Ohhhhh, good battle
I like both very much, but I'm gonna give the edge to the Monarchs. Elegant design all the way around.

I like both, but Artifice has had a few decks that to me were clunkers - the original print of purple and the Tundra/Ghost deck. I haven't been disappointed in a single Monarch deck.

Fell in love with the Monarchs tuck design...and they haven't totally beaten the colour reiterations to death yet. Don't get me wrong, I really like my Artifice decks, but not enough to beat out the Monarchs

Both cool decks.
But Monarchs win hands down for me. I prefer both their handling and their design.
Also, Monarchs were in a movie, can the artifice claim that?

Funny you were the one to post after me; I was almost going to say in my above post.
Monarchs hands down beat most decks I can think of - the only thing at the moment that I think may give them a run for their money are the fed 52 decks but I have no idea how the fed 52s handle, can't wait for the part 2 to arrive down under

Here is the thing I like about the Monarchs. If you buried the monarchs and let 200 years pass and someone dug them up they would still be a great deck as well as the design would still hold up.
However IMO artifice is already dated.
Monarch = Times New Roman or Helvetica
Artifice = Comic Sans or Marker Felt

Your math is off - it's a 3:1 ratio... And again, you forgot to lock voting!
