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:
