The Return of the King

The newest and latest in Monarchs!

And yes, I was watching Lord of the Rings quite recently.

I was quite at loss for the deck name.

Here were some that didnt make it:

Monarchy
虚無獅子黄泉フェイダースティーラー寒波ライダー帝.deck (KyomuShishiYomiFeidaStiilaKampaRaidaTei.deck)
ジャスト・ファッキング・邪帝・イット(Just. F-ing. Gaius. It.)

Unlike most monarch decks, this deck takes advantage of early game and generates, for the most part, its own Tribute Fodder.

The inclusion of Vanity Fiend is a rather personal choice.

In light of the Frog and Infernity meta, I feel that Testaros isnt quite enough in the additional slots.

Whilst it doesnt garner any advantage, nor does it let you continuously summon Monarchs, it does something Testaros cannot: Take ahold of tempo.

Testaros, forcing a discard, garners you not only card, but also partially information, as well as potentially tempo advantage.

However, it doesnt stop the opponent from going crazy the next turn.

Vanity Fiend does.

Whilst it does stop your own deck from going as fast as you want: You control this powerhouse of a card.

Also, Solemn Judgement can also be Dark Armed Dragon. Your call.

Other than that, I dont see much special stuff differing from other standard Monarch decks floating around.

Happy netdecking!

Thats all for today.

Until Next time: Just Gaius It.
