I love this current era. Seeing all the decks that I loved, and played with/against before I took a break, coming back at full force and still being decent is amazing.
I'm glad that you get to play your favorite deck again. One card I would recommend for testing is Seleglare the Luminous Lunar Dragon. Seleglare has Monarch stats and could be summoned off of Ehther when going first.
That's kinda neat, might try it. I've thought about trying a copy of the OG Diabolos, it's got a nice effect and has Monarch stats as well. There's really a lot you can do with Monarchs.
I guess running the Apprentice Magician thing wouldnt be too bad either since it could be tribute fidder aswell as a tribute summonable Monster for Domain and Trap
Great video LIthium, im glad to see you playing monarchs again. They are definitely now at full power, with some changes for today meta they can definitely give run for their money vs top decks. I was thinking, but would in domain monarch version of deck monarchs erupt be good option?
Lithium!!! You got me back into the game with this deck after 5 year hiatus! Theres 3 cards i wonder about for this, foolish burial goods, mithra, and seleglare. Let me know!
07:00 Correct me if I am wrong, but he could make some plays here by activating Storm from hand, banish it to summon the trap from GY, Tribute borrel and the trap, Summon Aether and use its effect and Voila ! you attack the mechaba leaving construct alone and you would have went pluses with Aether's effect (foolishing what you need) It is really really rare to see you throwing a game and especially with monarchs ! I think you were too happy with it being FINALLY free xDDD (ofc If ever I am right and there wasn't any other thing I am missing) Thanks for the video ! always enjoyable =D
How do you feel about an Extra Deck variant with something like Isolde? Or maybe a combination with Eldlich? They also have level 5s and Golden Lord is pretty fantastic.
I think the biggest issue is the brickiness factor of Monarchs. Most hands always end up being either a monarch with no edea or eidos or an edea or eidos with no monarch. Running Danger Dogman is super helpful I've found
Nice! Only decks I used to play were Gravekeeper's and Monarchs. Never got into the decks that special summon a bunch of monsters in one turn. Anti-Meta is the way too go lol
What’s your opinion on the Mega Monarchs? Are they worth playing with Allure and Trade-In to try and compensate for the tendencies for this deck to brick? Also, would you make another update for this deck once the format defines itself a little more clearly? I really like Domain Monarchs and would like to play this deck again. You’re the biggest help with it comes to all the video replays do you (plus the commentary and explanations)
Have you considered using Mithra? I feel like Edea makes the deck more vulnerable to hand traps but at the same time Edea is the only way to get back your banished “Monarch” S/Ts.
I started playing competitively in 2018 with True Draco. Before that I was playing the awful Blue Eyes deck I made in middle school. This all means that by the time I was in the loop, Monarchs were already hammered, and I've always been interested in playing them. I'm pretty sure I'd get a lot of weird looks for saying that my favorite summoning method is tribute summoning, but not having a special summon method justifies a lot of unbalanced card design.
tbf maybe right now u might weird looks but u wouldn't get those looks if u played during 2015 when monarchs were a thing. Same thing applies to true draco.
Hey Lithium im no expert in monarchs so I don't really understand why you don't like/play monarchs erupt? I'm sure you have a reason for it but I don't know enough about monarchs but I'd love to play and understand the deck better
I have heard of generaider monarchs but I have not seen it nor can I figure it out (I am big into generaiders and have played monarchs before). I was hoping you would be able to show the most functional version of the build?
Wait is all the monarch stuff finally back to 3? If so can't wait to play it again since it was the last meta deck I ever played. Too bad my fossils and magnets got screwed over but block dragon deserved the ban.
Why not extra deck monarchs? I think squeezing more special summons so if you get negated before the board is made you can at least link away. Also using cards like crackdown can let you manipulate mystic mine so it doesnt pop itself and then you can link their material off
I love the Monarchs. I ecen started playing with the Caius Structure Deck, so it hits close to home. I just think that there are way to many staples that kill the deck. That being said, 8:26 is a piece of art.
I tried Draitron-Monarch today. The plan was simple, use the Alpha Draitron effect, search benten then tribute benten by other Draitron to search Ehther. After that tribute summon Ehther over the Draitrons to do Monarch stuffs. The combo aim was to providing sufficient tribute folder while searching for Ehther, with pantheism at 3 for some draw power, but then I realised the Draitrons prevent speacial summon of anything that doesn't have the chaos monsters' summon clause, so Ehther effect won't trigger. Could anyone help me expand upon this concept?
lets be honest, monarchs have had no love since 2015, , we need some support man, every thing else has got some kind of support, six sam, crystal beast, elemental hero, etc, but why not one of the oldest competitive archtype in the game
Considering how Konami use banlists as money making supplement, I wouldn't be surprised to see new Monarch and Gishki support coming out in near future sets.
At least Monarchs are cheap. All you really need are 3 structures and a couple of other cards that aren't too pricy. All in all you could probably pick them up again for around $60.
Pantheism was bound to come back at some point, every other card that was hit (Ehther and Stormforth) came off the banlist slowly but surely.The deck is pretty cheap anyway.
From the looks of things, the deck hasn't changed all that much with all the cards that's added over the years lol. It does kinda worry me, but hey, I guess I can get 3 structure decks and I'm ready lol.
There is a difference with "used once per turn" and "activated once per turn" cards that have thw second clause like storm can be activated again if the activation itself is negatet by a card effect.
It has been 10,000 years
OMG, Hi Cimoooooo.
Omg its him
Say that again for those in the back lolz
Finally
Cimooooooooooooo!
Pantheism goes to 3.

