@@Nuck_Chorris69the issue with Rank 5 Monarchs is you need brilliant fusion and I think a main Bystial or Kash Package is sort of mandatory now and a deck full of lv5/6/7/8 monsters doesn't lend itself well to XYZ spam Also also that style if Monarchs isn't good enough sadly. I wish the new Monarchs were 2800/1000 instead of the scuffed 3000/1200 and instead of the built in stormforths requiring you had a tribute summoned monster it just inherently had a built in stormforth so that monarchs could go back to their roots as generic going second board breaking machines.
The major advantage of playing any rogue strategy is the surprise value, which can be influential in almost any event. "Lithium" is a historian of the game who gave a memorable lesson to a young duelist.
What lesson? That floodgate/stun beats any meta decks and a duelist should have that one bad day? Don't get me wrong I really like Lithium and his dedication to Monarchs.
25:14 Lithium couldn't have summoned Anchamoufrite from the Extra Deck that turn because he played Stormforth. You can only play the spell card if you haven't performed a summon from the ED during the whole turn, it doesn't prevent you from summoning from the ED only after you play it.
Before any of the MD updates I was mulling around at the top of Plat with Domain Monarch… hardest match up was Eldlich and right now, it will give most of the meta some grief. Going second with it sucks a bit… but it’s not unrecoverable. 🤷🏽♂️
That branded chimera player literally had an easy free win but I guess he was really stressed 7:36 Instead if ending turn, he could have kaiju the monarch and then he could do all the extra deck stuff thanks to the baphomet he manaed to resolve. Opponent has another ether in hand? Well triple talent was added from pot of prosperity and doesn't target 10:04 seeing how the monarch pick up all his card I can guess that face down spell was actually a monarch storm forth which wouldn't even be an issue to begin with 19:26 Why would he even summon fenrir in def, why not crash it into majesty fiend? He literally searched mirror swordknight last turn which means he would get a massive card advantage in mp2. Hand trap shouldn't have been an issue considering that crossout he got in hand gotta mean something. I m going to attribute this lose to the stress and fatigue but otherwise, he shouldn't have lost.
The clip from 19:26 is where Rene was legit thought of scared of Honest because Majesty is a LIGHT. But at the same time as the commentary team mentioned that which everybody must remember: Majesty's Fiend applies to BOTH players and it doesn't care where about no monster effects to activate. It was pretty much the reason why Specialing the Fenrir in Defense mode. Rene was actually under pressure about Majesty's Fiend let alone there wasn't much he can do. Otherwise, everything else was on point.
I dont think a bystial monarch deck is possible but the sinergies do exist. Branded regained gives a lot of grind game to monarch, the bystial package can bait lots of handtraps
God I hate that Chimera Branded could have won that at so many points and didn’t apply enough pressure for the Monarch player to crack under the stress
the branded chimera player clearly misplayed massively, but given how stressful it is on a featured match cant blame him. branded chimera should beat monarch 9 out of 10 times. since monarch loses to itself half of the time by drawing brick hands or most times one ash is enough to end their turn. just so happened that chimera players misplayed bad and his opponent draw god hands back to back
If he Ashed Anchamoufrite, Lithium may still have had both Pantheism and Prime Monarch in hand. If he Ashed Pantheism instead, Prime Monarch would still have been sent to the GY and Lithium could still search using Pantheism
Monarchs, gotta love em. At least, I love them more than all the plagues that we currently have in meta. At least seeing Monarchs do this is actually enjoyable.
i personally love the current meta. Cant see what u call a plague. And personally i dont feel like domain monarchs is much fun to play with or against either… If you brick you lose instantly and if not its kinda boring
@@SmaashingCards exactly that our turn is great, as it is not a singleplayer game! Interaction is what makes it fun and skill based! Also the current meta rly is not about omni negates and combo decks
if the ycs is in ur local area i think its cool to play on a rogue level… better than not participating at all. Also in a feature u might miss some obvious stuff due to being nervous
@@jimthekidd bro, there's hundreds of archetypes in this game. I can't blame someone for either not knowing or not refreshing himself on what Monarchs do. If i showed up playing Insects or Umi Control, you would read every card too.
@@four-en-tee No I wouldn't lol. I get there's plenty of people who just read only the top decks etc but that doesn't account for the lack of understanding basic mechanics/rulings. Even if you don't know the cards you should know how interactions work.

Qualcuno sa dove posso trovare la deck list di sto steven? 😊
It's more like he is based because he is playing worse stun than lets say. floodagte lab or floodagte runick.

As u said he was probably under a ton of stress, he was playing against a deck he probably never saw in his life at a YCS while being streamed.
It's certainly not fatigue. This was only round 2.
@@therobotchickenMLP Stress and fatigue are 2 different things but both can make you take bad decisions.

homie lost solely bc he plays his cards upside down
kinda want the monarch list

Monarchs are the Spanish inquisition. No one expects them...
Does anyone know what deck Steven is using? I mean, every card. I meant to try it on Master Duels
Check out "Lithium2300 Domain Monarchs MD" it's the same guy and he explains the deck/matchups
Wait is this the same guy commentating for pokemon go?
So does Lithium win in other match？Anymore Monarch deck broadcast？
This was his only feature match so the only video but he went 7-3 in the tournament.

Why didn’t he use the kaiju game 1??? It would have outed the whole board
100% they probably thought a kaiju summoned by tributing a monster counted as "tribute summoned"
Imagine not knowing Yugioh well for tournament
Also G2 when he not crashing Fenrir to Majesty's Fiend
At a ycs not knowing basic mechanics
