To offset the inherent difficulties and costs associated with Tribute Summoning, "Monarch" support monsters provide easy Special Summons for use as Tributes and additional Normal/Tribute Summons. "Edea the Heavenly Squire" and "Eidos the Underworld Squire" for example form a simple Monarch Tribute engine, as "Edea" can Special Summon "Eidos" from the deck, whose effect in turn gives the player an extra Normal Summon for a "Monarch".
