About Skyline Despot
Skyline Despot, Creature — dragon, designed by Lucas Graciano first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 5 different ways.
A deck that focuses on maintaining control of the monarch status and generating value from creating dragon tokens would benefit from including Skyline Despot. This card is particularly strong in Commander formats where maintaining the monarch status can provide a consistent source of card advantage and board presence. While there may be more efficient dragon cards available, Skyline Despot's unique ability to generate dragon tokens each turn can make it a valuable inclusion in decks looking to establish a dominant board presence over time.
Rules
08/23/16
Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. “At the beginning of the monarch’s end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”
08/23/16
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.
08/23/16
The last ability of Skyline Despot checks to see if you’re the monarch as your upkeep begins. If you’re not, the ability won’t trigger at all. You won’t be able to do anything that would make you the monarch during your upkeep in time to have that ability trigger. The ability will also check to see if you’re the monarch as it tries to resolve. If you’re not the monarch at that time, the ability will have no effect.
