Frog Monarch

Frog Monarchs, also known as Frognarchs, Frogarchs or Froggy Monarchs is a Deck type, which combines "Frog" and "Monarch" monsters.

The idea of the Deck is to use "Treeborn Frog", "Swap Frog" and "Ronintoadin" to make tribute fodders, "Substitoad" to mill "Frog" monsters to Graveyard and perform a double "Dupe Frog" or "Substitoad"/"Dupe Frog" lock. Another purpose of "Swap Frog" is to send "Treeborn Frog" or "Ronintoadin" to the Graveyard and to return "Monarchs" to hand for later use. This Deck creates so many tribute fodders, that some players use up to 15 monsters that require Tribute Summoning, and still manage to play smoothly. This deck doesn't use Synchro Monsters, mainly because it devotes itself to generating Tribute fodder, and because it would unbalance the build itself. Another Frog-related deck, known as Frog OTK, works with Synchro Monsters. You can even go a step further with all the tribute based "spell" and "Frog" cards and try to pack a three tribute monster like "Beast King Barbaros" or "Obelisk the Tormentor".

The deck proved to be powerful enough to affirm itself at the most recent Swiss and German national championship, and currently shows itself frequently in high-level tournaments.

Light and Darkness Dragon Version
This version uses "Light and Darkness Dragon" to negate everything your opponent throws at you. "Light and Darkness Dragon" is easy to get of now thanks to "Treeborn Frog" and "Ronintoadin" as they are easy tribute fodder. The deck uses your basic frog tricks such as "substitoad" loop to mill out all your frogs and use Treeborn or Ronintoadin as tributes. One of the MVP of this deck is "Enemy Controller", which allows you to tribute one of your frogs to take control of one of your opponents monsters and then tribute it for something else.
