Monarch

The Monarch marker

The Monarch is a concept that was introduced in Conspiracy: Take the Crown.

Only one player at a time can be the monarch and has the following ability: "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card."

A special marker may be used to indicate the Monarch on the battlefield. This is not a token, because it can't be destroyed.

Becoming the Monarch

There are three ways a player becomes the monarch:

1. A card makes the player the monarch.
2. If a creature you control deals combat damage to the monarch, you become the monarch.
3. If the monarch leaves the game on their turn, the next player in turn order becomes the monarch.
