| + | A '''Monarch Control Deck''' revolves around using the following Monarch cards: | ||
| + | * [[Granmarg the Rock Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Mobius the Frost Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Raiza the Storm Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Caius the Shadow Monarch]] | ||
| + | * [[Kuraz the Light Monarch]] | ||
| + | The focus of a Monarch Control deck is to utilize the effects of the Monarch cards (Zaborg, Mobius, Thestalos, Granmarg, Raiza, and Caius) 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 monsters for use as tribute material (via [[Brain Control]] or [[Soul Exchange]]). You can combine Monarchs with [[Reshef the Dark Being]] because you can in one turn [[Ritual Summon]] him and [[discard]] [[Spell Card]] to take control of your opponent`s [[monster]]. This effect is more effective, because you can take [[face-down]] monster | ||

| + | 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 [[Dark Armed Dragon]], [[Gladiator Beasts]] and [[Lightsworns]] decks. | ||

| + | A '''Soul Control Deck''' is essentially a Monarch Control Deck that focuses heavily on taking control of the opponent's monsters with cards like [[Brain Control]] and [[Soul Exchange]] and then tributing them to [[Tribute Summon]] [[Monarchs]], thus generating advantage and clearing the opponent's field. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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]] lets you destroy your opponent's monsters and [[Crystal Seer]] gives you extra cards, giving you more strategies to play with. [[Apprentice Magician]] summons those monsters in the damage step when your opponent can't do much about it. These little monsters are also very good tribute materials for Monarchs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Another alternative that is becoming popular is the '''Macro Monarch Deck''', which uses cards like [[Macro Cosmos]] and [[Dimensional Fissure]] together with [[D.D. Survivor]] and [[D.D. Scout Plane]]. Because these cards can return to the field when removed from the field, they make good tributes for Monarchs. This deck has become more popular with the release of [[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There also exists a cross between Volcanics and Monarchs called '''Volcanic Monarchs'''. Volcanic Monarchs achieves hand advantage while destroying opponents' cards. To achieve this goal, a Volcanic Monarch player would use [[Volcanic Shell|Volcanic Shells]] with [[Blaze Accelerator]] to destroy monsters on the field. [[Volcanic Rocket]] is used to search out [[Blaze Accelerator]], while [[Pot of Avarice]] and [[Royal Firestorm Guards]] are used to recycle [[Volcanic Shell|Volcanic Shells]]. [[Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch]] is used to maintain hand advantage over your opponent. This deck was very popular for a short amount of time, but has fallen by the wayside ever since. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since The Duelist Genesis came out, there has been a new Monarch deck called '''Psychic Monarchs'''. The new Psychic monsters play a role. Cards like [[Krebons]] and [[Psychic Commander]] stall with their effects. A new card called [[Emergency Teleport]] will aid in this deck. It will surprise your opponent and aid tributing for a Monarch. [[Emergency Teleport]] will also aid the user to use the card [[Crush Card Virus]] faster. | ||
