Skyline Despot

The monarch designation is normally a fragile prize: it hands its holder an extra card each turn and asks the rest of the table to pry it loose by connecting in combat, so the crown is only as safe as the wall in front of it. This Dragon rewrites the risk profile. Seizing the crown on arrival is the trivial part; the engine is that whenever your upkeep begins and you still wear it, you mint another 5/5 flier, a token that is both a clock and a blocker. Because a hit to the monarch is the usual way the crown changes hands, a board already bristling with Dragons is the hardest one to breach, and each turn the designation survives your upkeep the airspace grows thicker. That is the loop the design turns on: the same threat that guards the monarchy is the threat the monarchy keeps producing. There is no finality counter, no token ceiling, no sacrifice tax to slow it; the only brake is somebody punching through an escalating dragon wall, or stealing the crown outright with an effect that reassigns the monarch (the card's own arrival trigger proves that route exists). Killing the Despot shuts off the token stream but reverses none of the damage: whoever holds the crown keeps it, and every Dragon already made stays on the board. As multiplayer engine-building, it is the crown finally paying off for the player who gets to keep it.
