Are you a Magic: The Gathering Arena player eager to explore the power of Eldrazi in your deck? Look no further than the Eldrazi Monument, a powerful artifact that can turn the tide of any battle. Let's delve into the details of this iconic card, its uses, and how to best utilize it in your MTG Arena strategy.

Understanding Eldrazi Monument

The Eldrazi Monument is a legendary artifact from the Zendikar Rising set, with a unique and powerful effect. It reads, "Creatures you control have 'Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, draw a card.'" In essence, every creature in your deck gains a mini-Battle Cry, making the Eldrazi Monument a game-changer in both Limited and Constructed formats.

Why Play Eldrazi Monument in MTG Arena?

  • Card Advantage: The Eldrazi Monument provides significant card advantage. Every creature you control draws you a card when it deals combat damage, allowing you to refill your hand quickly and maintain pressure on your opponent.
  • Synergy with Eldrazi: The Monument shines in Eldrazi decks, as these creatures often have powerful enters-the-battlefield effects or can attack and block multiple times in a turn, thanks to abilities like Menace or Unblockable.
  • Versatility: Unlike many powerful cards, the Eldrazi Monument doesn't require a specific mana investment. It can be played in any deck that wants to take advantage of its powerful effect, regardless of color or strategy.

Mana Curve

Ensure your mana curve is smooth and allows you to cast the Eldrazi Monument on curve, typically on turn four. This will give you the most time to take advantage of its powerful effect.
