Creature — Human Soldier
At the beginning of your end step, if you're the monarch, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
“"Rulers come and go, but my allegiance belongs to the throne."”
- WotCAug 23, 2016
Abilities that trigger whenever you "become the monarch" trigger only if you aren't already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.
- WotCAug 23, 2016
Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch."
- WotCAug 23, 2016
If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.
- WotCAug 23, 2016
The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.
- WotCAug 23, 2016
The last ability of Throne Warden checks to see if you're the monarch as your end step begins. If you're not, the ability won't trigger at all. You won't be able to do anything that would make you the monarch during your end step in time to have that ability trigger. The ability will also check to see if you're the monarch as it tries to resolve. If you're not the monarch at that time, the ability will have no effect.
