Price History
Description
Designed by artist Chippy, this rare artifact card has become a cornerstone for enthusiasts of the format's earliest eras. The card features a mana cost of {2} and possesses a mana value of 2, establishing its efficiency within the game's resource system. Mechanically, the Grim Monolith offers a unique trade-off for players. It does not untap during its controller's untap step, meaning it cannot be used immediately upon entry. However, by tapping it, a player can add three colorless mana to their pool. To reuse this powerful effect, the player must pay four mana to untap the artifact during their next turn. The Grim Monolith stands out as a high-impact card that defines the aggressive mana strategies of the late 1990s. Its presence in the 1999 release makes it a sought-after item for those building comprehensive collections of Magic: The Gathering artifacts., we provide a curated marketplace for these vintage trading cards. Whether you are completing a set of World Championship Decks cards or seeking a powerful artifact for your collection, the Grim Monolith represents a key piece of TCG history. The card's enduring legacy in the game's competitive and casual scenes ensures it remains a vital component for any serious collector's library.
