Because of the lack of defensive trap cards, some Monster Surge decks include many defensive monsters like "Battle Fader", "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" and "Tragoedia". These also make great tribute fodder for cards like the Monarchs, but also the higher level monsters can be used with "Level Eater" so that cards like "Light and Darkness Dragon" can be tribute summoned! This type of deck can also said to be the opposite of "Chain Strike" decks. Since it usually has more Spells and Traps than Monsters.
