I believe players can have an attachment to an archetype and the deck just seems to go over and beyond for them. Linthium2300 and his royal crusade is living proof.
I agree. Somehow i am able to play cubics so much better than most. Ive handed my own deck over after teaching others and they act like it’s unplayable but they just dont see the flow.
I don't even play Monarch that much, but every time you post a Monarch video I just have to click on it. There is just something magical about watching someone being a master of their craft.
I mean this is like one of lithium's best decks, almost his signature deck. Mbt tries his best to showcase tons of different decks so I don't mind him making some misplays. But yeah lithium is the undiscussed ruler of monarchs
Hey lithium!! I saw a cool variation of this deck running 3 small world, 2 kaiju gadarla, and 1 mystic mine. Seems very interesting, he won a few locals with it. Thoughts?
I have tried it in the past, didnt like it. Feels clunky because youre running multiples and the “brick”. Then again, apprentice Illusion is decent tho, but i think there are better options.
I definitely disagree with some of the choices in the build. i would go for a two/two ratio of edia and eidos so that you have four normal summons, and the rest would be extenders, aka 3 mithra and 2 proof and maybe 1 to 2 of the pendulum guy. of course, you can toy areoudn with the ratios. also playing like a 41 (worst case 42) card list doesnt seem that horrible considering that you will get to see different names in your opening hand. maybe you can even try triple tactics for the pot of greed effect now that you have multiple ways to tribute summon past your normal summon
Mmmm, I searched for a card with that characteristic but nothing... In liov at least, I think that u are talking about the flundereze continuous spell, that can let u send 1 card from the opponent field for a tribute summon
I'm wondering if they'll make "Re-Awakening of the Emperor" (Or in this case Re-Awakening of the Monarchs) from the manga someday. Would it be useful? Basically it was a Spell and its effect was to reactivate the effect of a 5 star or higher tribute monster.
Mmmm, but the spell target the monarch in gy? It's sounds good at least, that card and foolish can be nasty, but too dependant on a monster in gy, making it a potential brick
there's no situation where it would be helpful, the issue with monarchs is that you need a monster to tribute and monster to tribute summon. Levianeer does nothing for the deck because you need to be in a position where you have lots of monsters in the gy, i.e one where you are already winning. There's literally no first turn setup where you'll be able to get a Levianeer summoned.
Landrobe for a second focused monarch is really good, the book of moon plus a body to tribute is always a good thing, and also can recovery mithra and the other little ones
Does "Proof of Pruflas" stack on top of Mithra or Eidos and vice versa? Eidos and Mithra say "you can only gain this effect once per turn", but Pruflas does not have that clause. Is it a separate stackable effect?
@@Lithium2300 the reason I ask is because I was dueling on EDO pro and I had a situation where I special Mithra, Normal summon Proof, activated Proof effect to tribute summon immediately, and tributes both Proof and Mithra, I was still allowed to activate Mithra effect for an additional tribute.
Yes, u can tribute another time, because of the wording, if an effect says: inmediately after resolve, do a summon.. That doesn't count as ur normal/tribute, so u can perform up to 3 tribute summon in 1 turn, 1 for ur standard normal summon, 1 for eidos mithra (gain 1 tribute this turn), and another for pruflas
I still think Majesty's Fiend is better for consistency reasons and because it does something going second; DRNM into Majesty's Fiend can be quite big. Phantazmay also seems to be quite good in Monarchs. Also, Called by the Grave is probably better than Upstart or the fourth Fiend; Droll is pretty rough.
Ey lithium, yesterday i was theorycrafitng and testing amd came up with a version of extra deck monarchs that has 14 starters, its a 2 card combos but it can end in 2 negates plus monsters to tribute summon (yes it uses halq, but past turn 1 it plays just like ED monarchs of 2016) would you like to see it??
Is it true that uncamouflight (anchamoufrite) doesn't work correctly in the tcg due to its wording? I really hope not, I've been looking forward to this for months lol
Bro its the most powerful floodgate deck ever. The tradeoff for unlimited power is lowered consistency. Direct support would definitely break the deck. The only problem with monarchs is that the ratios require too many cards to be played at 3 to be searched off pantheism and it clogs the deck. The new pendulum is the perfect balance of additional consistency without modifying the engine and dooming us all to floodgate city
@@Adam-wt5id it has nothing with being broken it has a lot to do with money the deck is shitty going second even with support will still be inconsistent also its ez to side for and usually dies vs 1 handtrap also cannot play any handtraps whatsoever .
@@Aktheman77 bro the deck in genuinely bad. You just live and die by the floodgates. You either open with a lock in hand or you get interrupted trying to set it up and lose. Im not saying the deck is good, just that the floodgates are insanely oppressive
I hate playing against monarch at that time and I was playing shadoll and it was always a big headache playing against them, I win them more and lose some but it's not fun to play against them
"The best Monarch player in the world" wouldn't be playing 2x Edea and Eidos, only one Mithra, 2x Return and Pruflas. Seleglare is better than Kuraz, and that's a fact, and Lithium is not the best Monarch player, that's also a fact.

