Monument of the Milling Current
The Riverchurn Monument extended art from Aetherdrift is a compact engine for graveyard strategies and a tidy inclusion for artifact decks that want card advantage via the mill route. Riverchurn Monument rewards timing and sequence: its one and blue casting cost makes it easy to slot into tempo builds and its first ability provides a repeatable two card mill to any number of opponents after you pay one and tap. The extended art highlights the flowing architecture of the set and reads cleanly at the table while remaining a display piece for a collection in Light Play condition.
The Monument also offers an Exhaust mode that scales with the game state; pay two and two islands, tap, and it mills players for an amount equal to their graveyard size. That interaction turns stalled matches into explosive plays where your own upkeep and graveyard management matter. Use it to fuel reanimation, delve, or snap decisions to deny opponents resources. For players who pilot Aetherdrift decks, this is a practical card that alters lines of play without requiring heavy setup. Add it to your deck or binder and start turning cards into answers.
