What are all of the Monarchs decks?

[Justin O.]

Hey guys, just trying to get a list of what Monarchs are out there.


Pre-Release
Standard no seal
Standard w/seal
Red
Green
Silver
Gold
White Gold
NYSM2
Eleven Madison Park

Are the Standard Monarchs without a seal just an earlier print than the ones with seals? Or a different version altogether?

As quoted by Lyle Borders T11 VP of Operations.

The Monarch major releases are:

1. Pre-release Monarchs (metallic gold ink design on Navy background on the cards, gold foil on navy tuck case). 144 decks exist.
2. Monarch Blue (white design on Navy background on the cards, gold foil on navy tuck case). Multiple minor variants in this line.
3. Monarch White (metallic gold ink design on white background on the cards, gold foil on white tuck case). Limited Edition.
4. Monarch Silver (black ink design on white background on the cards, silver foil on white tuck case). Unlimited, but eventually was discontinued.
5. Monarch Red (V1) (white design on red background on the cards, gold foil on pale red, soft paper tuck case). Discontinued in favor of the V2 variant.
6. Monarch Green (white design on green background on the cards, gold foil on green paper tuck case)
7. Monarch Red (V2) (white design on red background on the cards, gold foil on deep red, more glossy paper tuck case).
8. White Gold Monarchs. Effectively White Monarchs V2. Limited Edition
9. Monarch NYSM2 (white design on black background on the cards, silver foil on black paper tuck). Limited Edition
10. Monarch Gold (gold foil design on black background, gold foil on gold paper tuck). Promotional Only, Limited Edition
11. Monarch EMP (Eleven Madison Park edition). Same as Monarch White, but with EMP branding on tuck case, and changes to the cards inside.

I had them all once upon a time except number 1 and 11. Still have a few decks knocking about somewhere.

A topic I have a lot of interest in. While Lyle's list I'm sure is the official list, I have a slightly different one.

1. Pre Release (Four Leafs on Bottom Left and Top Right on back of Tuck Case/Card Backs, Inverted Circle 11 Logo on bottom of tuck, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull Cello) (Same as the Original Release V1 Monarchs, however my deck the seam on the cello is on the opposite side than all my other Monarch decks. The other person I know that has one is the same way. Not sure if this may be a way to identify a pre-release deck or not)
2. Monarch Blue V1 (Four Leafs, Inverted Circle 11 Logo, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull Cello)
3. Monarch Blue (I call V2 but T11 still calls V1 so lets say V1a)(Four Leafs, Circle 11 Logo on bottom, from this point on all logos are right side up, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull)
4. Monarch White/Gold V1 (Four Leafs, Circle 11 Logo, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull)
5. Monarch White/Silver (Four Leafs, Circle 11 Logo, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull)
6. Monarch Eleven Madison Park V1 (EMP Back, Circle 11 Logo, Rounded Seal, Clear Pull)
7. Monarch Blue V2 (Five Leafs, Circle 11 Logo, Jagged Seal, Clear Pull)
8. Monarch Red V1 (Five Leafs, Circle 11 Logo, Jagged Seal, Clear Pull, and red tuck color slightly muted)
9. Monarch White/Gold V2 (Five Leafs, Circle 11 Logo, Jagged Seal, Clear Pull)
10. Monarch Eleven Madison Park (EMP Back, Circle 11 Logo, Jagged Seal) (Most will say there was only one run of EMPs, But there are two different seals some are rounded some are jagged)
11. Monarch Blue V3 or V4 if you are like me...(Five Leafs, What I call the TX1 Logo (a T, X and 1 on top of one another), Jagged Seal, Thick Gold Pull on Cello)
12. Monarch Red V2 (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thick Gold Pull) (Red tuck color is brighter)
13. Monarch Green V1 (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thick Gold Pull)
14. Monarch Gold (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thick Gold Pull)(Entire tuck is gold)
15. Monarch Blue V3a or V5 (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
16. Monarch Red V2a or V3 (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
17. Monarch Green V1a or V2 (Five Leafs, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
18. Monarch NYSM2 (Five Leaf, TX1 Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
19. Monarch Blue V3b or V6 (Five Leafs, Script Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
20. Monarch Red V2b or V4 (Five Leafs, Script Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)
21. Monarch Green V1b or V3 (Five Leafs, Script Logo, Jagged Seal, Thin Gold Pull)

If I remember rightly he did say something like they didn't see minor changes between print runs as seperate versions.
Thats a great list though, I am sure there are some Monarch completists that have just spat their coffee out

I guess we need to add Monarch Purple to that list as well.

I just read the monarch list a couple posts up. That is just ridiculous.

Really???

Tip of the hat to you Spectre for compiling this list.

As I mentioned elsewhere - tuck swaps don't constitute a different "version"/variant. Updating tucks for constantly in-print decks is just shrewd marketing.

If someone wants all of them though it is helpful to know all of the different updates
