tfw I don't have to type out an extra deck <3

The Structure Deck makes this deck playable because of the sheer amount of incredible support that the deck receives. The biggest one of these to mention is Idea. Idea allows you to get any of the Vassals from your Deck upon Normal or Special Summon, which allows you to get Eidos. Eidos allows you to perform an additional Normal Summon upon Normal or Special Summon, which ideally makes that Idea is a 1 card 2 tribute in the same turn that you summon him. This is especially relevant when you realize that Eidos can float back into Idea, which lets you search from something like Landrobe who can add Idea back to your hand when you tribute them.

Obviously no side deck because the main deck is still purely theory, but I'd imagine honourable shoutouts go to Archlord Kristya, Vanity's Fiend and Grisaille Prison

Lack of maindecked vanity's fiend seems odd, do the vassals really change that much?

I'm imagining that you end up Special Summoning a lot, but that's why you side Vanity. You could probably main it over either Caius or Raiza though.

 

Is running Dominion in here suboptimal?

Idea defeats the purposes of Dominion for the most part tbh. The no SSing effect isn't strong enough to warrant.

i dont really know a few of these cards but

is there any reason you arent running march of the monarchs?

 

March is situational at best. and it also clogs. Badly.

 

That said, I'd up Return to 2, but she doesn't have enough targets to warrant it, so 1 is fine right now.

It's probably better in the side tbh. I think it shuts you more in some matchups than others.

Speaking of, I'm not entirely sold with mained Zaborg. It's a complete blowout against Doll, BA, and R4 decks but against some other stuffs it's not that great. Even for online...still pretty unsure whether maining it would be worth it over mega caius.

Except it prevents the Vassal effects?

As well as the Monarch's effects?

You'd ideally summon it after you had a few other monsters out. Even if you don't, it does so much to hinder your opponent you probably wouldn't need to summon any other Monarchs or Vassals until they manage to get rid of him.

I don't know about it, save for Qliphorts, who can PS to provide easy fodder for their Tribute Summons and search their combo pieces mostly through Spell effects, most of the current meta is too reliant on monster effects to be able to function properly with Majesty out.

EDIT: Sorry for consecutive posting, I was expecting this and previous one to merge with each other. Thanks to mods for fixing that!

EDIT 2: Sorry for editing this post way too often, I was looking for the perfect reply XD

Testing has provided the following results:

  • Original Monarchs are not good here at all.
  • Both of the Godnarchs define the deck
  • One for One is necessary to help tutor out Idea
  • Reinforcement of the Army is overkill as a result
  • A lot of the Monarch S/T aren't that good
  • The only good Vassals are Eidos, Idea and Landrobe. The rest are terrible.

As a result, the following changes have happened:
- 2 Raiza

- 2 Caius

- 1 Mobius

- 1 Lucius

- 1 Mithra

- 1 Reinforcement of the Army

- 1 The Monarchs Stormforth

- 2 Erupt

- 2 Awaken

 

+ 1 Aither

+ 1 Erebus

+ 1 Mega Caius

+ 1 Mega Raiza

+ 1 Mega Mobius

+ 2 Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit

+ 1 One for One

+ 1 Strike of the Monarchs

+ 1 Return of the Monarchs

+ 1 Foolish Burial

+ 1 Raigeki

+ 1 Book of Moon

I don't see how this build can be consistent by using only the Mega and Godnarchs; could you explain me how does it work?

Idea is always 2 tributes and once you've successfully resolved one Tribute Summon, you're set up for Tributes for the rest of the game and there's nothing your opponent can really do to stop it.

But without any backrow, your monsters would be left completely vulnerable during your opponent's turn, specially since Aither's effect (the only that can be used during their turn) doesn't trigger the other Narchs' effects. If they get rid of your Narch, you'd have to fetch Idea again, and you would need either an Eidos in your Deck or a Stormforth in your hand, otherwise you'd be screwed. And if your opponent runs a lot of disruption cards and backrow, you'd run out of resources pretty quickly. I don't know, using the OG Narchs still sounds like the safest option to me... :/

Eidos's grave effect ensures fodder for almost the rest of the game since it revives Idea and Idea then fetches another Eidos/Landrobe from deck. You don't even have to worry about not having something to be tribute summoned due to Erebus's grave eff.

 

Koko, how much do the deck brick at the moment? That's probably the thing I'm concerned the most about the strat atm.

In that case, Burial from D.D. would be a nice tech to have in order to replenish your grave Eidos, isn't it?
