43: Dirt
Edit 2: Good Bye Eria and Hello Life Points

Last Solution:

My answer for this one wasn’t actually that good it seems. Here is the answer from Minyu Zhou:

1. Play Shallow Grave. You summon Metallizing Parasite – Lunatite, and your opponent will summon Berserk Gorilla.
2. Play Monster Reincarnation. Toss out Double Spell. Move Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow back into your hand.
3. Unequip Z-Metal Tank from X-Head Cannon.
4. Fuse X-Head Cannon and Z-Metal Tank to create XZ-Tank Cannon.
5. Flip Magician of Faith face-up to move Metamorphosis back into your hand.
6. Play Metamorphosis. Sacrifice XZ-Tank Cannon to summon Mokey Mokey King.
7. Summon Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow.
8. Activate Ceasefire. Your Lunatite and your opponent's Berserk Gorilla will be flipped face-up, but will be kept in Defense Position. There are 5 effect monsters (Chick the Yellow, Lunatite, Mokey Mokey King, and Magician of Faith, while your opponent has Berserk Gorilla). You deal 2500 damage to your opponent's LP from Ceasefire's effect. Berserk Gorilla is in Defense Position, so it's destroyed. Your opponent now has 9400 LP.
9. Equip Lunatite to Chick the Yellow.
10. Play Mage Power and equip it to Chick the Yellow. Including Mage Power, you have 3 s/t on the field (Mage Power, Mokey Smackdown, Serial spell), so Mage power gives Chick the Yellow a 1500-ATK boost. Chick the Yellow now has 2500 ATK.
11. Lunatite makes Chick the Yellow immune to Swords Of Revealing Light's effect, so Chick the Yellow can now attack your opponent's LP directly (6900 LP). Chick the Yellow and Lunatite are destroyed, but since it's dealt damage to your opponent, use Chick's first effect and return SORL to your opponent's hand. Now your other monsters can attack.
12. Attack your opponent with Magician of Faith. It is destroyed (6600 LP).
13. Attack your opponent with Mokey Mokey King. It is destroyed (6300 LP), but you get to summon 3 Mokey Mokeys from your graveyard.
14. Attack your opponent with a Mokey Mokey (6000 LP). It is destroyed, but thanks to Mokey Mokey Smackdown, your other two Mokeys are now at 3000 ATK.
15. Attack your opponent with a second Mokey Mokey (3000 LP). It is destroyed.
16. Attack your opponent with your last Mokey Mokey. You win.

Final Score: You: 100 LP. Opponent: 0 LP

Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote one of these (for me, not you) and this one isn’t exactly clean cut. It required something I don’t normally like to use, Night Assailant. Also, this puzzle works off of two rulings. I think some of you might not know them. However, telling you what they are might give away the answer.

As such, I have put the offending rulings at the very bottom of the article (after the spoilers). Once you have an answer, make sure it does agree with the rulings at the bottom before e-mailing me.

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


Giant Rat (face-up ATK)	Injection Fairy Lily (face-up ATK)	Tribe-Infecting Virus (face-up ATK)		Night Assailant (face-down DEF)
------------------	-------------------	------------------	------------------	Gaia Power (face-up Field Spell)
			Dark Magician of Chaos (face-down DEF)
	Altar for Tribute (face-down)		Return from the Different Dimension (face-down)

Your Hand:
Makyura the Destructor, Book of Taiyou, The Shallow Grave, Monster Reincarnation, Double Spell, Double Attack

Your Life Points: 1000

Your Opponent’s Life Points: 5900

Your Deck Contains the Following Cards That You Can Obtain:
Gravekeeper’s Curse, Nimble Momonga, Nimble Momonga

Your Graveyard Contains:
KA-2 Des Scissors, Nimble Momonga, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Mystical Space Typhoon, Nobleman of Crossout, Last Will

Your Opponent’s Graveyard Contains:
Premature Burial, Soul Release, Book of Moon, Gyaku-Gire Panda

Your Opponent’s Deck Contains two 'Giant Rat' cards.

If the effect of Night Assailant is activated, you opponent will select the monster on your side of the field with the highest attack that can still attack.

If you activate The Shallow Grave, your opponent will select the monster with the highest DEF.

If Giant Rat’s effect is activated, your opponent will select another Giant Rat, if possible.

If possible, and Injection Fairy Lily is being attacked, your opponent will activate her effect.

You start during your Main Phase 1 having done nothing this turn.

Ah, exams. When I send this out, I will have finished them and will be deep into holiday. Oh bliss.

Share and enjoy,

You can activate Altar for Tribute and select Dark Magician of Chaos, but you won’t be gaining any Life Points for the privilege as it never got to the Graveyard (source: application of Token ruling on Altar for Tribute).
Flip Summoning Dark Magician of Chaos does not activate its Spell Card fetching effect. A Flip Summon is not a Normal Summon (source: rule book, page 23, section b, paragraph 2, sentence 10).
