I'm not even sure how that's a competition.

A completely custom and redesigned deck with AMAZING art VS a over-hyped, recolored standard faces, run of the mill T11 deck? Nothing against the Monarchs, but hot damn. The Bohemia deck.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yes Bohemia has a superb design but Monarchs is one of our best handling modern decks, it's beautiful and leaps and bounds ahead of Bohemia in terms of practicality.

Nice to see we're getting more voters.

This was a draw and I cast the deciding vote.  Monarchs are great cards - I happen to have a pack sitting next to my keyboard at work right now, and they looked good in "Now You See Me".  But seriously - Bohemia was a work of art, created with love and passion and very much unlike most other decks on the market when it was released (and even still now).  Even putting aside that I was a consultant on the project, I voted Bohemia.
