Monkey Cage Trap
Instant - Trap
If an opponent has cast a creature spell with Mana value 5 or greater this turn, you may pay instead of paying this spell's mana cost.
The next time a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control this turn, you create a number of 2/1 red and green monkey creature tokens equal to that creatures mana value.
Time for monkey business.
Create a legendary monkey monk.

legendofa, Monkey Cage's original printing begs to differ
Pineal Gland
Artifact
When Pineal Gland enters the battlefield, draw a card.
: Shuffle up to five cards from your graveyard into your library. Activate only as a sorcery.
, sacrifice Pineal Gland: Shuffle your hand into your library, then draw two cards.
Descartes believed that the connection between thought and reality was sustained through a gland in the body which housed thought itself. I wanted to create a card that showed that organ in a jar (as Izzet do) and also helps my jeskai wheel deck not self-mill. A single spell that shuffles graveyard-to-library doesn't cut it... I need a permanent with the ability to repeat the effect. And I think I balaned it out well by restricting it to sorcery speed (so it can't be abused by other combo decks).

Thanks for making me think about the joy of Monkey Cage again. I'd built my Daretti, Scrap Savant deck years ago and discovered Monkey Cage then, but I'd never figured out how to turn it into a real win-con. Well now I've got one: Scraptacular

Mystic Reflection , Biblioplex Assistant , Bolas's Citadel to Massacar's combo and and you'll get tokens of whatever you want and cast spells that are in your graveyard by paying life.
This still doesn't need Monkey Cage to work, but it's a fun card with Goblin Welder , Thornbite Staff and a sac outlet.

Done it: 5 card combo
Goblin Welder + Thornbite Staff
Pentavus and a Hangarback Walker may be useful

Goblin Welder + Thornbite Staff + one of these two in grave and the other on the field Myr Battlesphere / Monkey Cage = M&M TOKENS!!!!! (Monkeys and Myr)
Myr etb's and creates handy sacrifice tokens you can use to recur the monkey cage. You can sac the myr and recur it to get both more myr and monkeys each time.
The cage is superfluous in this combo since you could use any other artifact as a part of it, but it would work and be amusing.

I think you can do it with Karn, Silver Golem + Nim Deathmantle + Mycosynth Lattice + Ashnod's Altar / Krark-Clan Ironworks + Metalwork Colossus + + mana.
With everything but the Colossus in play, use Karn, Silver Golem to make Monkey Cage a creature and equip Nim Deathmantle to it. Play Metalwork Colossus which will be free to cast. When sacking the cage pay the cost for Nim Deathmantle to bring back the cage. It will return but not be a creature so the Deahtmantle falls off. You'll get 11 monkeys. Sac Metalwork Colossus then sac 2 monkeys to return it to your hand. Use Karn to make the cage a creature again then sac 2 monkeys and equip the Deathmantle. Then play the Colossus again. Sac 2 monkeys to pay for the Deathmantle trigger to bring the cage back. Then loop as many times at you want. You should net 5 monkeys and mana each time through.
I think that's all right...
