@Kang-PrimeTimeline let's organize a thing. Early half 00s format, whatever the Monarch era was is my pick for last time the game was sane.

Play what we called "Cookie Cutter" format. Post-Cyber Dragon Pre-Dark Armed Dragon.

No it's prior, like 2005-06 at latest. Heavy Scapegoat usage and BLS-EOTB was still legal. I think they call it "goat format"? @Kang-PrimeTimeline

The water one destroy 2 spells/traps primarily, but the light kill a creature one was also popular. Z-something. This is all old for me. @Kang-PrimeTimeline if you ignore this thread you're dead to me. We're getting a :marseypotofsneed: tournament going and we're getting it going STAT. I expect to duel you NERDS this week.

i wasn't aware of these early monarchs - the 2012 era monarchs were an archtype which existed to prevent your opponent from special summoning and forced everyone to go back to tributes

Fake oldstrag, FAKE :marseypotofsneed: FAN. I dunno anything from the last 15 years+. I'm talking the OG monarchs, the original sets. Retvrn to OG Yu-Gi-Oh! or admit you're a zoomer that will NEVER challenge me to duel. @DWHITE__________DYNAMITE @Rescarer0 Ping oldstrags NOW.

the original monarchs were from 2004-2005, and they were very powerful group of tribute monsters which got effects specifically for tribute summoning, and they were powerful - but as the speed of Yugioh became more frantic and fast, and special summons started to outnumber the normal summons, the act of relying on tribute summoning became more and more "bad" or outdated.

Then, about 10 years later 2012-2014, the original 2004 era monarchs would get some mega turbo charged support, to propel them into a top tier archtype. Basically, they got a shitload of support spells, and the mother of all fieldspell cards ever printed - basically negating the very act of special summoning itself, meaning that both players were forced to go back to tribute summoning, comepletly cucking the format and cucking all losers who relied on the new summoning mechanics like Pendulum/synchro and shit

Old school strags loved monarchs, and propelled the archtype to top 10 infamy in the game's history.

I personally was too brokenshit poor before 2010-2011, and my backwater farmville rural shithead hometown nobody fricking played the game, so i was not aware the very original monarchs were printed THAT early.