This man, finally got your wish Lithium. Happy Banlist Day.
I love how you can hear the happiness in his voice just talking about everything with the Monarchs
LONG HAVE WE WAITED, PANTHEISM ACTIVATED
Yes finally my Monarch friend can do the meme "I activate Pantheism discarding Pantheism" again
I love this current era. Seeing all the decks that I loved, and played with/against before I took a break, coming back at full force and still being decent is amazing.
RETURN OF THE MONARCHS
Thought of you the second I saw the list, I’m so happy for you man. Monarchs will rise again!
Maaan that emocional start hits me hard. You know we are very happy to see you enjoy your favorite deck again at full power😁😁
I'm glad that you get to play your favorite deck again. One card I would recommend for testing is Seleglare the Luminous Lunar Dragon. Seleglare has Monarch stats and could be summoned off of Ehther when going first.

This was highly anticipated and welcomed with all of our love :D
Finally I can play my favourite deck again more consistently.
I don't care that it isn't top tier anymore. I'm going to play this!
happy for you Lithium! can’t wait to see you play updated ED Monarchs!
Really happy for you, especially since I started watching your channel since frog monarchs
Delg the Dark Monarch is a level 6 spellcaster so u can use him as a target and his eff isnt that bad to have
I guess running the Apprentice Magician thing wouldnt be too bad either since it could be tribute fidder aswell as a tribute summonable Monster for Domain and Trap
@@yugibudget1114 There is a witchcrafter with monarch stats that pops 1 card by discarding a spell
This is the day you been waiting for.
Monarchs full power... LLEEETT'SS GOOOO. I can't wait to get my monarch deck out and go to locals
Great video LIthium, im glad to see you playing monarchs again. They are definitely now at full power, with some changes for today meta they can definitely give run for their money vs top decks. I was thinking, but would in domain monarch version of deck monarchs erupt be good option?
Pantheism at 3 might just be what I needed to come back to Ygo
Oh baby lets go *^ *
I cant wait to feel your happiness xD
Lithium!!! You got me back into the game with this deck after 5 year hiatus! Theres 3 cards i wonder about for this, foolish burial goods, mithra, and seleglare. Let me know!
you gonna be making an extra deck monarch profile as well?
I'm looking forward to see a PK video :)
07:00 Correct me if I am wrong, but he could make some plays here by activating Storm from hand, banish it to summon the trap from GY, Tribute borrel and the trap, Summon Aether and use its effect and Voila ! you attack the mechaba leaving construct alone and you would have went pluses with Aether's effect (foolishing what you need)
It is really really rare to see you throwing a game and especially with monarchs ! I think you were too happy with it being FINALLY free xDDD (ofc If ever I am right and there wasn't any other thing I am missing)
Thanks for the video ! always enjoyable =D
Your right ^^
Did I miss that? Overhinking.. 😅
@@Lithium2300 muh, it is okay, it happens xD but it would have been sweet to see a comeback =D
Ye. The opponent threw Winda away on their turn. If they had kept Winda on the field, there was no chance of a comeback after the Idea SS.
at 6:57 if you don't use edea's eff, you could have stormforth ehther tributing borrelsword walk over one mechaba
How do you feel about an Extra Deck variant with something like Isolde? Or maybe a combination with Eldlich? They also have level 5s and Golden Lord is pretty fantastic.
May wanna try an extra deck variant. Might be pretty strong.
I’ve seen a couple people just testing out the monarch draw engine with pantheism now at 3 in other decks
Awesome so happy for you!!! would you do a true draco monarch deck profile?
Please update your extra deck monarchs!!
Hey, I love Monarchs!
Loved the vid. I like your list how do you feel about mithra though
Been trying out foolish burial goods with only 2 prime and 2 return. Having that dump for pantheism is soooo nice ✊🏻
Been waiting all day my man, FINALLY!!!
I think the biggest issue is the brickiness factor of Monarchs. Most hands always end up being either a monarch with no edea or eidos or an edea or eidos with no monarch.

