I've literally been testing this every day since the list came out 😂 I don't think it's too bad but 1 Beatrice does hurt and it cant play without going first
Sir, this version of extradeck Monarch is so far the best I have seen, great work on the stragergy. I also have been experimenting with Monarch the past couple days and the my version so far is Draitron Monarch, it is nothing much but I think you might want to check it. Since Ehther is a light fairly monster, there is alot of synergy with Draitron. My best combo line is Draitron Alpha plus Delta. Use Alpha effect to tribute Delta and search for Benten, then use Delta effect to tribute Benten and search Constellation, while searching for Archlord Crystia via Benten eff. After that ritual summon Benten and return Constellation back to hand by its own effect, then tribute summon Archlord Crystia over Benten and the remain Draitron, and search Ehther by Benten effect. The concept has worked so far, although it still suffer the "bricking" issuse. The deck have two advantages as being able to search both Ehther and Archlord easily while give out sufficient tribute folder, while still be able to use Domain at maximum efficiency since the extra deck is not required.
I don't remember the name of this monster, but it came out in ROTD with monarch stats, and it has a "change of heart" like effect when it's normal or special summoned. It combos really well with Eethier since instead of allowing your opponent to draw with Kuraz's pop effect, you can just take their best monster. If he returns to your hand, you can just normal summon him and take another monster. Such a good replacement for one copy of Kuraz.
Seleglare the Luminous Lunar Dragon* and yes you are correct, honestly, you can drop one kuraz and play on this instead, it is effect is pretty decent so yeah should give it a try !
I'm avoiding using Linkross-Fiber combo. It's like, it is going to get banned. It is like falling in love with the exchange student at college. U know she/he is leaving :(
Ester egg in that theme is that the whole tomb is actually Erebus's domain and erebus and eidos can be seen behind the gate on menu screen, glad you guys love the theme!
I really dig the new design, but I have to say that I think the sound effects might be a little loud, especially for phase transitions. It's just a bit distracting. Great video otherwise, I love ED Monarchs so much. Without Brilliant Fusion, the deck lacks a lot of power, and relying so heavily on both Isolde and Halq hurts a lot. Maybe something will release to make ED Monarchs more malleable soon, but I'd wager that anything that boosts the deck will likely boost another more recent deck more so. We can dream at least!
I see Lithium went in a similar direction for EDM as I did. I'm playing Plaguespreader instead with a Dragoon package since 1 or 2 negates with something like Vanity's or Ehther is not that bad. Savage Dragon in particular is easy to make with between Plaugue and Linkross tokens with Prime. I've also been playing with Garbage Lord since its tribute fodder, a tribute summon, and great for extending Link plays. Great vid Lithium.
There was a card that MBT used in his video on Monarchs that you might like, its Called "Seleglare" It bounces itself to steal a monster I think. But it can be summoned off of the Heavenly Monarch.
I've always been sort of perplexed why Monarchs were never played in the OCG when they have triple Maxx C. I thought Maxx C would be the perfect hand trap for Monarchs to play because it somewhat remedies their weakness to bricking. Given, I'm ignorant of the OCG meta, but I know they still play decks that special summon at least a few times in a turn.
I would sugest to replace one "Kuraz thr Lightmonarch" with a card named "Seleglare the shining moon dragon" Its a lvl 6 dragon monster with 2400 ATK and 1000 DEF and it has a quick effect that you can send itself back to the hand and then until the endphase you steal one monster your opponen controles with attack lower or equal to its own. Also you can just normal it without tributing. Its ATK and DEF then gets cut but you play it for that steal effect anyway. Its like a Stormforce you can bash your opponents teeth in with.
So, would you consider the one of March in the Domain variant? I think it's very strong in general since if you set up Domain + Vanity's/Majesty's with March turn one, it's very difficult for your opponent to blow it out unless they open Lightning Storm + Imp/Dark Ruler/Drop
@@Lithium2300 Sending it off Isolde as your equip isn't terrible, since it's just extra fodder for Prime. But I do agree that running better equips is just better.
The deck already has ways of dumping the cards into the grave with things like erabus and either and pantheism. I guess you could use it but it seems a bit unnecessary
My dream is to see domain monarch at 3 with extra deck that have ability to swarm the board with all cards in the extra deck so they can activate domain Edit: nvm, I just realized that Feed Back exist (in ocg), so I guess my dream did come true
i used to like ED monarchs during their time but with how the current meta looks like the extra benefit you get from having the options doesnt add up anymore... back then it used to be huge to get those few extra deck cards that are playable but currently they just do do much anymore, maybe one extra interuption here and there but compared to what you face its just laughable :( if you could build a strong board with the extradeck that would be different maybe but as it stands the domainlock version simply better equipped to deal with the format
I would try mystic mine on this just to make people cry, i mean mystic mine is a better version of domain, why not just running both on a domain version? Like... that would be hilarious
Shout-out to Ace for the SWEET backgrounds and skins! Feel free to check him out at: www.deviantart.com/ygoofficial
Much appreciated! :D
thoughts on this list imgur.com/RwtdUxr
Those backgrounds looks incredible tbh 👌
@@fusilier66 I know the combo, not sure on it's consistency tho :/
@@Lithium2300 yo, at 3:17 with stormforth u used just 1 monster to tribute ether instead of 2 how? Eldlitch wasnt tribute summoned
I agree that Domain is probably the way to go right now. But the real question is...when are we reviving BA Monarch? 😂
I've literally been testing this every day since the list came out 😂 I don't think it's too bad but 1 Beatrice does hurt and it cant play without going first
Cimoooooooo
Extra deck is superior.
Been testing monarchs since they got me back into the game 2017.
@@gungnir382 he won't. I asked him the other day on stream about his opinion and it was "the same as in 2016 its garbage"
quiet
@@MBTYuGiOh I figured you wouldve tried this of all yugitubers
This is remining me of the good old days where you would pump out like 5 frog monarch videos in a row.
When I saw Isolde tutoring out edea my jaw actually dropped. Holy shit that’s immense brain

