| − | A '''Monarch Control Deck''' utilizes the [[effect]]s of the following [[Monarchs|monarch]] cards:
| + | #REDIRECT [[Monarch#Monarch Control]] |
| − | * "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Kuraz the Light Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Mobius the Frost Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Granmarg the Rock Monarch]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]"
| |
| − | | |
| − | The focus of a Monarch Control deck is to utilize the [[effect]]s of the [[Monarchs|Monarch]] cards 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]]"), utilizing [[Recruiter]] monsters and gaining control of the opponent's [[Monster Cards|monsters]] for use as tribute material (via "[[Brain Control]]" or "[[Soul Exchange]]").

| − | A very powerful deck type ever since their release, Monarch decks (due to high amounts of problems from [[Chaos Deck]]s) 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 the Storm Monarch|Raiza]]" was [[Limited]] in the new banlist, leaving the [[Monarchs]] weaker and incapable to compete with "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]", "[[Gladiator Beasts]]" and "[[Lightsworns]]" decks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the new March 2009 banlist, the [[Semi-Limited|semi-limiting]] of "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch|Raiza]]" allows Monarch decks to regain a stronghold in the metagame, especially as "Tele-DAD", "[[Gladiator Beasts]]" and "[[Zombie]]s" have become much less effective.

| − | =Apprentice Monarch=
| |
| − | An alternative to a '''Monarch Control Deck''' is an '''Apprentice Monarch Deck''', which uses cards like "[[Apprentice Magician]]", "[[Crystal Seer]]" and "[[Old Vindictive Magician]]" to gain the upper hand in a [[duel]]. "[[Old Vindictive Magician]]" [[destroy]]s your opponent's [[Monster Cards|monsters]] and "[[Crystal Seer]]" gives you extra cards, giving you more strategies to play with. "[[Apprentice Magician]]" summons those [[Monster Cards|monsters]] in the [[Damage Step]] when your opponent can't do much about it. These [[Monster Cards|monsters]] are also very good tribute materials for [[Monarchs]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are many options to support the [[Monarchs]]; it really just depends on what works for those playing Monarch decks. However, the "[[Treeborn Frog]]" method seems to work the best, since you waste less resources to [[summon]] the [[Monarchs]].

| − | =Macro Monarch=
| |
| − | Another alternative that is becoming popular is the '''Macro Monarch Deck'''. It is the most efficient Monarch type deck, and most effective against the current meta.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Macro Monarch Decks''' are extremely effective against [[Graveyard|graveyard]]-based Decks, such as "Tele-DAD", since they completely eliminate the [[Graveyard]] and can take advantage of the situation to revive tribute material to keep [[summon]]ing [[Monarchs]].
| |
| − | This deck is also good against a [[Lightsworns Deck|lightsworn deck]], if cards are sent to the [[Graveyard]] by the [[effect]] of [[Lightsworns|lightsworn]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]], they will be [[removed from play]] instead.

| − | =Machine Monarch=
| |
| − | This Deck is kinda mix of Machine and Monarchs, often using Jinzo instead of the other Monarchs, together with Caius and [[Dark Armed Dragon]]. This deck also revolves arround geartown and the spell/trap destruction power of Mobius. A great strategy is to tribute summon Kuraz and destroy gear town, you bring a gadjiltron dragon and you also draw a card.

| |
| − | Since release of '''"[[The Duelist Genesis]]"''' booster, there has been a new Monarch deck called '''Psychic Monarchs'''. Cards like "[[Krebons]]" and "[[Psychic Commander]]" stall with their [[effect]]s, then you can [[tribute]] them for a [[Monarchs|Monarch]] or use them for a [[Synchro Summon]]. "[[Emergency Teleport]]" helps search both [[Monster Cards|monsters]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, with the March 2009 banlist and "[[Emergency Teleport]]'s" [[Limited|limiting]], this deck has become less effective.

| − | =Perfect Circle Monarch=
| |
| − | | |
| − | This deck uses the Destiny Hero engine to get an advantage in their game, but with the banning of [[Destiny Hero - Disk Commander]], it has become less effective. These are [[Graveyard|graveyard]] based decks that can easily bring out a level 8 Synchro Monster or draw cards.
