Throne of the Monarch

Yeah, sure it could be an artifact. Not unlike Dragon Throne of Tarkir. But Command Tower could also be an artifact. I think it's fine.

Mayhaps it should be legendary? I know we all tend to associate custom cards with EDH, but if this were printed in Conspiracy 3, non-legendary may be a bit too powerful. Or, actually, under powered. Imagine having 2 or 3 online and you suddenly lose Monarchy. Now you've lost those sources of colors and must spend resources just to get those back.

That might be too hard of an ask for players. So perhaps legendary would be for the best?

Almost literally every cEDH deck would play this.

I think it should lose the sacrifice ability or have it be sorcery speed, and it should enter tapped. Imagine dropping this t1 into a Remora and 0 drop in Yuriko.

So like, just taking a quick look at this, and this is way too good basically just for that first ability. Like in legacy I can see this becoming an instant four of in Delver, D&T, and Lands for being a cantriping land and plus isn't too hard to keep the monarch in some of those decks if you really try it can be a ton of draw for 0 mana investment and you get good fixing. I doubt the last ability sees much use except in EDH but it's still pretty good. Like this does what throne of the high city does but like 100 times better. Personally I think it would be a neat card if it didn't have the first ability, but right now its probably too good.
