Kolaghan Monument is a three-mana rock that taps for black or red and can animate into a 4/4 flying, haste Dragon when you need a body — the activated ability is the only reason to run it over a cheaper rock. At three mana with no enters-tapped clause, it's playable, but it's firmly a budget option rather than a first choice.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Kolaghan Monument sees essentially no play in competitive formats — Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have far better mana acceleration and don't want a three-mana rock with a clunky activated ability. Commander is its real home, specifically in Rakdos Dragon or Dragon-tribal builds where the Monument's creature type on activation and flying haste body carry marginal synergy value. Even there, Kolaghan Monument sits at the bottom of the ramp pecking order, edged out by two-mana rocks whenever the budget allows. Oathbreaker is a legal option but faces the same problem: faster formats punish slow rocks hard.

Price Context
Current price
$0.25 bulk tier
At $0.25, Kolaghan Monument is pure bulk — easy to acquire as a filler piece for a Dragon tribal build on a tight budget. Don't expect the price to move; supply is deep and demand is low, so it stays a throw-in.
