philipk Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Monarch decks have been succesful (i don't know how) but yeah they suck titty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I am loling so hard at this thread. I remember not all that long ago when everybody was complaining about Monarchs the way they do about BW's and LS's. Then all of a sudden the less then three's died ( <3 for those who didn't get it). Its sad...At least they still have some sort of following remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Don't underestimate them... Not that i think they'll be great or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 No but people were acting like Monarchs only exist to be splashed. Pure monarchs is a perfectly viable decktype, though probably not going to be top 16ing any time soon unless someone figures out a great engine.

Manjoume Thunder Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Let's say this card existed. Monarch SacrificeQuick SpellDiscard 1 monster with "Monarch" in its name. Draw 2 cards. Then Monarchs will be runnable. Now...? No. Not much drawing power. This card will be horrid in Monarch decks.:S EDIT: Dandy is really bad in Monarchs. I recently started using him and pwning with him and then I realized that you can't tribute the tokens on the turn they are summoned. On the other hand, CyDra won't be that bad. I've seen quite a lot of Spies and Jujus this format. Also Treeborn isn't as good as people say. Last format I he was completely useless, but MOnarch players will probably change their playstyle to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Monarchs will be runnable. Now...? No. Not much drawing power. Generic Draw. Dekoichi, Reckless Greed, and the like. It speeds em up quite well. They're still slow, but definitely playable.

Manjoume Thunder Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 The draw engine won't make the deck faster. It will just allow you to run less Monarchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manjoume Thunder Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 They don't have a super broken combo that they need to get as fast as possible. Also even if you draw 20 cards in one turn, you will still have a maximum of one Monarch drop (unless you are bad and run Dual Summon). The only thing that you will gain from your draw engine is easier access to your monarchs so you can drop their number and decrease dead draws.

GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I see that draw card's primary benefit being able to recover from hands with too many monarchs in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjoume Thunder Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 The only one that can do that is Allure. Unless your are talking about the -1 Generic draws, which are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 No I mean the theoretical d-draw for monarchs we were talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth_The_Legend Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 they need something more like this... Discard 1 card. As long as this remains face-up on the field' date=' all Tribute monsters can be Normal Summoned with 1 less Tribute. All monsters Normal Summoned this was are treated as if they were Tribute Summoned. Only this card's controller can use this effect.[/quote'] not sure if that would make a difference but certainly would make a hand of monarchs more useful than waiting for tribute fodder.

GenzoTheHarpist Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 That would be interesting to say the least. It shouldn't be a field, though. One of the general things about fields is that they effect both players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth_The_Legend Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 eh, Skyscraper 2 would like to have a word.but perhaps a continuous spell might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Mausoleum is good or anything, but you get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leturn Master Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was thinking:--------------Continuous Spell/Trap Decreases the level of 1 monster in your hand by 2, once per turn. Requires an activation fee and/or some upkeep. Some LP cost, a discard, or something like that.--------------- Maybe a Continuous Spell Card: "When a card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon, you can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field with [insert drawback here]."

The first card you brought up would cause them to be no longer Tribute Summoned, therefore they would not get their effects (Except Kuraz). The other card to Special Summon the monster you used as the tribute would be neat to abuse Sangan or something lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
