The One Monolith

This deck is centered around the combo between Grim Monolith and Power Artifact. With the aura placed on the monolith you have infinite colorless mana at your disposal. The combo is as old as the game itself: back then you used Basalt Monolith instead. However they fixed it so that BM could not use mana produced by itself to pay for itself untapping. This was unfixed in the 00s. There are other ways to make GM (or BM) go infinite. One I will explore in this deck is Dramatic Reversal imprinted on Isochron Scepter. I made a version of a deck with combos based on GM. And now I have made some upgrades to that deck.

So after some fiddling around with UW - Monolith: I found some shortcomings. Blue Sun's Zenith listed in the deck linked to has too heavy mana cost on islands. It requires three. This is a problem if you want to explode early. For example:

• Turn1: land.
• Turn2: Grim Monolith + land.
• Turn3: Power Artifact + a land.

But now you need another turn before you can let your opponent draw his or hers whole deck. Stroke of Genius can be used instead. But what if you miss the third landdrop then?

The deck is set to either let your opponent draw his/hers whole deck. Or blasting them with Walking Ballista. Consistency in the last version of the deck was fixed with a combination of Cunning Wish and Enlightened Tutor. However Cunning Wish still has that "we need more blue mana" problem.

Fix and make faster

New shit has come to light. So to speak. We can tutor with infinite colorless mana with Kozilek's Command - this card adds other nice features like removal or blockers. Or we can draw our whole deck with The One Ring if we are able to repeatedly untap it with the DR + GM combo. Something is forming:

I'm still holding on to that Teferi. He is quote the guy and he pitches to force. And he can bounce a ring for you if the burden is too heavy to bear. I reckon Dramatic Reversal can be used without being imprinted - it nets you another draw with the ring and probably some mana with GM. Cards like Enlightened Tutor or Brainstorm can be imprinted. The sideboard can be a mix of a tutor toolbox and imprint targets. Maybe something like 4 Surgical Extraction, 4 Orim's Chant and some tutor targets. The game is locked with Teferi + Chant.
