Crown-Hunter Hireling
Creature — Ogre Mercenary
When this creature enters, you become the monarch.
This creature can't attack unless defending player is the monarch.
While most in Paliano seek fame through favor, he'll settle for infamy through blood.

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.

Crown-Hunter Hireling can attack only the monarch or a planeswalker controlled by the monarch. This check is done only as attackers are declared. After that point, Crown-Hunter Hireling won't be removed from combat if that player ceases to be the monarch.

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.
