Description: Teddies feature the potential to manipulate LP loss for combos and enhanced effects. The deck centers around Pendulum Summoning in order to Synchro Summon the main boss monsters, making it a somewhat Aggro deck, since each Synchro Summon allows you to plus due to Pendulum Summoning.

Strategy: The main strategy of Teddy is to make sure you can Pendulum Summon the correct materials for a Synchro Summon, and later make sure your opponent cannot harm your side of the field through effects of the Synchro Monsters. Once ready, the deck can make offensive endeavors, due to the buffing field spell and the potency of 5 monsters on board.

 

Support: Dark support serves helpful. "Caligo Claw Crow" can be used to synchro summon T.G. Hyper Librarian and Beelze, which are both useful for different reasons. "Edge Imp Sabres" could be used, although that may hinder the deck more so than help. Crush Card and Deck Devastation Virus could be used to further lock the opponent, although the options are somewhat limited. Wavering Eyes is certainly a must, and if you have trouble with consistency, Luster Pendulum the Dracoslayer will help.

 

Lore: This picture started it all:

 

Post-Testing: Ok so uh there are a lot of resources. Like a lot.

With Torture, you can easily go plus 2 for no reason, not to mention that any Pendulum deck is rendered completely useless against Dream Destroyer and/or Traitor. Monarchs would have a hard time dealing with them because of the mass amount of effect negation potential in the deck and Monarchs' heavy reliance upon going first to prevent Extra Deck plays. Dream Destroyer with a boost from searchable Torture doesn't care about Dark Destroyer at all, since it's 100 ATK higher and can tribute to dodge its targets. 

Fortunately, it can be stopped with Kaiser Coliseum or a turn 1 True Monarchs. Pepe could recover given it had enough resources itself a la Wavering Eyes, but a 3 non-searchable is hard to compete with 3 non-searchable, 3 searchable, and 3 extra deck ones. 

One of the worst things you can do to yourself is let the player survive with few LP. A late game Damsel is guaranteed to win unless its effect is negated and a magic cylinder or burning mirror force is used as a response. Did I mention you can get 2 on board in one turn with enough pluses?

Anyway, they're also immune to Twin Twisters while you control one of the monsters, and can still make synchro plays without Pendulum Summoning. That means that anything made to stop pendulums particularly (such as Anti Spell Fragrance, Nat Beast, etc)...won't (easily).
