Oketra's Monument

Legendary Artifact

White creature spells you cast cost less to cast.

Whenever you cast a creature spell, create a 1/1 white Warrior creature token with vigilance.

Talonisnthavingit on Leaf's Token Deck

1 week ago

Two more land recommendations: Khalni Garden , taking out one Forest, then Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree taking out any land.

Removing Opaline Unicorn for Oketra's Monument could be good for getting extra tokens. The deck already has a lot of mana generation, especially with the addition of cryptolith rite. Now, it will remove a nontoken creature from the deck, but it'll generate you more creatures.

Goretast on Karametra, the infinite improbability god.

Happy to see more and more karametra players these days. I have a few suggestions. You should run dual colored lands with karametra, as Quicksilver suggested. I also like to include Mistveil Plains for utility and creature recycling. I would also include every mana dork you can to get karametra out sooner like Avacyn's Pilgrim , Fyndhorn Elves , Joraga Treespeaker , etc. Lotus Cobra is also insane for the deck and really opens up combos with Whitemane Lion if you are able to discount the lion cost to only 1 mana. This is the emphasis of my deck, infinite whitemane casts to pull out all our lands and win using infinite creature casts. A great discount card is Oketra's Monument . I have plenty of other suggestions, but you could instead check out my primer on karametra to see if there is anything you like. Let me know if you have any questions.

Well, small tips to begin with.

• Divine Visitation does almost nothing and is quite mana expensive considering you have no ramp. It does help with Bishop of Wings , Ajani, Strength of the Pride and Serra the Benevolent . However, considering you have 24 other creatures that it doesn't work with and your planeswalkers won't continuously creature tokens since the'll eventually run out of loyalty, just take it out of the deck.

• Don't get me wrong, Inkmoth Nexus is an amazing card but not in decks like these. Taking into Taking into account your deck is really heavy on mana costs, it probably won't have that many opportunities to attack. And if it attacks you have no way to pump it.

• Just use Pearl Medallion instead of Oketra's Monument . It's cheaper and better.

Changeling Outcast and Universal Automaton are 1 drop warriors, Bloodsoaked Champion and Gutterbones (when it rotates) point to a value strategy,

Orzhov Charm encourages you to play those one drops. Oketra's Monument helps generate some value with tokens, and there are cheap black/white disruption cards that can cover the strategy like Conjurer's Ban , Zealous Persecution & Duress .

SirQuixano on Morophon Elementals

I would look at all the changeling available to you, since they count as elementals but are usually cheaper on mana. If you do choose to play a good amount of changelings, I'd suggest cards like Ayula, Queen Among Bears , Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero , and Reaper King . Some other useful cards are the monuments, such as Oketra's Monument and Rhonas's Monument since elemntals are usually costly. Mirror of the Forebears and Mirage Mirror are also quite good. the two five color elemntals may actually be worth it due to morophon.

SirQuixano on Scarecrow

I would like to recommend Ephemerate , which would just basically be a spell that says 1 white, destroy a permanent, then destroy a permanent at the beginning of each of your upkeep, granted you have a scarecrow on the field. Valiant Changeling will usually just cost 2 white because of other changelings for a 3/3 Doublestriker. Morophon, the Boundless is also just a powerful card that makes things easier to cast in the lategame, especially your commander. Mirror Entity is a great spell for a lategame rushdown. If you really want to, throw in Amrou Scout , Defiant Falcon , and/or Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero to pull out important changelings from your library. Throw in some monuments, like Bontu's Monument and Oketra's Monument to help ramp while gaining benefits for playing your scarecrows and changelings. If you like your changelings enough, maybe throw in a sliver like Talon Sliver or Dregscape Sliver to get even more use out of them. I fyou like these, you may want to lean more into white in your mana base.

Demarge on Mono-white Angels of Devotion

1 month ago

There is an actual update feature you don't have to clog your comment section with updates.

Now I have the honest question of why Archangel of Tithes beyond her bringing the beats and being 3 devotion if she lives? creature based decks are usually much faster and is flooding anyways by the time you drop one of these and you are already really creature removal heavy anyway. have you thought of maybe instead running Restoration Angel ? Flash is powerful, instead of deterring an attack you can surprise block instead. The flicker effect can't hit an angel sure, but it does give you bonus draw with a wall or another tutor with the lancers.

Now I see you've considered Oketra's Monument before, though I'm guessing it at it's simple mode, you could utilize it with creatures like Whitemane Lion and then every 1 white mana you have open becomes a token at instant speed.

For a random idea you could run Fall of the Thran , the land destruction can hit some decks harder and avacyn does make it one sided.

Demarge on Aurelia's Angelic crusade

yeah linvala is pretty decent at stopping up some strategies. The skirmisher might be a better early cut than one of the akroma though.

Now Oketra's Monument is kind of good for mana ramp (these monuments proc their ability off any creature cast, not just the ones it discounts) and you can run cards like Kor Skyfisher or Whitemane Lion to abuse it and go wide on tokens, it gets extra weird when someone I suggest this to also has Divine Visitation (1 mana make an angel when the synergy is built). There is also Hazoret's Monument , while the discount pretty much only hits your commander having a loot engine can help out your minor reanimator strategy and smooth out your draws somewhat closer to that of blue. (it also works to turn land tax's land draws into non lands)

Oh yeah Thalia's Lancers is also a pretty decent tutor.