We all knew this video was gonna be coming out since you can't have Lithium2300 without Monarchs
I remember him at Euros 2013 playing Monarchs in Dragon Ruler format - good old times ;-;

Monarchs:
Jajajaja
Drytrons: I fear no man, but that thing (looks at Lithium with Monarchs), it scares me
Well anti-meta decks do
I'm a simple man. I see Monarchs I click. I always will.
Legit played this deck better than MBT
Lithium is on another plane of existence when piloting Monarchs, I'm not surprised.
I mean this is like one of lithium's best decks, almost his signature deck.
Mbt tries his best to showcase tons of different decks so I don't mind him making some misplays. But yeah lithium is the undiscussed ruler of monarchs
Mbt sucks LOL
I mean tbf Monarch is Lithium's undisputed best (and probably main) deck.
MBT only gets good at a deck if he puts effort into it.
MBT didnt even think about running Vanity
If monarch get a pre-prep kind of card to get a squire and a monarch then it could be decent
Imagine :o
"Decent"?? That'd instantly make it a tier 1 deck. The joy of not having to run 10+ big guys.
@@ninezerotwo1778 eh no. Deck still suck ass going second.
Game 1 the Zoo player makes Zeus and the game is more than likely over.

Love how y'all assume that he's just a bad player because there were misplays. Y'all telling me tht u never misplayed ever?
@@Torpedoman316 it wasn't only that he misplayed its that he had full zoo+tri combo and decided to end on revolt blossom game 1
I mean he had like droplet duster
Wow! You played around zeus pretty well without even needing a stormforth
Lithium = Best Monarch player ever to be born
Les goo
If you call of the haunted this card on your opponents turn, do you get the tribute effect since its special summoned?
The Monarch God returned with his best deck.
King of monarchs: you.
I love it when you play monarchs, it's my favourite deck and I think you like it as much as I do :)
This deck lives and dies by the ratios. MBT used 2016 ratios and was surprised when he ran himself into a chokepoint.
you are just ... something out of this world honestly ...
all these monarchs are ruled by one single monarch aka Lithium2300
Hey lithium!! I saw a cool variation of this deck running 3 small world, 2 kaiju gadarla, and 1 mystic mine. Seems very interesting, he won a few locals with it. Thoughts?
What do u think of magicans souls and the spellcaster monarch as an engine for tribute and to get clunky/duplicate spells out of hand
I have tried it in the past, didnt like it. Feels clunky because youre running multiples and the “brick”. Then again, apprentice Illusion is decent tho, but i think there are better options.

We waiting for the drytron video🙌
Dude I love your build of this deck if run something kinda similiar but idk if id add the pendulums
The new pend card is so good for monarch
Thoughts on using a card like Angel 01 to help with tribute fodder since you have to play so many level 8s?
Not good enough
@@Lithium2300 I know you're probably busy, but can you elaborate?
I would play just 1, cuz of the free special with a 8 monarch and being target for 1 for 1
There's also a new spell card in liov that is continuous and is the same as stormforth.
What spell?
@@DimenticatoPianto i don't know the name. I just saw a video on it.

Would a chaos monster like one Levianeer be good in this build? You run a lot of lights and darks, you can use the effect then tribute it.
Was thinking that to
The card would sit in your hand a lot of the times, seems like it would cause bricky hands.

Indeed, bricky 🥴
I forgot about the brick, honestly I rarely ever seen the brick but it would hit my opponents hard, I never played the deck.
Can you still normal or tribute summon after you use proof of pruflas effect to tribute summon after it is special summon?
Yes, it doesn't count as your standard summon, (nor ur +1 from eidos mithra)
What do you think of landrobe the earth vassal as a going second card?
Not that great 😅
Landrobe for a second focused monarch is really good, the book of moon plus a body to tribute is always a good thing, and also can recovery mithra and the other little ones
Does "Proof of Pruflas" stack on top of Mithra or Eidos and vice versa? Eidos and Mithra say "you can only gain this effect once per turn", but Pruflas does not have that clause. Is it a separate stackable effect?

It works right
Mh, no eruption or there can be only one? I think that the deck is more weak without locks other than domain
Me 2, I play both
but how do you go 2nd?
What about metaion timelord?
who pkays the trbrigade first game, he knows how the deck works?
So the tri link 4 can miss timing ? U did at lot of chain and he didnt banished nothing
Correct, i think the ruling here is that it needs to be face up to resolve. Not sure if thats the correct ruling for TCG also
Yes, if the monster is not in the zone where it trigger its effect, the effect don't activate, even with mandatory effect
Looks ideal as it can be, I just want to know how many takes you bricked XD and facepalmed

Erupt is terrible, and there is no room for more mithra because 2 2 edea and eidos is best.

Seleglare is better than Kuraz, and that's a fact, and Lithium is not the best Monarch player, that's also a fact.
