Forum:Frognarchs

I posted a deck like this earlier just for fun and I hadn't tested it, but this deck I have tested today and it seems to be very effective.

I have a total of 8 monarchs which may seem like alot but in reality is actually more. 2 Pot of Avarice will allow me to recycle my monarchs, as well as 3 Swap Frogs which can send monarchs back to my hand each turn.

This deck can support so many tributes because Treeborn Frog can be sent to the graveyard turn 1 nearly every game with Substitoad or Swap Frog's effects. I can use Treeborn Frog for a tribute every turn as long as I have no spells or traps set. That is why I have only 7 traps, all of which will usually stay on the field for only 1 turn. The traps also add a control element to the deck. Three Spiritual Water Art - Aoi and two Mind Crush will let me know what my opponent has in his hand and make him discard one of my choice.

The spells can abuse Treeborn Frog and the monarch archtype by taking my opponent's monsters and tributing them for my monarchs. I also have 3 My Body as a Shield mained because I do not want to set any traps, and I can easily counter Torrential Tribute, Mirror Force and other traps that would destroy my monsters. The Pot of Avarice, Moray of Greed and Salvage provide further hand advantage and the ability to recycle my monarchs, as well as my frogs.

Dandylion is a card often seen in monarch decks as well as frog decks. Its even better in a Frognarch deck!

Please suggest any new ideas for the deck! This deck does lose however when Treeborn Frog is removed from play :( .Lord of Amphibians 09:19, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
