This card would be beneficial in a control or defensive deck strategy that aims to protect the player and maintain control of the monarch status. While Protector of the Crown offers a unique ability to redirect damage, it may not be the most efficient choice compared to other options like Stuffy Doll or Solemn Simulacrum, which offer additional benefits or versatility. However, in a specific meta or strategy focused on protecting the player and maintaining the monarch status, Protector of the Crown could see play as a niche inclusion.

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

If you control more than one Protector of the Crown, you choose which redirection effect to apply. You can’t divide damage dealt by one source. For example, if an attacking creature would deal 6 damage to you and you control two Protectors of the Crown, you may have that damage dealt to either of the Protectors. You can’t have 3 damage dealt to each one.

08/23/16

Protector of the Crown’s last ability doesn’t depend on you being the monarch. It will create a redirection effect even if an opponent is the monarch.
