Manjoume Thunder Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 So with Raiza and Breaker @3 and a slower format, Monarchs will surely make a comeback. So the side decks must have something to counter them. So lets compare different side deck options. Pulling the RugIt negates there effects and destroys them. It also works against cards like Gadgets and Wanghu. This is the best option for me. InterceptIt works mainly against Monarchs, 'cause other 1-Tribute monster are hardly seen. Unlike Pulling the Rug it doesn't negate the effect, but you are rewarded with a 2.4k ATK beatstick. Mask of RestrictIt completely cancels your opponent's Monacrhs, but I prefer Pulling and Intercept, because they get rid of the Monarchs instead of making them wait in the hand, 'till this card is destroyed, which is not that hard with 3x Breaker and Trapeaterman Zombie WorldJust like Mask, but it's immune to trapeaterman and gives some minor bonus to zombies. It's also searchable. By the Order of the EmperorI am not going to comment this one :D Well this is my try at making a good discussion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnkoMaun Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Pulling the Rug: This one could work. As you said, you can side it against other things too. Intercept: This one looks like the best out of all of them, but can't the opponent activate it's effects anyway? Like, if it's Raiza, it could save itself by returning it to the deck. (they wouldn't care if they had a recycling tribute fodder, right?) But it looks like it was built for monarchs, even raiza's in the pic. Mask of Restrict:Unusable b/c exactly what you said. Zombie World: Perhaps at Zombies only? By Order of the Emperor: Uh, no. Strange that it's in the The Dark Emperor structure deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Sir Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Pulling the rug looks like the best option, considering you can also destroy Breaker with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I played Zombie Monarchs at the Nationals (old variant only mained 2 Caius/2 Raiza). First game of a match against an LS deck, I lost quickly on bad draws and all he saw was Cyber Dragon and Treeborn Frog, so he assumed I was running pure Monarchs and sided Zombie Worlds against me. Such irony could not have been sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow™ Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I like Pulling the Rug and I have it so yay. It's also more splashable than the others so it doesn't slow you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Pulling the Rug and Zombie World are the only ones that are playable here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Pulling the Rug is best with Zombie World right behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Pulling the Rug is just win. It's versatility makes it sideable against Monarchs and Gadgets, so I'll go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanAtlus Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Chainable Traps can be used against Raiza, Caius and Mobius, the three most common-played Monarchs. Then in your Turn, you can destroy them with Spells.That's how I deal with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
