For fusions that have specific materials (Like flame wingman needing 1 burstinatrix + 1 avian), you can use king of the swamp to count as one of those names. But the other has to be the correct. So you can fuse king and an avian. He doesnt work for unspecified fusions, so he can't count as a dragon for five-headed, or for a hero monster for the generic hero fusions.
He only works in your hand, too. He also doesn't work for rainbow neos for the rainbow dragons because its not specific between rainbow or rainbow dark dragon.
frog monarchs are a type of deck that use treeborn frog and fishborg blaster to summon out monarchs basically every turn.
Treeborn can special itself every turn if you have no s/ts (so no traps are mandatory), and fishborg can be special summoned if you have a lvl3 or lower water. You can synchro both for a formula synchro, so you basically switch out 1 card per turn. You tribute the treeborn/fishborg/formula for the monarch, usually the only ones used are caius and raiza.
If you have the formula still, you can synchro into 8s too.
The key is to get treeborn and fishborg in the grave. Swap frog sends treeborn to the grave, and you can use foolish burial or genex undine (you'll need to run controller with it) to send one or the other. Enemy controller is also big because its a quickplay, and can be used in the standby phase. So you can tribute treeborn, take their monster, and get your treeborn back.
A big boss of the deck is light and darkness dragon, he basically shuts down your opponent. But because he HAS to negate all effects once per chain, you can't bring out treeborn unless you want to get rid of the dragon, because he will just negate it until his attack is too low to negate again.
A similar deck to monarchs are steelswarms. They abuse steelswarm scout to get out their steelswarm tributes, getting some pretty nice effects. They use dark grepher and armageddon knight to get him into the grave.
