well, eldrazi monument can really suck, unless you also have lifeline out. CAUTION: i played a game where my opponent had eldrazi monument and i had a creature that said "1U, tap: gain control of target artifact until end of turn" and so he had to sac, but only got the benefit half the time, so add something like priveleged position to this to prevent BAD stuff. kthx :]

You could use cards that give you a creature token at the beginning of your upkeep to better (and more cheaply) counteract the drawback of Eldrazi Monument.

Three cards I can think of off the top of my head are Awakening Zone, Goblin Assault and Varchild's War-Riders. The first two have converted mana cost 3 and generates one token per upkeep; the last one generates tokens as a cumulative upkeep and only has converted mana cost 2.

Varchild's War Riders doesn't combo with it. and the benefit of using lifeline is that if your opponent is making you sacrifice creatures, like with grave pact for example, then they come back anyways. sometimes one token per turn isnt good enough... although adding those token generators would make this combo even better. whats there not to like about indestructible tokens?! :]

EDIT: actually in a green deck, i would rather be playing awakening zone and tajuru preserver instead of lifeline. maybe. lol...

And you know, worse comes to worse, you can always add Doubling Season if you're playing a green deck. The only thing better than one free token is two.