I've been waiting for this video for a long long time
Nice! Only decks I used to play were Gravekeeper's and Monarchs. Never got into the decks that special summon a bunch of monsters in one turn. Anti-Meta is the way too go lol
Sadly KoA is anti-anti-meta.
It's obviously tier 1, but I feel like you'd like Eldlich
I'd play pure Eldlich if KoA didn't make it short print to hell
@@D.AblosFamilia Not to mention Magicians Souls... might have actually payed out for them without that

The day of promise is finally upon us.
Have you considered using Mithra? I feel like Edea makes the deck more vulnerable to hand traps but at the same time Edea is the only way to get back your banished “Monarch” S/Ts.
ok so....
why not eruption or even strike for some negation? or march?
Regarding the 3rd Prime Monarch you could replace it with March for extra protection if you get vanitys lock

THE RETURN OF THE KING!
What do you think about use crackdown? You can tribute your opponent monsters uwu
with the handtraps triple tactical talents might be a neat idea. monarchs used to brick, so having more draws seems to make sense.
I'm surprised nobody uses it.
Hey Lithium im no expert in monarchs so I don't really understand why you don't like/play monarchs erupt? I'm sure you have a reason for it but I don't know enough about monarchs but I'd love to play and understand the deck better

I'm legit returning to the game.
Thank you Lithium!!!!
At min 7:00, why couldn't you stormforth, bring back prime, tribute borrelsword and prime for ehther and go off from there? What am i missing?
Can you make a "True Draco Monarch" Deck-Video. Either with ED or with Erupt ;-)
KNEEL!!! before the monachs, for they hath returned FOR vengeance!!
.....for they are MIGHTY!
I think I would like to try out ab build with red layer an testhalos for hand looping just for '' fun"
My friend, after seeing the new banlist, asked me to help him building a monarch deck. I told him to wait and keep looking at your channel...😅
Can Magicians Soul work better with a Dogmatika engine in the deck? Or will the deck always need 95% to be Monarchs cards?
Witchcrafter Haine is a target for souls, monarch stats and a good quick effect.
are you gonna do an extra deck monarch variant?
I’m sure you know, but you can use delg as the brick for magicians’ souls
Opinion on extravagance for extra deck monarch?

Could you test an True Draco Monarch build with 3 Phante ? Its more draw power and draco would be able to search erupt 🤔.
Seleglare the luminous lunar dragon seems like a good target for Ehther have you tried it ?
Now I know a great monarch deck, all I have to wait for is for someone to fix junk synchros.
You just beat Dragoon in one turn?!
Please tell me the deck list
The memories..... I farmed so much money with this deck
You may wanna try Danger! Dogman in this deck
Best budget deck of the format
Lithium's first opponent really ran dragoon in thundras
It's been years since we could play this deck at full power... AND WE'RE STILL BRICKING!!! 🧱🧱🧱 (Just the way I remember)
is dogmatica extra deck monarchs possible ?
Chances they get support soon?
No seleglare?
Well this video didn't take real long, did it? Someone's excited.
Oh wow Lithium bois are BACK
Edm time. Magicians souls with delg sounds legit
lets be honest, monarchs have had no love since 2015, , we need some support man, every thing else has got some kind of support, six sam, crystal beast, elemental hero, etc, but why not one of the oldest competitive archtype in the game
Considering how Konami use banlists as money making supplement, I wouldn't be surprised to see new Monarch and Gishki support coming out in near future sets.
YES! IT'S TIME!
I wanted pantheism back for years. Then i stopped playing and sols everything i had. Now pantheism comes back...

Preparing My True Draco Monarch 😎👍 Nice Replays.
I'll keep an eye out for that, because I've been wanting to try that for a long time.
7:00 why not bring back the trap on the field ans stormforth Borrelsword???? Then attack on Mechaba and you go back in the game!
nvm no spell to banish
You can hear the happiness
Thoughts on running Trade-in if you don't wanna run Allure? Also, can you do an ED Monarch build?
Never use trade-in, Allure if possible, but not the best..
Finally it’s back!!!
Waiting on that pk fire video 👀
Was never really a fan of monarchs really...but its good they got back their mojo...Lol
im waiting for the pk fire list :)
From the looks of things, the deck hasn't changed all that much with all the cards that's added over the years lol. It does kinda worry me, but hey, I guess I can get 3 structure decks and I'm ready lol.
Why mess up perfection
@@tevincollins2869 Because we gotta get that sweet Seleglare interruption. ;)
Draco monarch?
True draco monarch with 3 pantheism?
Min 1.10 there is an error, you cannot activate a second stormforth in a turn!
There is a difference with "used once per turn" and "activated once per turn" cards that have thw second clause like storm can be activated again if the activation itself is negatet by a card effect.
@@RallenLP wow i didnt know that, thx
what did you think of the dangers? i thought of trying them out
Not good sadly, even the lv 7 one..
Allure + Kaiser Vorse Raider, think about it
Wait... what about eruption, tcbo, and the continuous spell that generate tokens? WHERE ARE THEM!?!?!
I hear consistency is a bit of an issue with Monarchs, so Lith decided to focus on summoning monsters and locking them out with Domain.
@@dungeonmaster3464 yeah just kidding. Cause everyone always compare monarch with true draco, and all of his floodgates
@@malvo2099 I'll admittedly try playing the other monarch control cards at 1 because I have a thing for win-more cards.
