Why Play Oketra's Monument

Creature-heavy decks benefit enormously from both cost reduction and free tokens, making every creature spell a two-for-one trade. White weenie and token strategies particularly excel with Monument, as it accelerates your curve while building board presence simultaneously. The artifact shines in games where you can deploy multiple creatures per turn, effectively doubling your threat density while maintaining card advantage.

Format Notes

Commander represents Monument's strongest showing, where longer games and higher creature counts maximize both abilities consistently. Pioneer occasionally sees it in white-based creature decks, though the three-mana investment competes with other powerful options. Historic features it in token-based strategies, while Modern usage remains niche due to the format's higher power level and emphasis on early interaction.

Combos & Synergies

Cloudstone Curio creates infinite loops with cheap creatures, generating unlimited warrior tokens for explosive turns. Soul Warden effects like Soul's Attendant turn every creature spell into massive life gains, as you're gaining life from both the original creature and the warrior token. Mass token payoffs such as Cathars' Crusade or Intangible Virtue transform your growing army of 1/1s into legitimate threats that can quickly overwhelm opponents.
