      I agree.TTT is definitely better than allure because it's more versatile. If you manage to TTT and summon Erebus, you've returned 2 cards from your opponent's hand back to the deck, have knowledge of your opponent's hand and they start their turn with 2 less cards.

    Main Deck:
    • -2 Allure, -1 Druiswurm, +3 TTT - None of the DARK monsters are cards you want to banish; they either lock or interrupt, so Allure is low value there. TTT also lets us draw, but it can also take control and check the hand; all these effects are fantastic right now, and it makes the deck much better going second.
    • I'd personally run Called by the Grave over Upstart; it's very nice going first and second and makes the Spright matchup a little better.
    Side Deck:
    • 3 Mystic Mine: Terrific going second card as it pretty much forces an interaction and Monarchs can easily play with 2 monsters. Also, if they use S/T removal on Mine, then Domain is a little safer.
    • 3 Dark Ruler No More: Spright cares little about the Bystials and you need a way to deal with Toad boards efficiently. It is vulnerable to EEV but I feel like if people are still siding that, and they see it, it's an L you gotta take.
    • 1 Pankratops: Great going second into Spright as it deals with Toad + Elf, works alongside Fenrir, and it's just another body. Forces backrow, too.
    • 2 Majesty's Fiend: I'd almost say to just main deck those over Vanity's considering they tend to cover more ground, but this works. I'd side them because Floo is a deck and you need tools to beat that.
    • 3 Solemn Judgment: It stops anything that threatens the setup.
    • 3 Lightning Storm: Mass removal is always quite solid.

  • @Alexand331er
    @Alexand331er 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    A lot of comments on removing CoH. I’ll make the counter point that since Ishizu Tear has the potential to play during your turn 1, cards like Mind Control and Change of Heart will be much better main deck stables as it will likely be live Turn 1 (also Bystial on your turn 1 is common as well). Probably replace the two allure for two Tactics as Bystial and Ishizu Tear will be rather common which should hopefully make Tactics live in most games.

    I LOVE this list! if there a better time for Monarch to top it will be in this format! since the handtraps are not populair at all!
    my question however is, what is your Mine out ? you either add 1 cosmic OR that continuous spell that floowander have, you can tribute mine for your monarchs! that card is really underrated imo.
    drop the upstart for it maybe ?
    anyway, excellent list! side deck will be tough maybe ? I definitely can see evenly haha lightnng storm ? cosmic ? drolls ? virus? so many options but hard to pick since you are always afraid of the bricks x\
    but lets be honest the best news I heard today is you going to Dortmund, so freaking HYPED dude ... cant wait to see your topping list
    EDIT: there is also the monarch contiuous spell to protect vanity from imperm! lets be honest, no one is playing droplet, a least its very rare! so maybe you should also go for it ?
    as a last suggestion, talents will be a staple once ishizu stuff out! better find place for it!

    Just goes to show you can run basically anything as long as shove in the right staples to do it with. Granted, those staples can warp how some decks operate more severely than others.
    Not sure if dropping Ash is great with all the graveyard dumping going on, though having a bunch of stuff that can activate from grave instead might be valuable if 2 sided dumping gets too common. Funny enough, Monarch spell/traps do a decent amount of that so something this old could actually be playable by someone familiar with it.

    I think triple Solemn Judgement is mandatory in the main deck because once they out your Domain or tributed monster it's gg. I would suggest playing Mithra because it gives you a free body on your field and at the same time the token you summon on your opponent's side stops them from using Imperm/Evenly/Lightning Storm on you and other stuff. Since Mithra is a level 2 it pairs up perfectly with a Spright engine giving you more bodies to tribute off on the field and more interruptions to stop your opponent from breaking your lock.

Magicians' Soul is a free body to tribute, but it can also unbrick you by sending 2 spells/traps to the GY to draw 2 + it dumps Illusion of Chaos to the GY, which you can freely banish to summon a Bystial. This package is also great because if you draw Pantheism without any other Monarch Spell, you can still dump it to the GY with Magicians' Soul to draw 1 and then activate its GY effect to add the Monarch Spell of your choice (Probably Domain). You can bump this small package to 3 Magicians' Soul and 2 Illusion of Chaos if you can find the space, but the smaller ratio is also fine.

    Idk if we just picked bad replays for the sake of content but ishizu tear just looks really underwhelming here, especially where they went first and ended on rulkallos, dweller and redoer, now while endboards don't mean much, you'd expect more from the constant 40%+ representation in the ocg, although ig frog spright alongside many other decks proved that the ocg doesn't mean anything
    Sure, you can shuffle back a bunch of cards from the grave, but the bystials already do that, but better, and you usually won't be needing more than 1 anyway, and you also mill the opponent's deck, potentially letting them combo in the mirror, or fueling stuff like fountain, giving free advanrage to like branded or dragon link

The only thing that would suck is banishing all 3 pantheisms but that is highly unlikely mathematically speaking. Generally, you only activate desires after you already go full combo, so you’ve already used everything you are worried about banishing. If not, and you have to shotgun it, then it means your hand was already a brick and desires is a Hail Mary at that point.
