Question
Hey Mike. Can you edit my monarch deck. Thanks a lot. Also since I just built
this deck, can you please tell me why soul exchange is so good in a monarch
deck. Im kinda confused about the whole thing.
Monsters 21
2x mobius
2x thestalos
2x Raiza
1x zaborg
2x gravekeeper's spy
1x treeborn frog
1x dd warrior lady
1x dd assilant
1x spirit reaper
1x neo spacian grand mole
3x cyber dragon
3x hydroggedon
1x sangan
Spells 14
2x brain control
2x soul exchange
1x snatch steal
1x enemy controller
1x book of moon
1x mst
1x scapegoat
1x smashing ground
1x premature burial
1x confiscation
1x heavy storm
1x nobleman of crossout
Traps 6
3x sakuretsu armor
1x mirror force
1x torrential tribute
1x ring of destruction
Traps are fine.
Spells look pretty good as well...
And I might consider a 3rd Spy but that's the only real major change.
Soul Exchange is good because it lets you clear out an opponent's face-down monster where your Brain Control would be a dead card. Sometimes it's worth not attacking just to clear out 2-3 opponent cards in one turn (Soul Exchange Thestalos is a huge early game play, when their face-down isn't Sangan, Treeborn, or a Malicious they tribute set for.)

Expertise
ON VACATION indefinitely. I have not had the chance to be competitive as of lately as there are no Regionals in the area and my work schedule has kept me from traveling out of state. If I expect to be more than a couple of months I will try to see if I can appoint a new guru for the category. My apologies to those seeking to ask me questions, but I am nowhere near as much help as I would like to be right now.
