Run 3 celestial observatory. Works with the level 6 as well as level 8 with domain effect. Run 2 Mana dragon zirnitron. It can be decked with observatory, protects your domain and back row, and its a special summon for tribute fodder.
I like playing one Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair. It's a free summon, non targetable 3k monster that floats. Thanks to most of the deck being dark.
Considering the way this deck plays, I find it better to run free summons that can work before the tribute summon (e.g. Kaiser Vorse Raider), if you draw Diabolos and another monarch with no way to access Edea or at least Eidos, Diabolos is a dead card.
nice lst, might test it out sometime. also why arent there any old school decks like blue eyes or the shittier version aka red eyes on this channel yet
Also, Mithra is a tech card potentially worth siding (or maining, depending on the type of event in question) since it gives the opponent a token, making it efficient against Sky Strikers.
It is bad in my opinion, sure it can unbrick you by sending pantheism but 3 can lead to hand where you draw 2 of the goods. So I guess 2 is fine, you will only barely see 2 of it and that's what you want basically. Btw I run only one in my version and I don't rely on it that much, it helps sometimes but that's it
@@jeanv.229 running 3 Brilliant Fusion can lead to a hand where you draw 2 Brilliant, would you avoid running 3 Brilliant for that reason? (Yes I know 🙃 it's limited now, for argument's sake tho)
True Monarch if you run 2 brilliant then the ratio between useful stuff/brick is 2:1 which looks quite risky. That’s why 3:1 is already more interesting. I think this reasoning isn’t applying to goods since it doesn’t involve playing a bricky card
@@jeanv.229 Makes sense, my bad. That aside, it may brick in a small percentage of cases, but in all other cases it's godly, it's practically a wild card, it can get you a Tenacity, Return or Domain (and then Tenacity can get you whatever S/T you need). If Pantheism is already in grave, you can mill a Prime for tribute fodder, a S/T to banish with Ehther, the list goes on.
True Monarch still wouldn’t play more than 2, would rather add draw engine instead Plus you’re already playing 4 pantheism (1 panthe + 3 tenacity + not counting the mills of monarch). So in my opinion more bricky at 3 than anything else
Not a big fan of Celestial Observatory honestly, you only have 3 level 6s in the deck and whatever you make level 6 with Domain is what you plan to summon, so you wouldn't shuffle it with Observatory either.
nice deck. I'm just coming back to the game for the first time in a few years, and still need to feel out how the 'new' monarch deck plays. not sure what you'd take out, but what do you think about 1-2 BLS and 2-3 trade-in? would that conflict with anything?
DLH112 I've considered BLS before, but bricks are a problem in this deck so I'd refrain from running such cards, at least while Pantheism is at 1. As for Trade-In, I've tried it before but eventually found Allure to be the only compatible draw card in this deck, you can't play Desires either cuz you got a bunch of important one-ofs. I appreciate the input though 👍🏻 hope you enjoy playing the game again!
True Monarch dw dealings or pot of duality or dichotomy? They're pretty good, I'm running red-eyes mainly atm but wanna make a lair of monarchs kinda thing, any suggestions?
Arirezz Dealings MAYBE but Duality I don't think would work, you need to special summon Eidos with Edea, Prime, Kaiser Vorse Raider, Edea with One for One, it works and doesn't interfere with your plays in some situations but those situations aren't frequent enough to play Duality, at least in my opinion. As for the Lair Monarchs deck, I personally haven't tried building anything of the sort cuz I mostly like it pure. It might work, though there isn't much synergy between the two cuz you can't tribute your opponent's monsters with Lair for a tribute summon. Both halves of the deck work great on their own but you need to see enough of each in your opening hand to go off properly, though in Monarchs you typically need all 5 cards of your hand to go off. So honestly I would stick to playing them pure.
Thomas Qin I used to play 3 in main, but on the long run I found that the deck is more consistent without it. All the Monarchs in the deck (2400/1000 or 2800/1000) are very needed. So if I were to add 3, I would have to remove the 2 Kaisers and maybe one Eidos I suppose, in which case the high levels outweigh the tribute fodder. Plus Majesty is searchable, so it usually does the trick.
Worth a try, though I personally doubt it. You need Kaiser cuz it works as both tribute fodder and monster to tribute summon which is significantly more consistent. Kaiser is also a free summon, Gorz's effect is cool, but just not worth the consistency and utility that Kaiser provides.
The card is awesome and can easily win you games, but Majesty (who's searchable unlike Vanity) can win you games quite as easily. I've been working on this build for about a year now, and I found it better and more consistent to just cut Vanity. Plus you will have to remove Kaisers and 1 Eidos for 3 Vanity, in which case the big monsters outweigh the tribute fodder.
The deck is pretty effective if it goes off, but that's a big if. Usually handtrapping the right card can end a Monarch turn, and bricks are an issue, I suppose it can be viable, but you need to properly master the deck and have the heart of the cards on your side 😬

i recently watched a lot of monarch deck profiles. Thank you for explaining everything. this was very helpful

@@gioplazo The idea is that they're stuck with it and you just filled one of their main monster zones, shutting down all their spells.
The 3 foolish goods is a very interesting choice, i haven't seen it anywhere else!

Weird I didn’t see a vanity’s fiend in your deck

True Monarch sweet as thanks for the tips!
I know Vanity's Fiend isn't searchable, but why not run it if you're running Allure of Darkness?

Can I use the 2 Gorz in exchange of the 2 Kaiser??
Worth a try, though I personally doubt it. You need Kaiser cuz it works as both tribute fodder and monster to tribute summon which is significantly more consistent. Kaiser is also a free summon, Gorz's effect is cool, but just not worth the consistency and utility that Kaiser provides.
Link Slayer > Vorse
Take that in mind
I considered playing Link Slayer, but wanted to have more Dark monsters for Allure
Good
vanitys not worth? 🤔

@@truemonarch3708 yeah, vanitys stresses me out with its 1200 defense 🤦♂️
Can this deck be competitive with this meta?
The deck is pretty effective if it goes off, but that's a big if. Usually handtrapping the right card can end a Monarch turn, and bricks are an issue, I suppose it can be viable, but you need to properly master the deck and have the heart of the cards on your side 😬
i think you relay tooo much on magic cards, i would cut some magics to add some traps
This is just how Monarchs work I guess, the more relevant cards in the deck happen to be spells.
