Hello members of DHQ. Today I thought I would make an article on a couple of our friendly monarchs, Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, Mobius the Frost Monarch and Granmarg the Rock Monarch. Of the 4 monarchs that are out these 3 are the best. Will the latest ban list we see that Nobleman of Crossout has been limited to one so there is less face down removal. This is where our friend Granmarg comes in.

When this card is Tribute Summoned successfully, destroy 1 face-down card on the field.


Granmarg is gonna make itself a little more known in this format due to Nobleman of Crossout being limited to 1. Sure this wouldnt be a problem for Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, but for those who are having trouble with getting him Granmarg is a good second. Not only is this card good for field control decks but its also good in Monarch Soul Control decks. These decks are specialized for field control but they rely mostly on the Monarchs to do this. Field Control is better but Monarch Soul Control can be better if made properly. Granmarg, like all the monarchs, have one threat and that would be Tsukiyomi. Tsukiyomi could flip your monarch face down and attack it and still destroy it. Good thing about the latest ban list is Tsukiyomi getting banned. This card is also good for trap removal.

Lets move on to Zaborg the Thunder Monarch. Zaborg is probably the best out of itself and Granmarg only because the card you select does not have to be face down. The only cards this card cant destroy with its effect are spell and trap cards. Like all the other monarchs he only requires 1 tribute and has 2400 attack points. Overall this card gives a little more support to the Thunder-Type monsters and its also chaos food. In the April 1st ban list this card raised hell. Its effect is nasty but if your opponent were to get rid of Zaborg, during your next turn you would just play Chaos Sorcerer
and remove their monster from the game. Another good use for this in Chaos decks was with Cyber Dragon. Above all Cyber Dragon was one of the best chaos food/speed summon monsters out there and it still is. If you had nothing out you could easily even the playing field by summoning Cyber Dragon then tribute it to get Zaborg and destroy your opponents monster. If you asked me that was a +1 move.

6 Stars
ATK/2400 DEF/1000
[Aqua/Effect]
When this card is Tribute Summoned successfully, you can destroy up to 2 Spell or Trap cards on the field.


Now for the last monarch, Mobius the Frost Monarch. Now among the 3 you can pair 2 monarchs together and you can make a deck arch-type. For instance if you were to base a deck on Mobius and Granmarg you can easily have a spell and trap removal deck. With their high attack you dont really need to worry about your opponents monsters unless they are using monsters like Penguin Soldier or something. Another deck arch-type would be with Granmarg the Rock Monarch and Zaborg the Thunder Monarch. They are both able to control your opponents monsters which can give you a clear shot at your opponents life points. With Granmarg you can also clear your opponents spell and traps to protect yourself.

Deck Portion
Monsters:
Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
Granmarg the Rock Monarch
Granmarg the Rock Monarch
Mobius the Frost Monarch
Mobius the Frost Monarch
Cyber Dragon
Cyber Dragon
Marauding Captain
Marauding Captain
Sacred Crane
Sacred Crane
Treeborn Frog
Sangan
Warrior Lady
Breaker the Magical Warrior
Exiled Force
Exiled Force
Cyber-Stein

Spells:
Reinforcement of the Army
Graceful Charity
Brain Control

Soul Exchange

Scapegoat
Heavy Storm
Book of Moon
Metamorphosis
Mystical Space Typhoon
Enemy Controller
Enemy Controller
Premature Burial
Stray Lambs

Traps:
Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
Mirror Force
Ring of Destruction

Im sure we all see how this deck works. You have your basic field control and support. Scapegoat is good with Enemy Controller. Since its limited to 1 I thought I would throw in a Stray Lambs. Its good if you and your opponent have no monsters, or in other words, towards the beginning of the game. We have our standard traps which are basically a must for all decks in the new format. I thought I would add a little draw power in here. Marauding Captain + Sacred Crane. This makes a good combo for drawing and gaining field advantage.


For those who read this article I hope you liked it since its the first one Ive done in a long, LONG time.

Very nice, please keep them coming! I'm a big fan of the monarchs, and think they are a staple in any deck. You get a decent-strength monster and a staple effect all in one card. ^^

I used to run Monarch Soul Control so I have some expieriance with them. The deck I made I never took apart for about 3 months.

@ TDG: Idk, I only get on 3 days a week so I dont have much time to write articles. I can try to fit one in every now and then though.

Im glad you all liked it though. Normally my articles are not spaced out and all that. ^_^

All you did is tell us that the Monarchs are good. Don't we know that?

>.> Yes, we all know that. This was about some of their uses and how they will do in Sept. 1st bans.

Yea, but Zaborg+Granmarg=More Field Control. With Zaborg, Mobius and Granmarg you have a lot more field control.

regardless of the format

zaborg>mobius>thestalos>granmarg

Granmarg is simply too situational to be of any use. All of the other monarchs have much more versatility.

There was a point in time that Mobius was king and Zaborg was not.
