Instructions for playing Monarchs

Instructions for playing Monarchs

Let's build Monarchs Version 2023!!

Long time no see, one of the recent boxes, Zillion Thunder, gave us some pretty good Monarchs support cards. Many people open this box to get D Hero and accidentally also open Monarchs so no more lengthy, let's build and write a guild.

Monarchs is an archetype that appeared quite early in Duel Links, but perhaps only now can I build a deck that can compete with other decks. In the game Monarchs, there are now a total of 32 cards including: 14 Monarchs, 8 Vassals and Squires, 10 Spell/Trap... with those resources, perhaps this will be a potential deck.

    Send 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your hand to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; reveal 3 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards from your Deck, your opponent chooses 1 for you to add to your hand, and you shuffle the rest back into your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Pantheism of the Monarchs" once per turn.

    At the beginning of the Duel, add 3 "Pantheism of the Monarchs" to your Deck. The following effect can be used once per Duel on turn 4 and onward. Return 1 monster with 800 ATK/1000 DEF and 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your hand to your Deck, and then add 1 random monster with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck to your hand. This Skill can only be used/applied if you begin the Duel with a Deck (excluding Extra Deck) that contains 6 or more monsters with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF, and 6 or more "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards.


    Getting x3 Pantheism of the Monarchs cards is really fantastic! It does everything for this deck. Without exaggeration, without this skill Monarchs are almost unplayable.

    Skill's second effect does not seem to affect most matches, but it is still quite useful when allowing us to exchange 2 cards to give 1 Tribute Monster. The conditions to use the skill are not too heavy because after all we will only use more than 6 Monarchs and 6 Spell/Trap.

    You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned monster. If this card is Tribute Summoned: You can send 2 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards with different names from your hand and/or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, shuffle 1 card from your opponent's hand (at random), Graveyard, or their side of the field into the Deck. Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard: You can discard 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card, then target 1 monster in your Graveyard with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF; add it to your hand.

During your opponent's Main Phase, if this card is in your hand: You can banish 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard; immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon this card (this is a Quick Effect).


    Ehther the Heavenly Monarch is the main thing we use to disrupt and destroy the opponent's field (Main disruption) and we should play x2-3 copies of this card, mainly depending on how many Deck Size cards you want. Ehther's main target when special summoning is Kuraz the Light Monarch , it's best to play with 2 copies, but sometimes you can consider increasing the number to 3 copies because you will find you don't have enough for Ehther. Summon that Kuraze.

    Erebus the Underworld Monarch possesses the ability to remove cards from the strongest opponents in Yu-Gi-Oh with a non-targeting and non-destructive effect, also allowing us to reuse other Monarchs from the grave. . Like Ehther, x2-3 copies depending on how many cards are in your deck.

(You can only gain this effect once per turn.)

    If this card is in your hand: You can activate this effect; you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, also Special Summon this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Vassal Token" (Thunder-Type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 800/DEF 1000) to your opponent's field in Defense Position.

    If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck in Defense Position, except "Edea the Heavenly Squire", also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 of your banished "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards; add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Edea the Heavenly Squire" once per turn.

    If this card is in your hand: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, also Special Summon this card, and if you do, change that monster to face-down Defense Position. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can target 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF in your Graveyard, except "Landrobe the Rock Vassal"; add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Landrobe the Rock Vassal" once per turn.


    Edea the Heavenly Squire is the most important card in the deck and you always want the chance to see her on the first turn, providing a powerful Effect similar to Tour Guide, special summoning an Eidos the Underworld Squire directly from the deck of cards. In my opinion, I always play x3 Edea and x2-3 Eidos. As for the 2 Vassal, Mithra the Thunder Vassal and Landrobe the Rock Vassal are not necessary but provide both effects quite well and can be good alternatives for the deck (0-1x)

              Once per turn: You can target 2 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards in your Graveyard; shuffle them into the Deck, then draw 1 card. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 other "Monarch" Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Defense Position as a Normal Monster (Fairy-Type/LIGHT/Level 5/ATK 1000/DEF 2400). (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.) You can only use this effect of "The Prime Monarch" once per turn.


