Edit 1: Removed Cannon Soldier

 

Last Solution:      

  1. Tribute Summon Prenumbral Soldier Lady by offering Witch of the Black Forest as a tribute. Use Witch’s effect to add Don Zaloog to your hand.
  2. Activate Monster Reincarnation by discarding Don Zaloog to return Makyura the Destructor to your hand.
    a) Makyura's effect activates.
  3. Activate Back to Square One by discarding Makyura the Destructor to return Ameba to the top of your opponent’s Deck.
  4. Flip Summon Magician of Faith and Mask of Darkness. Use their effects to return Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted to your hand.
  5. Activate Call of the Haunted to Special Summon Don Zaloog to the field.
  6. Have Prenumbral Soldier Lady attack Zombyra the Dark, destroying both.
  7. Have Magician of Faith, Mask of Darkness, and Don Zaloog attack your opponent’s Life Points directly doing 300 + 900 + 1400 = 2600 damage (his LP now 1900). 
    a) Use Don Zaloog’s effect to discard the top two cards of your opponent’s Deck to the Graveyard .
  8. Activate Monster Reborn to Special Summon Ameba from your opponent’s Graveyard.
  9. Activate Remove Brainwashing. Ameba shifts control back to your opponent. 
    a) Its effect deals 2000 damage to your opponent.

Final Result: Him – 0, You – 300


Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

            I’ve had this puzzle in my e-mail account for the last few months. It sat there and did nothing but be a rather good puzzle. I do apologize to the author for waiting so long, but it took a while to decide if I wanted to do this or not. It is a rather fun puzzle. All I’ve done is reformat and remove the Traps and some Spells (you couldn’t use them). Apparently, this actually happened. Without further ado, I present the Machine Puzzle by Kris VDP (tony_escorpio@yahoo.com)!

 

            Your opponent’s machines have been pummeling you all match. She has Jinzo, Reflect Bounder, and Mechanical Chaser face-up on the field, and has just obliterated 3 of your Mother Grizzly’s and you left with a worthless Koitsu on your field.  

Field: (the upper part of the screen are your opponent’s cards)

 

 

Premature Burial (face-up equipping Reflect Bounder)

 

 

Jinzo (face-up ATK)

 

Reflect Bounder (face-up ATK)

 

Mechanicalchaser (face-up ATK)

-----------------

------------------

------------------

-----------------

-----------------

 

 

Koitsu (face-up ATK)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your Hand: 
           
Double Spell, Double Spell, Book of Moon, KA2 Death Scissors, Mystical Space Typhoon

 

Your Life Points:                                 1200  

Your Opponent’s Life Points:             7200

 

Your Graveyard Contains:
           
Needle Burrower, Slate Warrior, Mother Grizzly, Mother Grizzly, Mother Grizzly

 

Your Opponent’s Graveyard Contains: 
           
X-Head Cannon, Limiter Removal, Heavy Storm, Blowback Dragon, Mystical Space Typhoon, Creature Swap, Tribe-Infecting Virus, Monster Reborn

 

Your opponent has no cards in her hand.
If you activate Creature Swap, the puzzle must work regardless of which monster you receive.
Assume all coin flips will result in tails.  
You start your turn in your Main Phase 1 having done nothing this turn.

 

What do you lot think? I liked it. I get submissions like this one about ever fortnight, but (no insult meant to those who sent them) they weren’t as tricky as I might have liked. Anyone is open to send in a submission, but I have a limited amount of time to read them and only will post submissions about every three or four months/when I run out of ideas.

Also, in the Guest Writer Day mood, here is BOG-US018, as seen by Alex Cheruveli:
