Jeskai Monument

A two-mana artifact that fetches only basics belongs to an old lineage: fixing that fixes itself, a rock that finds its own downstream color rather than tapping for it. What separates this one from the Chromatic Star family is that it never taps for mana at all. On arrival it grabs a basic Island, Mountain, or Plains straight to hand, guaranteeing your land drop and the exact color you were short on while thinning the deck by one. That is fixing and consistency, not acceleration; the land still has to come down under your own steam. The sacrifice mode is what it graduates into once mana stops being the problem, and it is deliberately expensive and slow: four mana across three colors, tap, sacrifice, sorcery-speed only, for two flying bodies. The cost is the honesty. A two-mana artifact that both smoothed your mana and built an evasive board without a serious tax would warp everything it touched, so it asks you to spend early on the fixing and late on the payoff, and to have assembled Jeskai's full color spread before the tokens ever arrive. It does one job well on the second turn and holds a different job in reserve, a cleaner arrangement than most cards that strain to stay relevant across the whole game.
