Unique/Synergy:

Jeskai Monument (U): If you have the mana to activate the sac ability these are functionally 2-mana draw 2s that fix for themselves. This means they are “hybrid”-y cards that can fit 3 of the 2-color pairs. Unfortunately, the value of the additional “card” they provide varies greatly. 4-mana for two 1/1 flyers is unexciting, but not unplayable. The advantage here is that this is a good control card that can fix early and provide a slow win con later. It also provides fixing without Green.

Watcher of the Wayside (C): A colorless version of Mire Triton. It doesn’t do the job as well, but its floor is fine.

No Interest:

Abzan Monument (U): If you have the mana to activate the sac ability these are functionally 2-mana draw 2s that fix for themselves. This means they are “hybrid”-y cards that can fit 3 of the 2-color pairs. Unfortunately, the value of the additional “card” they provide varies greatly. And the Abzan one is likely the worst since it has a terrible floor.

Boulderborn Dragon (C): I like this more than the various 6-mana 4/4 flyers we have had access to, but I worry that a 3-power flyer just isn’t worth 5-mana.

Dragonstorm Globe (C): Starting Column is a better Manalith with upside in most cubes.

Embermouth Sentinel (C): Puting the land on top of your library is upside, but is significantly worse than something like Pilgrim’s Eye. The problem here is that you are unlikely to control a dragon when the ramp option would be most useful.

Jade-Cast Sentinel (C): I like Hoverstone Pilgrim more.

Mardu Monument (U): 5-mana for 3/3 worth of menace and haste is fine, but the decks that likely want this is aggressive and I don’t think wants to take Turn 2 off. This has been over-performing in limited, but I think most cubes are simply faster formats.

Sultai Monument (U): 4/4 worth of power for 5-mana. Totally fine. The question to ask is whether you’d play a vanilla 4/4 for 5-mana with a 2-mana adventure that searched out a land. I think that card is playable, but unexciting. And this is slightly more mana-restricted than that.

Temur Monument: Probably the best rate at 6-mana for a 5/5, but it doesn’t have evasion and it touches Green, so the value of the fixing is lower.
