DemonDragonJ on Commander/EDH Game Changers

Now that I have a visual representation of this list, I suppose that I should not be surprised that black and blue have the greatest number of game changers, since those colors always have been capable of having extremely powerful effects, and I also am not surprised that creatures and instants are the two card types with the greatest number of entries on this list, but I am slightly surprised that there are no less than seven lands that the commander panel regarded as being sufficiently powerful to warp games.

Also, how is it that Grim MonolithGC is on this list, when Basalt Monolith is not, especially when GM's untap ability has a higher mana cost than does that of BM? Is the lower casting cost of Grim MonolithGC really that significant of an advantage over Basalt Monolith?

@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.
