Monarch's Sanctuary

Field Spell Card

When this card is activated, add 1 "Monarch" Spell/Trap card from your deck to your hand. Once per turn, you can reveal a level 5 or higher monster; this turn you can Normal Summon or Set an additional Level 5 or higher monster. When a Tribute-summoned monster you control is removed from the field by a card effect, draw 1 card.

 

Blame Alfred, whoever that is.

Definitely an excellent card, since it sets up the Monarchs pretty well. Being able to fetch "The Monarchs Storm Forth"  or "Return of the Monarchs", then allowing an additional Tribute Summon pretty much guarantees they can bring out a Mega-Monarch in 1 turn if they have at least one of the level 6 Monarchs in their hand. The fact you can search this card with Terraforming gives the Monarch a lot of speed, which is something they need. With just these 2 effects it is already a pretty great card, but the fact that it may also gives you a draw if should something happen to it (and not necessarily because of your opponent) makes it excellent. It pretty much combines speed, power and advantage not just for Monarchs, but for any monster.

 

Granted, not many monsters can take advantage of the "2 Tribute Summons per turn" thing, but the ability to fetch "The Monarchs Storm Forth", being a Field Spell and providing some relief in case your Tribute Summoned monster leaves a bit sooner that expected really helps Earthbound Immortals and lets Monarchs have Malefic monsters as back-up (Mainly Malefic Cyber End Dragon or Stardust). If it weren't for the fact that "The Monarchs Erupt" requires no Extra Deck, this card could be downright broken alongside Malefics.
