Open SkylarkHYP opened 1 year ago

SkylarkHYP commented 1 year ago

The monkey is inside us all.

" I had goals. My aspirations and dreams were set in front of me. And I was determined to achieve them, but then the abomination came. The monkey had wrapped itself around my brain. I could hear its cymbals ring loudly through my head. It controlled my every action. It was a parasite that I could never get rid of. It was time to waste every second of my life slaving away for the monkey, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. "

Mechanics and viability

Main mechanic intents: Untouchable, contentment, grudge. Deck check: Ability to dish out damage at a steady rate, and make the most out of a hand. Basically, anti-instawin card.

Play on word of "Toy monkey", and the representation of procrastination.

If it doesn't sound like a boss torment, then it can be an act II foreboding.
