#REDIRECT [[Monarch#Monarch Control]]
* "[[Kuraz the Light Monarch]]"
 
* "[[Mobius the Frost Monarch]]"
 
* "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]"
 
* "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]"
 
* "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]"
 
 
 
This Deck is based on tribute summoning your Monarchs with ease to activating there effects to easily control the field. A great card used in this deck is [[Fiend's Sanctuary]], which [[special summon]]s a [[token]] that can be used for a tribute summon. And of course the repeatable effect of [[Treeborn Frog]], can easily let you summon a monarch every turn.
 
 
 
There are three monsters in this deck that cant be destroyed by battle [[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]], [[Marshmallon]], and [[Spirit Reaper]] which make you vulnerable to piercing monsters.

=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. And now with the New Ban-list, Raiza the Storm Monarch is no longer restricted, giving this deck back some lost power.
 
 
 
'''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 a 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 Geartown, you bring a [[Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon]] and you also draw a card.
 
 
 
==Recommended Cards==
 
===Monster Cards===
 
* [[Dark Armed Dragon]]
 
* [[Jinzo]]
 
* [[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]
 
* [[Cyber Dragon]]
 
* [[Cyber Phoenix]]
 
* [[Cyber Valley]]
 
* [[Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive]]
 
* [[Black Salvo]]
 
* [[Nitro Synchron]]
 
* [[Mobius the Frost Monarch]]
 
* [[Kuraz the Light Monarch]] (works well combined with soul exchange for greater card advantage as kuraz cant attack the turn he is summoned anyway)
 
 
 
=Psychic Monarchs=
 
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.
 
 
 
=PsychoPlant Monarchs=
 
PsychoPlant Monarchs focuses on the cards like [[Seed of Deception]] and [[Emergency Teleport]] to generate [[Monarch]] tribute fodder. Cards like [[Dark Verger]] can help generate extra fodder for the next turn or even be used to [[Synchro Summon]]. This is based off of the Psychic Monarchs but sense [[Emergency Teleport]] is now limited [[Seed of Deception]] serves as your extra E-tele. [[Miracle Fertilizer]] can help you bring out more tribute fodder or just an all out beatstick if you prefer it. [[Graceful Revival]] can help revive more tribute fodder that was already used with [[Seed of Deception]]. This deck creates amazing advantage with quick and easy to summon [[Monarch]] beatsticks. Good thing about this Monarch deck can play plant defense cards like [[Wall of Thorns]] can even be your second or third [[Mirror Force]]. This deck does tend to use cards that have similar effects to add utilty to this [[Monarch]] deck.

=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.
