Faramir, Steward of Gondor

Most monarch payoffs ask you to fight for the crown with combat damage or a dedicated enabler, then defend it. Here the crown arrives as a byproduct of the board you were already assembling: any legendary creature you control with mana value 4 or greater re-crowns you when it enters, so every heavyweight cast, blinked, or reanimated big legend hands the throne back if it has slipped away. That reframes the monarch from a fragile one-time coronation into a resource you can repeatedly reclaim, which changes the math on how freely you let it change hands. The end-step trigger then stacks board presence on top of the crown's inherent card draw rather than in place of it: you still draw for being the monarch, and you also net two 1/1 Soldiers a turn, chip value that doubles as a defensive wall. Those bodies are the point, since a wide board deters the attack that would take the crown off you. The 2/2 frame is the tax that stops this from standing alone: it can't hold the throne by itself and wants a court of expensive legends around it to keep the trigger firing. As a piece of Azorius design it's notable for hanging an incidental payoff off a legendary-matters axis that both colors engage without any combat trigger, and for giving the monarch a mechanism to answer its own structural weakness the moment someone else knocks you off the throne.
