolith and rinse and repeat. This will essentially produce infinite mana. So the person online was mistaken in the sense that he thought Forsaken Monument produces double mana. It just adds 1 more colorless to permanents when they're tapped. Again, I apologize this is late and you may have found an answer already.

What are we replacing Mana Crypt with now that they banned it today? Some that come to mind that we could do include Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Mind Stone or Arcane Signet.

Isochron Scepter added. Grim Monolith removed. Now I have 2 Null Brooches haha!

If I cut anything for Isochron Scepter, it would be Grim Monolith. I don't want to use those other counterspells you mentioned. You don't have to agree with Deprive either.

Walking Ballista and Grim Monolith are probably worth looking into! Also, Kozilek, the Broken Reality is MUCH better than Hand of Emrakul.

Metroid_Hybrid on Maxing out pre-Modern cEDH

10 months ago

I have a single, serious cEDH deck built around Yawgmoth, Thran Physician— but with a single, important caveat: EVERY card in the deck that is not explicitly part of the central combo has an “Old” border; that is, either legitimately has a pre-Modern (pre-8ED) printing, or at least received a “Timeshifted” printing after the fact..

But with the printing of Hancock, Ghoulish Mayor, and the recent “Timeshifted” reprinting of Toxic Deluge, I am compelled to asked the T/O community for the first time in over 3 years……

How can I max-out the competitive potential of this particular deck, while still maintaining the said “pre-Modern” prerequisite?

The only possibilities that I can think of…

• Add Triskelion and/or Sling-Gang Lieutenant as back-up WinCons w/ Mikaeus, the Unhallowed

• Add Grim Monolith as the final cEDH mana rock...

• ???
