When this creature enters, you become the monarch. Whenever an opponent becomes the monarch, if you were the monarch as the turn began, that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.

"Hail to the true queen! Long may she reign!"

Rulings (5)

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.”

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.

The last ability of Knights of the Black Rose will trigger even if the most recent monarch was another player, as long as you were monarch as the turn began.
