About Palace Sentinels
Palace Sentinels, Creature — human soldier, designed by Aaron Miller first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Pauper. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board and maintaining card advantage would benefit from including Palace Sentinels, as becoming the monarch provides a steady stream of card draw. While Palace Sentinels is a solid card for such a strategy, there are better options like Monarch cards that offer additional benefits or protection to the player once they become the monarch, such as Custodi Lich or Queen Marchesa. Whether Palace Sentinels should see play ultimately depends on the specific goals and playstyle of the deck, as well as the overall strategy and synergy of the cards included.
Rules
11/10/20
If combat damage dealt to the monarch causes that player to lose the game, the triggered ability that causes the controller of the attacking creature to become the monarch doesn’t resolve. In most cases, the controller of the attacking creature will still become the monarch as it is likely their turn.
11/10/20
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.
11/10/20
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. As a player becomes the monarch, the current monarch (if any) ceases being the monarch.
08/23/16
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.
