This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on maintaining control and aggression, such as a tempo or aggro-control deck. While Keeper of Keys can provide a strong advantage by making your creatures unblockable when you're the monarch, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of your deck. Cards like True-Name Nemesis or Vendilion Clique could potentially offer more consistent and versatile benefits, but Keeper of Keys could still see play in a deck looking to secure and maintain the monarch status for a powerful advantage.

Rules

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.

08/23/16

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.

08/23/16

The last ability of Keeper of Keys 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.