When you help your opponent by shuffling a garnet back 1:22
0:52 oh boy, here comes the Tzolkin
0:53 oh, right, this isn't 2016 Lithium.

Just for the hell of it, we need to see a version of Frog Monarchs. Make it happen.
we asked, he delivered! love the content and loved the video lithium!
2nd Monarch deck profile, Lithium is really excited for this deck. Side note: Do you have a Dream Mirror video coming soon?
I saw that they were upadted early this morning, I might indeed ^_^
Lithium always plays Monarch in every event, is his favorite deck.
This took me back to better days. Back to the days where i felt that the game's pace was not too slow, neither too fast.
really dig the old school pc games' sfx
Yes this is what i wanted! Thank you!
still lost to infernoble ;)
Yooo, those sound effects and music from "Yugioh! Power of Chaos: Kaiba the Revenge" though? BIG thumbs up! :-)
I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER! I LOVE THIS MAN!
damn, I can only admire your build ma man
The return of the King(s)!

Your right! I 100% agree that Monarchs need a link monster.
Domain may be competitively more viable RIGHT NOW, but ED Monarch is still so much more fun and versatile
Try dogmatika monarch, is really interesting and i think that is more consistent than domain.
'.' I've been wanting to try that but not sure how to build it
What's your thoughts on Linkslayer? I think its excellent for going second and getting rid of backrow.
@@stallschula5431 That's exactly the point, its to bait backrow

Oooo is that Power of Chaos Kaiba background music I’m hearing?
Make a 2021 version of this deck?
I know this isn’t better than brilliant fusion, but what about playing the symphonic air guitar and mics engine
The only thing thats going to fix monarch is going to be new improved level6 monarchs.
Pantheism: to 3
Lithium: it's free real estate
Now all we need is chicken game and magical explosion back, and we could be rockin monarch ftk again
Saryuja might be worth running.
I think Odd-eyes Advance Dragon is overlooked.

