Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument Combo?!?
Asked by Profet93 1 year ago
I saw a guy post his colorless deck online and he stated that grim monolith (NOT BASALT) + forsaken monument = Infinite Colorless Mana. He said that monolith produces 6 mana, not 4 when combined with forsaken. This doesn't make sense to me. I've been out of MTG for 4 years now so perhaps I'm misunderstanding how the rules work. I don't see that combo online either. Can someone tell me if he's right or wrong?
Sorry this is a late comment for this post, but Grim Monolith and Forsaken Monument do in fact produce infinite mana. Forsaken Monument states that when you tap a permanent (that means mana rocks too), you add an additional colorless to your pool. So with both permanents on the field, now when you tap Grim Monolith, you net 4 so now you can use 3 of the 4 floating colorless to untap the monolith and rinse and repeat. This will essentially produce infinite mana. So the person online was mistaken in the sense that he thought Forsaken Monument produces double mana. It just adds 1 more colorless to permanents when they're tapped. Again, I apologize this is late and you may have found an answer already.

@hemalgiac: Grim Monolith costs to untap. You're thinking of Basalt Monolith, which does cost . That one would work.

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link to help make sure people understand what all is going on in the question: Grim Monolith, Forsaken Monument
No, this doesn't work. Forsaken Monument only adds a single extra when you tap something for colorless mana, not one for every colorless mana you add. Grim Monolith just produces 4 mana in this example, not 6.
