Video Villain is an Archetype consisting of mostly Pendulum Monsters, with one Effect Monster. They focus on various things, though mostly their gimmick of having Master Planner banished for various effects and to get out their Xyz Monsters more easily, that are also Pendulum Xyz Monsters BTW, as well as Tribute Summoning. As said, you want Master Planner banished at all times for their effects, however it effect will either banish itself if in the GY or return itself to your GY during the End Phase without your input, so while they have various ways of banishing it before its effect activates during your End Phase. The reason to do this is mainly to get out their boss monster, Ultimate Evil, a powerful Rank 6 which normally requires 3 monsters, but can be put out once per turn with only 1 monster instead. They also have ways of using Tribute Summoning a lot with Tape, or performing an additional Pendulum Summon with Cult Leader. Video Villain monsters are based on various TV and movie villain tropes and general character traits, while the Spells/Traps are based on things related to VHS and VCR, and they are Cyberse due to them feeling weird to me as Machine or anything else, even if Cyberse may not be the most accurate for this theme, and since we currently have no Pendulum Cyberse monsters, I figured it would be fun. Like my Sinistar Archetype, these use the new format, which is mostly the same due to these being Pendulum Monsters, however they have Xyz Monsters as well, which can be put in the Main Monster Zone.

Sinistar is an Archetype of Level 4 Fairy/DARK monsters. They focus on Xyz Summoning, using effects in your opponent's turn and negating effects. Each Main Deck Monster has a Quick Effect that can only be activated in the opponent's turn, which is boosted if you control one of their Xyz Monsters in your Extra Monster Zone, and another Quick Effect that discards itself and another Sinistar card to Specials Summon a copy of itself from the Deck. The Xyz Monsters all have an effect that state "While this card is in your Extra Monster Zone, negate the effects of the turn player's monsters in their Main Monster Zone", which doesn't mean much to you for the most part, as most effects only work in the opponent's turn, and Sinistar Tegmine is even supported by having its effects negated, as it normally has an effect that halves its ATK while you control more monsters than your opponent, with it becoming a 3000 ATK powerhouse while negated, and playing the Xyz Monsters together provides a powerful force. Along with that, they have powerful Spells/Traps, the primary support card being the Continuous Trap called Sinistar Sloth, which let's you Xyz Summon in the opponent's turn and can end the Battle Phase as well, and also Sinistar Wrath, which boosts the ATK of your Xyz Monsters by 1000 for each monster your opponent controls, but locks down attacks from any of your other monsters, unless you use the build in effect that switches the equipped card to another Xyz Monster. Their name is a portmanteau and pun on a few things, Sinister, referencing the DARK Attribute, Sin, referencing the Spells/Traps being based on the seven deadly sins, and Star, referencing the monsters, which of course are based on the proper name of stars. As the title says, this Archetype uses the new Master Rules that will become the standard on April 1st 2020, which in short means that you no longer need Link Monsters to Special Summon Extra Deck monsters to the Main Monster Zone, so this Archetype plays around with that concept, by utilizing both the Extra Monster Zone and the Main Monster Zones in a way that would be significantly harder previously.
