We study D3 brane theories that are described as deformations of N=2 SCFTs. They arise at the self-intersection of a 7-brane in F-Theory. As we shall explain, the associated string junctions and their monodromies can be studied via torus knots or links. The monodromy reduces (potentially different) flavor algebras of dual deformations of N=2 theories and projects out charged states, leading to N=1 SCFTs. We propose an explanation for these effects in terms of an electron-monopole-dyon condensate.
