Great Job, you're on TV! [Monovision - An Anime Final Boss Deck] [Written] [19/19]

[VCR_CAT]

Monovision-- a theme I made inspired by the final boss villains of the Yugioh Animes

Monovision is an old theme I had designed to be the final villain's deck in a fan-fic I was planning at the time. The core idea is heavily inspired by Pegasus's Relinquished strategy during the latter half of his final duel, but when I revisited the theme I retooled how it functioned and made something a little different.

Monovision is a series of DARK Pendulum Fiends, Machines, and Illusions that enslave your opponent's monsters and turn them into zombies. The playstyle is meant to be very much one that allows you to toy with your opponent at all stages of its gameplay, instead of a focus on turbo-your-boss or early game locks. While the deck does have bosses and a potential to combo them out quickly, I found it more interesting to imagine the deck how it would appear in anime episodes and how its full strategy and capabilities could unfold over the course of one or more duels. The lore and flavor design is entirely around television and CRT-TV's. With that said, let's dive into it!
