vs. Grixis Affinity
Let's start by talking about a matchup with a small problem: our opponent has indestructible lands! Here, we are going to suffer a bit because we don't have many targets for our LDs, but overall, it's not a bad match because today's Affinity has fewer creatures, and we will stick to the Monarch plan to try to win the game.Side in:

vs. Boros Gates
Since we talked about a deck with lands that we're not going to destroy, let's talk about a deck that has the lands everyone wants to destroy: Basilisk Gate. Basilisk Gate arrived very well in Pauper and gained its space in many decks, but has been very successful in Boros and is a strong staple currently, being a good target for our LDs. In this matchup, we have to be a cautious with the Monarch, since our opponent ends up having many creatures and our removals are all targeted. On the post-side, we have two good cards, Crypt Rats and the recently released Arms of Hadar.Side in:

vs. Burn
As always for a MonoBlack, playing against Burn isn't great, but at Game 1 we will stick to the LD and try to play as many Chittering Rats as possible to delay our opponent.Ad

vs. Faeries
Here we have a very complicated game where we either start well or everything goes awry quickly. Some important points here are: be on the play, get an LD as soon as possible and, of course, avoid Spellstutter Sprite. A good tip is to aim the LDs on lands that aren't islands, such as destroying the duals, Mountains or Swamps to avoid their removals.Side in:

vs. Mono Black Ponza
Being on the play in this matchup is the most important part of the game, and it is preferable to cast the first LD. Those two points increases your odds greatly.Side in:
