Monuments are 3 costing Legendary Artifacts that supports the creatures of their respective colors. A 1 cost reduction plus a bonus effect for playing any creature spell.
With Inspiring Statuary you can squeeze out for a colored creature a 3 cost reduction or 2 for two creatures of that color.
I'm finding Rhonas Monument the best at the moment for the +2/+2 trample boost. Seems easy to drop a fatty then follow up with cheap drops.
I do like the idea of combining a Monument with Statuary's improvise. The Monuments being legendary and both parts being 3cc artifacts makes me think it's probably too slow and vulnerable for competitive play.
Blue appeals to me most though thanks to both artifacts being tutorable by Trophy Mage. Running blue also gives you access to Padeem who can protect the artifacts and provide a card draw engine (plus having the perfect 3U cost which allows him to be curved out 3rd turn Monument/Statuary, 4th turn Monument/Statuary + improvise out Padeem).
I like the white one and the green one. Could tokens come back or at least be a fun fnm deck

Green one Cultivator of Blades. You can sink those +2/+2 boosts into it. Ridgescale Tusker for +3/+3 boost to one of your other creatures for that turn.

Actually, the triggers are on any creature spell. Bontu and Oketra (and yeah, Rhonas) are actually outright wincons in Animar EDH decks.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

You can run the token maker with cards that trigger when a creature enters the field. Mentor of the Meek for draw. Bramblewood Paragon makes them bears with trample. Mardu Woe-Reaper for graveyard control.
Red one Goblin Dark-Dwellers. You can pitch a spell it can play.
