"Find me cards equivalent to: Sinister Monolith"

Cards equivalent to Sinister Monolith (Artifact, Black color identity, life drain, and card draw with a life payment):
1. Midnight Clock – Artifact, mana sink, and card draw over time (doesn't drain life, but similar recurring value).
2. Herald's Horn – Artifact, consistent card advantage (though not life drain).
3. Fellwar Stone – Artifact, ramp (fills a utility slot, but lacks card draw/life drain).
4. Etherflux Reservoir – Artifact, lifegain and potential life-to-effect transaction.
5. Bontu's Monument – Artifact, Black color identity, drains life when casting creatures.
6. Greed (not actually an artifact but strong Black card draw with life payment)—closest effect.


Reason: True Black-colored artifacts with both life drain and a pay-life-for-cards effect are rare; most similar artifacts give card advantage or drain, not both. Sinister Monolith isn’t a real card, but based on its description, “Greed” is the closest, and Bontu's Monument has the correct color and life loss effect.

  • A creature spell that's multiple colors is each of those colors. For example, Ahn-Crop Champion is a white creature and a green creature, so it can benefit from either Oketra's Monument or Rhonas's Monument—or both at once.
  • Each Monument has one ability that reduces the cost of creature spells of a certain color, and a triggered ability that triggers whenever you cast any creature spell—not just a creature spell of that color.
  • Each Monument's triggered ability triggers as the creature spell is cast and resolves before that creature spell resolves. The ability will resolve even if that creature spell is countered.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, the triggered ability of Bontu's Monument causes the opposing team to lose 2 life and you gain 1 life.
  • To determine the total cost of a creature spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the creature remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

  • It only produces one mana even if the land can produce more than one.
  • The ability can be activated if the opponent has no lands that produce mana, but the effect will not be able to generate any mana.
  • This works even if the opponent's lands are tapped. It only checks what kinds of mana can be produced, not if the abilities that produce them are usable right now.
  • Fellwar Stone checks the effects of all mana-producing abilities of lands your opponents control, but it doesn't check their costs. For example, Vivid Crag has the ability "{T}, Remove a charge counter from Vivid Crag: Add one mana of any color." If an opponent controls Vivid Crag and you control Fellwar Stone, you can tap Fellwar Stone for any color of mana. It doesn't matter whether Vivid Crag has a charge counter on it, and it doesn't matter whether it's untapped.
  • Fellwar Stone doesn't care about any restrictions or riders your opponents' lands (such as Ancient Ziggurat or Hall of the Bandit Lord) put on the mana they produce. It just cares about colors of mana.
  • The colors of mana are white, blue, black, red, and green. Fellwar Stone can't be tapped for colorless mana, even if a land an opponent controls could produce colorless mana.
  • When determining what colors of mana your opponents' lands could produce, take into account any applicable replacement effects that would apply to those lands' mana abilities (such as Contamination's effect, for example). If there is more than one, consider them in any possible order.

  • If you don't put the top card of your library into your hand, you put it back on top of your library without revealing it. You'll draw it in that turn's draw step.
  • If you somehow control a Herald's Horn with no chosen creature type, no spells will cost less to cast, not even creature spells with no creature type. You'll be able to look at the top card of your library at the beginning of each of your upkeeps, but you can never put it into your hand this way, even if it's a creature card with no creature type.
  • The effect of Herald's Horn reduces only generic mana in a spell's cost. If that cost has no generic mana, the cost isn't reduced.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
  • You can't choose multiple creature types, such as "Cat Warrior." A Cat Warrior is both a Cat and a Warrior. It's affected by anything that affects either type and unaffected by things that affect non-Cat or non-Warrior creatures.
  • You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Cat. Card types such as "artifact" can't be chosen.

    As this artifact enters, choose a creature type. Creature spells you cast of the chosen type cost less to cast. At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top card of your library. If it's a creature card of the chosen type, you may reveal it and put it into your hand.

  • If Midnight Clock leaves the battlefield while its last ability is on the stack, it won't be exiled.
  • Midnight Clock's first triggered ability triggers at the beginning of each upkeep, not just your upkeep. In a Two-Headed Giant game, an ability that triggers at the beginning of each upkeep rather than each player's upkeep triggers only once during each team's upkeep.
  • Midnight Clock's last ability triggers after one or more counters are put onto it if it had fewer than twelve counters on it before those counters were put on it and it has twelve or more counters on it after.
  • You can activate Midnight Clock's mana ability to pay the cost of its second ability.