You should try out the Symphonic Warrior Guitaar and Symphonic Warrior Miccs extra normal summon combo.
I knew this was coming !!! Awesom I would suggest cutting edea and eidos to 1 and also return to 1 and adding more hand traps
I think 2-2 is a must, their GY effects for the follow up turn is far too good.
Cloggyness is keeping me from running 3-2...
Also cutting the red layers and maxing out on QuickDraw
There was a card that MBT used in his video on Monarchs that you might like, its Called "Seleglare" It bounces itself to steal a monster I think. But it can be summoned off of the Heavenly Monarch.
The problem with seleg dragon is that it cant pop monarch continous, since you will need your ED so kuraz is better
You can use both actually, I recommend running both, that way your toolbox is more powerful. 1 kuraz and 1 Seleglare I think is good,
Have you considered MBTs teck of moonlight dragon (or smthn ) instead of kuras??
Guys what do you think are the best/most consistent draw engines/archetypes in the yugioh currently?
Have you tried using seleglare as Aether target? Seems to be better than kuraz.

Maybe use restoration of monarchs for the equip spell?
domain monarchs is only missing emergency teleport, huh?

By 3:17 when u used stormfronth u had only to tribute 1 monster for ether in enemy turn, why not 2 ? Eldlitch wasnt tribute summoned.
All mighty lithium can you share your sounds file in yugioh
I love gba yugioh sound effect so much
Why Don't you play the monarch equip spell.
Just why?
Bricky. Its better to play the monarch equip if your playing reasoning
It sux ^_^'
@@Lithium2300 Sending it off Isolde as your equip isn't terrible, since it's just extra fodder for Prime. But I do agree that running better equips is just better.
Storm forth aether still looks good maybe not as powerful but definitely good way to annoy your opponents
But he used at 3:17 stormforth to summon ether with tribute only 1 monster instead of 2 why?
@@Ehrle6969 idk didn't notice
BA monarchs would not be a bad option either with graff and cir at 2 it adds consistency just like people were doing in 2016
Jesus. I'm getting flashbacks to these decks.
You play alot of spells traps and some that you want im grave. How would magicians souls work in this version of deck?
The deck already has ways of dumping the cards into the grave with things like erabus and either and pantheism. I guess you could use it but it seems a bit unnecessary
Tzolkin AND Pantheism in the same deck?
*profusely sweats*
>sees same link combo in extra deck

Cheers.mp4
Still waiting on the eldlich build :(
And me who was wondering what were you up to these past days ...
Meanwhile our scientist was experimenting for his "monarchy"
Lets dig in ^_^
Dragon link next?
Have you considered running a non 15 card extra deck so after your shenanigans your extra deck is empty and your fieldspell is live
I'd go for 15, or a bit less with Mega Zaborg and/or Eater of Millions, the idea is cool..
True draco monarch?
Ignis heat has monarch stats and decent synergy.
Extra Deck Monarch is the ONLY fun version to play against!
How do you summon Pleiades?
2 prime monarch
Finally
Would chaos space help the deck?
To search what?
I don't care about the problem have monarch now, all I care is resolve 3 or 4 times panthéisme during the same turn.
This deck has alot of potential but brilliant fusion is gone I ran some kinda uni zombie monarch deck back in the day
My dream is to see domain monarch at 3 with extra deck that have ability to swarm the board with all cards in the extra deck so they can activate domain
Edit: nvm, I just realized that Feed Back exist (in ocg), so I guess my dream did come true
Monarchs have enough bricks for a huge wall between USA and Mexico ist
i used to like ED monarchs during their time but with how the current meta looks like the extra benefit you get from having the options doesnt add up anymore... back then it used to be huge to get those few extra deck cards that are playable but currently they just do do much anymore, maybe one extra interuption here and there but compared to what you face its just laughable :( if you could build a strong board with the extradeck that would be different maybe but as it stands the domainlock version simply better equipped to deal with the format
