Agian, a tough trampler is quite good in the early game.

Is it? How about a Virtue? Ever try an A3/E3 virtue when expanding? You can have that, dominion 7, and 320 points for scales/castle. A far better early SC, plus the lategame potential of any SC for less points. A third path at 3 (water, death, nature, whatever) leaves you with 200 points. Compare that to a bull which is going to cost the exact same to get your paths regardless of which you take, except that Nature isn't a common SC school, especially considering you already regenerate. The virtue has the same path choice, a powerful ability in awe, and FAR more lategame potential.

I invite you to play agianst me using a monolith sometime, just becouse you need to teleport to use it as an SC does not mean it isn't worth it

I can't find a comparable 40 path cost, 40 point pretender to argue this with that didn't suck, So I guess we're going to have to fire back with the Lady of Fortune. For 50 more points you can both move around and use 6 extra slots. Is that fair? Even if you think that's fine, consider the LOF's amazing special ability. If your plan is to throw up Astral Shield/Soul Vortex and cast away, you probably would be better off with a little defense value, which the LOF has in spades over the Monolith. If you intend on using direct spells, I point to the LOF's 8 more precision. Even when using foul vapors, the LOF can wear a PR ring and still have you beat by 5 item slots. Whatever you are up to with your monolith, I can almost guarantee you there's a better chassis out there.

Please remember... just because you can win with a chassis does not mean it's balanced. Remember the Vampire Queen? Lots of people beat them, but they were still too cheap. This is the same thing. Why is the Nataraja good? Because it's free. If it were 100 points it wouldn't be as good. But I can promise you one thing... if the Nataraja had been introduced at 100 points and someone posted that it should be free there would be a whole slew of Posts about how great Natarajas were and how they are well worth 100 points. Think about it... if the Great Mother was a 50 point pick would the game suddenly be flooded with Great Mothers? Probably not. It's a very limited chassis that would still be rarely used.
