"Inspiring Statuary"3
Artifact (Rare)
Non-artifact spells you cast have improvise. (Your artifacts can help cast non-artifact spells.
Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for 1.)
Sweet!
edit: Moxthopter is looking better and better. Improvise might be broken.
When you consider that the card itself is an artifact and can be used to help cast non-artifact spells, it's almost a mana rock that taps for 1. That aside, I wonder just how many artifacts someone would have to play with to make this card worthwhile. My Commander plays a little over 20, but about half of those are already cards with tap abilities, and there isn't much sense in improvising my spells with Gilded Lotus. Still, this card may have potential.

I love this with Trophy Mage and the blue spell that searches for an artifact and puts it directly into play. I see potential in a consistent combo deck.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
That reminder text is kinda hilarious. "We heard you like non-artifacts, so here is an artifact to help your artifacts power your non-artifacts!" lol

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Nice. Gives something for puzzleknots and clues to do. And makes instants and flash even more fun.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice - Token Assault
Meren of Clan Nel Toth - Reanimator Value
Mizzix - Out of the Box Spellslinger
so wait a sec I pay 3 for this which is the going rate for a mana rock and all artifacts turn into mana rocks? isnt this worth it even with minimal artifact support. With just 4 traben inspectors and 4 tireless trackers this is fairly consistent ramp by 2 for 3. You dont even need to play actual artifacts so you can get full value. plus fabricate is a thing.
After Aether Revolt is released there are going to be a few different paths to take toward playing Paradoxical Outcome that didn't exist before. This monument will be one of them, but I honestly don't know that it will be any better than the current options, and as far as new paths to blaze, I want to see what a Sram, Senior Edificer deck with Bone Saw and Cathar's Shield looks like first.
That's a good way to look at it baseline, and we have several of those in standard collecting dust right now, so we definitely need a number of additional (preferrably 1-2 mana) artifacts to go along with it and some good payoff spell (If this just makes faster Emrakul's I'm going to go postal) to take advantage of the mana reduction. I do look forward to seeing what people come up with.
Can´t believe they printed this plus Paradox Engine and Whir of Invention in the same Set.
I cant remember when they gave us such a strong combo-setup in just a single set before.
Time to investigate on this seems like my two bestfriends could be of help again
By the way: if you´re interested in a discussion on Improvise as a strategy in the coming standard season, please do it here: How to improvise post AER...
Heck, maybe Rashmi, Eternities Crafter finally found a purpose in life. She's really better than she looks, just kaladesh didn't give a good way to use her. Now she finally might have a purpose in life by helping put more cards into play or at least giving draw power.
