Soul Control Deck

A Soul Control Deck is essentially a Monarch Control Deck with a few different cards. The essential difference is that Soul Control Decks use between two and three Soul Exchange cards and one Brain Control, while most Monarch Control Decks use between two and three Brain Controls and only one Soul Exchange. Players using Soul Exchange instead of Brain Control allows a Soul Control Player to tribute Face-down monsters and does not require a player to pay 800 life points. The major drawback to this is that a player using Soul Exchange must skip their Battle Phase for that turn, which slows this deck down alot. Most players that choose to use Monarchs prefer Brain Control because of this downside.
