A Monarch Control Deck revolves around using the following Monarch cards:
- Kuraz the Light Monarch
- Mobius the Frost Monarch
- Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
- Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
- Raiza the Storm Monarch
- Caius the Shadow Monarch
The focus of a Monarch Control deck is to utilize the effects of the Monarch cards (Zaborg, Mobius, Thestalos, Granmarg and Raiza) to gain card advantage over the opponent. These decks use many strategies to ensure that the opponent is losing more cards than they are. Some of these strategies include: reviving tribute material (Treeborn Frog, and a side deck D.D. Survivor), utilizing Recruiter monsters and gaining control of the opponent's monsters for use as tribute material (via Brain Control or Soul Exchange).
While a very powerful deck types ever since their release, Monarch decks (due to high amounts of problems from Chaos Decks) have not truly made a game changing impact until September 2006, when "Chaos Sorcerer" was banned from competitive play. However, Monarch Control successfully dominated the North American metagame for the duration of the format but is now less popular since Raiza was Limited in the new banlist, leaving the Monarchs weaker and incapable to compete with DAD and DDT decks.
