Forsaken Monument: Colorless Power Play
Forsaken Monument sits as a quiet anchor in colorless strategies, rising from a weathered, ruin-strewn landscape. Colorless creatures you control get +2/+2, which helps push early boards and scale into midgame pressure. It also leans into the colorless mana engine: whenever you tap a permanent for colorless mana, you add an additional colorless mana, letting you squeeze extra turns out of rocks and mana sinks. If you cast a colorless spell, you gain 2 life, providing a small buffer against pings and aggressive starts.
In practical Commander terms, the Monument shines when your deck leans heavily on colorless spells and big colorless threats. It doesn't require any color commitments, so it slots neatly into mono-colorless builds or traditional Eldrazi shells. Flavor text hints at its wanderer fate: “We shall forever roam.” — Ayl'i, high priest of the Eternal Pilgrims. The relic's sturdiness helps set a tempo where colorless creatures become the core of your board, while the life swing keeps you in the game through long games and sweeps.
