About Brood Monitor

Brood Monitor, Creature — eldrazi drone, designed by Izzy first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.61. It's a key card in 6 combos.

A deck that focuses on ramping up mana quickly or sacrificing creatures for value would benefit from including Brood Monitor. It can provide immediate board presence and mana acceleration with the Eldrazi Scion tokens it creates. However, in competitive play, cards like Primeval Titan or Avenger of Zendikar may offer better value for the mana cost, making Brood Monitor less likely to see play in top-tier decks unless in a specific Eldrazi tribal or sacrifice-themed strategy.

Rules

08/25/15

Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

08/25/15

Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.

08/25/15

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object’s color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

08/25/15

Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it’s just the new color, not that color and colorless.

08/25/15

Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t get any Eldrazi Scions.
