Creature - Zombie Cleric (R)
When ~ enters the battlefield, you become the monarch.
Whenever you become the monarch, target player sacrifices a creature.
4/2
interesting, but not necessarily strong. becoming the monarch seems pretty easy, but its like a one time snap (you can't become the monarach while you are already the monarch).
Well, an immediate Edict Effect + an extra card EoT seems rather strong to me. And each time you become the monarch equals to 2 cards in card advantage. Sure i take it.
Not to mention a four power body with the zombie tag. And if you're aggresive enough the crown can change hands plenty of times. I'm sure it doesn't work this way but cards that give you the crown say "you become the monarch." I don't imagine this guy would trigger off those if you already have the crown but right now it's kind of ambiguous.
Better than it looks at first glance. If you play it while not the Monarch, you get an edict effect and an extra card at EoT, as well as a 4/2 body with a relevant creature type, all for just five mana. On top of that, if your opponent manages to get the Monarchy away from you, the next time you damage them you get a free edict effect and an extra card.
As a collector of Lich cards (see my username), I'd place this in the middle of Lichy goodness. There are definitely worse Lich cards, such as Scornful AEther-Lich.
I hope there's a "You are no longer the monarch" or "Target opponent becomes the monarch" ("abdicating your throne"?), so you can repeat this somehow.
Rite of replication this guy and then take the throne. Sickness

Opponents will be doing that for you anyway, since everyone wants the crown. If they don't because of this dude being threatening that's big game, because that means that not only is he keeping you from being attacked, he's also drawing you a card every turn.
He's either a repeatable edict effect or "At the beginning of each end step, draw a card" so long as you have any real board presence. Seems good.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
For the people complaining that you cannot repeat his effect unless you depend on your opponents to steal the crown from you... do you realise if they decline or are unable to do so, you are drawing an extra card per turn and not receiving combat damage?
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

This is the short argument why I disagree with anyone calling this card "boring" or being disappointed. This is a design homerun.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

It basically says, "if you aren't the monarch, target player sacs a creature, and you draw a card at end of your turn."
Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