              R Rarity
              Return of the Monarchs
              R Rarity

The Tribute Summoned monster must be face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect. You can only use this effect of "Return of the Monarchs" once per turn.


                Tenacity of the Monarchs is our Searcher for all Spell/Trap Monarchs, and also the Banish material for The Prime Monarch ( always play the maximum allowed amount of both ).


                Escalation of the Monarchs is an extremely good card that helps us summon Erebus during the opponent's turn and gives us an additional Disruption ( always have at least 1 card in the deck ). Frost Blast of the Monarchs , March of the Monarchs and Return of the Monarchs mainly function as extra cards, they even have quite large limitations for themselves so they only play from 0-1x.

                2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the GY; until the end of this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the GY this way. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is sent to the GY: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" card in your GY, except this card; add it to your hand.


                Burning Abyss's key monsters like Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss and Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal are very good at milling decks to the grave. The Burning Abyss engine works extremely well with Monarchs, providing a resource-filled grave setup while still maintaining control on the field with a DANTE - Cir loop, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss acts as a tribute source for summon.


                Overall, the combination of Burning Abyss's Engine and Engine Monarch creates a versatile and resource-rich deck, it has been one of the best decks in the past in the TCG and now we can experience Experience in Duel Links.

                    Incorporating Engine Lightsworn into a deck like Monarch provides many benefits, including the ability to self-destroy cards and send Monarch Spells/Traps to the grave quickly, filling the graveyard with valuable resources. This activates the effects of Spell/Trap Monarchs, such as The Prime Monarch and Pantheism of the Monarchs.

                    Furthermore, Lightsworn also gives us the ability to summon rank 3 Xyz and level 7 Synchro monsters, expanding the deck's toolbox and providing more tactical options. The combination of Lightsworn and Monarch creates a deck that is more flexible than ever, excelling in resource management, grave utilization, and the ability to summon powerful monsters from the Extra deck.

                        Combining Orcust Engine with Monarch gives a lot of power instead of flexibility like Lightsworn: by providing more sacrificial material for summoning while almost ignoring the potential abilities caused by the limitation Special summon only for Dark-type monsters. Cards like Orcust Harp Horror can easily provide food to sacrifice to Monarch monsters: this Mix pair allows the player to maintain a constant stream of Tribute summons while overcoming limitations and also having the ability to freely Give your Engine a complete and powerful engine .

                            In fact, when we don't use any Engine and are limited or banned, we will immediately think of choosing cards that are limited to 1 to put in the deck and that choice is Reinforcement of the Army or One for One . You should prioritize ROTA if you want increased stability without any weaknesses as Edea the Heavenly Squire is our only real Starter. Meanwhile, One for One allows us to reach Edea without using a normal summon again, giving more maximum potential to our moves but at the cost of removing one other monsters, this can be a benefit or a loss depending on the starting hand.

                            Monarchs has difficulty in the game because it is a fairly ancient card model and needs all the support it can get to face modern decks. Because we don't have the Monarchs' key card: "Domain of the True Monarchs" yet, we have to use the Extra Deck to get more "harder" moves. Popular monsters in the ED like Galaxy or monsters that can harass opponents like Negate and Return are essential for Monarchs.



                            Knowledge to note

                            • Kuraz the Light Monarch can suffer from Miss timing
                            • You can destroy your own cards with Kuraz the Light Monarch for additional draws
                            • Many times you will want to destroy your Monarchs Spell/Trap so you can special summon from the Extra Deck when it prohibits you from Specializing from the ED (for example, the March of the Monarch card).
                            • March of the Monarchs prevents both of them from being targeted, so be careful of being crushed
                            • Ehther the Heavenly Monarch 's self-summoning effect can activate multiple times per turn
                            • Only the graveside effect of Pantheism of the Monarchs is one per turn
                            • Reveal 2 Tenacity of the Monarchs and 1 Monarchs Spell/Trap you want from Pantheism of the Monarchs' effect so you can be sure to get what you want
