I was a little disappointed that you didn’t really consider your signets’ impact on your colors–it seemed you only gave them a cursory thought (due to time?)

I think Basalt Monolith did not belong in the deck, as your colors, not the sheer quantity of mana, was the limiting factor for most of your spells. While it is great with Sphinx’s Revelation, it is only marginally useful in casting Bolas, Angel, Titan, Terminus or Chandra, as you were not very likely to have the right colors when the mana from Monolith would still count as acceleration.

For the card to replace the Basalt Monolith, I think I would have used the Palinchron or another land–Volrath’s Stronghold, and include a third Plains, cutting the Swamp. I would have probably built it with the Palinchron and Stronghold, I think the Stronghold and Plains would have been best.

While I appreciate Dudeguy’s enthusiasm for LED/Will and Basalt/Thrasher in the preceding post, I don’t think they fit with the deck’s strategy, and had the LED or Thrasher been drafted, it would probably been correct to leave them in the sideboard. It would have been reasonable to comment on during the draft. Regardless, I enjoy the pick discussions.
