i like your deck it seems pretty sound, except for call of the haunted.

it can get stuck on the field and jam up you treeborn frog, dry dropping him for another soul exchange. that will help you keep your treeborn frog hopping back each time.


please check out my monarch deck in my sig

Main Deck Fixes

- Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
+ Raiza the Storm Monarch

Raiza is just too good.

- Mobius the Frost Monarch
- Mobius the Frost Monarch
+ Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
+ Jinzo

Jinzo does what Mobius does but better, although it doesn't take out threats, it's more of a threat in itself than Mobius is. Side deck that mobius(s) if you like.

Thestalos is almost as good as Raiza in disrupting the opponent's strategy. Great against things like DDT, Demise, and everything in general.

- Call of the Haunted
+ Trap Dustshoot

Free up Treeborn Frog and add one of the most effective cards in this format. Trap Dustshoot run in threes will give you a much better shot at activating one early game, which is when your opponent has the most cards in hand. Trap Dustshooting followed up with a Thestalos summon is hard to recover from.

- Injection Fairy Lily
+ Gravekeeper's Guard

Injection Fairy Lily is a good card, however Gravekeeper's Guard will synergize better and its 1900 defense is just as hard to get around as Spy's defense. Searchable via Spy is its best attribute, no need in having a useless third spy.

Bouncing cards in this format is sometimes better than destroying them.

- Mystical Space Typhoon
- Book of Moon
+ Smashing Ground
+ Smashing Ground

- Smashing Ground (in side)
- Smashing Ground (in side)

Smashing Ground in the main deck is great against things like Cyber Phoenix, Gravekeeper's Spy (if you have to), Monarchs, Jinzo, and etc. Book of Moon is a great card for your deck, so consider dropping Soul Exchange if you want to keep it in your main deck.

- Soul Exchange / Magic Cylinder
- Confiscation (from side)
+ Confiscation (to main)

Confiscation is a great card, especially with Dustshoots and Thestalos. I like Magic Cylinder, however it may not be the best main deck choice.

Side Deck Fixes

- Smashing Ground
- Smashing Ground
- Confiscation

For reasons explained above.

- Neo-Spacian Grand Mole

Great card, however it doesn't provide field presence for a monarch summon.

- Cyber Phoenix
- Cyber Phoenix

Cyber Phoenix is a good card, however it is not needed in the side deck.

+ Mind Crush

Excellent side deck choice for reasons you probably already know.

+ Solemn Judgment
+ Solemn Judgment

Solemn Judgment is good against any deck, just watch your life points. Side out Ring of Destruction and Confiscation if you side in one or more of these.

+ Mobius the Frost Monarch
+ D.D. Crow
+ Giant Trunade

Mobius can come in against spell and trap heavy decks.

D.D. Crow is effective against Monarch decks, DDT Decks, Perfect Circle Decks, and other things like Demise OTK decks. Good side deck choice.

Giant Trunade is a great card against spell and trap heavy decks.

I wanted to add:

2 Threatening Roar (side deck)

To help combat OTKs and swarm decks in general, such as Six Samurai decks.
