  • Frog Monarch
rdfs:comment
  • 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 fodder. 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 enough tribute fodder for duelists to have up to 15 monsters that require Tribute Summoning, while still managing to play smoothly. One can even take advantage of all the tribute based "spell" and "Frog" cards and try to pack a three tribute monster like "Beast King Barbaros" or "Destiny HERO - Plasma".

abstract
  • 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 fodder. 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 enough tribute fodder for duelists to have up to 15 monsters that require Tribute Summoning, while still managing to play smoothly. One can even take advantage of all the tribute based "spell" and "Frog" cards and try to pack a three tribute monster like "Beast King Barbaros" or "Destiny HERO - Plasma". The September 2010 Lists slowed the deck down, thanks to "Substitoad" going straight from Unlimited to Forbidden. While there are still plenty of ways to search and dump "Treeborn Frog" into the graveyard, Frognarch players no longer enjoy the considerable deck-thinning abilities and easy "Dupe Frog" locks that "Substitoad" provided. However, the addition of "Formula Synchron" and the ease of which it can be summoned via "Treeborn Frog" plus "Fishborg Blaster" have helped offset the loss a bit. Due to the banning of Fishborg Blaster, Effect Veiler has been added commonly to the deck as a replacement tuner for Formula Synchron, and is also versatile because it can negate effects that begin OTKs. Originally, this decktype rarely included Synchro Monsters, instead focusing solely on creating tribute fodder for the large numbers of tribute monsters they ran; but the aforementioned release of "Formula Synchron" and banning of "Substitoad" have resulted in the rise of an offshoot (typically referred to as "Formula Monarchs") of this deck that relies more heavily on Synchro Monsters. However, the September 2011 Lists has essentially rendered the synchro-orientated decks unplayable with the limitation of Formula Synchron, Pot of Avarice, and especially the ban of Fishborg Blaster, Formula Monarchs signature Tuner monster.
