Jared wants you to CLAIM the throne. None of that become the monarch... okay, okay, calm down. There: seven damage, guards, and a rattlesnake. Also, here's a deck guide.
I was disappointed that Jared didn't get a card. I was not expecting him to be the naya one.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Would have expected Jared to have black mana somewhere on the card. He was known as the Shadow Mage and had his body warped by a Syphon Soul when he was a baby.
Can we also get a Ravidel to go with him? And his army of orcs with Rocket Launchers?
unfortunately he's BAD... I mean, really, really bad.
lol.
you pay 3 mana for a vanilla 3/3 that will make someone else draw a card....
and when you're finally able to hit the monarch with a creature he's still arguably worse than Stormwild Capridor
man, this is a sad day for me. hahahah

Yeah, they could have given him trample or vigilance

Man, Jared sucks! What are the benefits to playing this card? It's a cool design but they definitely could have, and SHOULD have made it stronger. He really needs to have some sort of evasion, or just be a better card. Giving your opponent the Monarch AND Having a Monarch relevant ability (that's not all that worth it, might I add) for a 3/3 seems ridiculously underpowered compared to the other commanders.
Imagine if Jared were a straight-up 5/5. Probably still wouldn't have been that amazing, but at least the drawbackineas of his ability would have made more sense.
Oh for peak sakes you guys rein of underrating cards never ends
jared gives monarch to somebody but you forgot something when your turn hits again
The monarch cards all have something in common and that's every single one saids (outside Jared)
“When *name/this* enters the battlefield, you become the monarch”
once the next turn hits....JUST PLAY ANYTHING WITH MONARCH ABILITY!
no attacks necessary.
The real mistake is now is Kristina didn't get a card
1. She thought Jared aspects of mana and fell in love
2. She’s one of the nine titans
3. Literally her killer is tevesh szat which was another member and got a card here
once the next turn hits....JUST PLAY ANYTHING WITH MONARCH ABILITY!
Yeah... and then you get a 3/3 phytohydra
You use it for attacking? You opponent won't block
You use it for blocking? Can't stop evasion or big tramplers from getting monarch back
You somehow manage to give him tons of counters? Still chumpable and dies to removal.
You have to waste resources getting monarch back, you have to have resources making him big, you have to waste resources making evasive, you have to waste resources protecting him. That's too much

Simple add a flicker minor theme so you can keep getting it back

I don't believe the game needs more power. It needs more creativity, more restriction again. Slapping everything the card needs to be successful on the card itself undermines the whole point of deck building. This is Commander, build your deck to make up for the restrictions (shortcomings) and then the payoff is actually earned and satisfying.

C'mon. Get creative! It doesn't even take a ton of thought to make this work in your favor.
You clear the board with damage while you're the monarch, put a ton of counters on your commander, and swing in.
Everything should die to removal. That's okay - it's what keeps this game from being solitaire.
It'll stop big tramplers if you put counters on it.
Nothing stops evasion, that's the point of evasion. This is irrelevant. Also, if flying specifically is blowing your mind, then you're still in colors that have plenty of flying or reach options. This isn't the only creature in your deck.

Seriously, where did all the brewers go?!
yeah, all of those are great.... even better with Vigor, though
mechanically, Jared ir ridiculously bad, unfortunately, he's just way too underpowered for anyone to really build around him.
I mean, at best he's just a spectacularly huge easily chumpblockable creature.

meh, who cares?
He's 3 mana...why do we need more than what he has on him for 3 mana?
Yep, he's better with Vigor. He's better with trample. So thank goodness you have 62 other cards to find a way to make that happen...In the two easiest colors to do so..
I get that I am fighting a losing battle in wanting Wizards to print more cards like this. Cards that aren't completely self contained strategies and powerhouses. Most people don't want to deck build anymore, they just want the card to do it all on its own.
So who cares? The few like me that are still around that don't appreciate lazy, power house, self-contained cards.

Yeah, printing him as a 2/2 with trample and vigilance would totally have created a format-warping powerhouse
No one will play this because there are through many hoops you have to jump before making him useful, especially in naya where you have a lot of valid generals

Yeah, I don't think Magic players are lazy for not wanting to build a deck that almost always loses in an attempt to buff their commander up to the strength of a vanilla creature.

So actually I have deck already kinda built for this card, and it's primarily a goading deck.
That being said the big one that's work wonders with this card is Lightmine Field. Jared ignores it when you're the monarch and actively disincentives your opponents from swinging out with their whole team. Also for all the people complaining he doesn't have any abilities like trample... I mean you're in Nya... Rancor or any of the other myriad ways of give him some keyword ability exist. He's not overly broken but ask yourself, does he need to be? I actually like the availability of lower power commanders, it allows for more toned downed games.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
