Thorn of the Black Rose would be beneficial in a deck focused on controlling the board and maintaining card advantage, as becoming the monarch provides a steady stream of card draw. However, there are potentially better cards for this role, such as Grave Titan or Massacre Wurm, which offer more immediate impact and board presence. Thorn of the Black Rose could see play in certain control or midrange decks looking to generate incremental advantage over time.

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.
