When Cards Collide

47: Sacrifices

Last Solution:

Flip Summon Magician of Faith.

Use her effect to add Enemy Controller to your hand.

Tribute Magician of Faith to activate Enemy Controller’s second effect and take control of Chiron the Mage.
Discard Mystic Plasma Zone to activate Chiron the Mage’s effect to destroy Royal Decree.
Activate Book of Moon, targeting Chiron the Mage.
Flip Summon Chiron the Mage.
Discard Nobleman of Crossout to activate Chiron the Mage’s effect to destroy Sakurestu Armor.
Discard Blade Knight to activate Monster Reincarnation. Return Mystic Tomato to your hand.
Normal Summon Mystic Tomato.
Pay 800 Life Points to activate Premature Burial. Special Summon and equip Blade Knight (your LP now 700).
Activate Metalmorph, equipping Blade Knight.
Have Mystic Tomato attack Gigantes. Mystic Tomato is destroyed and you take 500 damage (your LP now 200).

Use Mystic Tomato’s effect to Special Summon Cannon Soldier.

Have Blade Knight attack Gigantes to do 1600 + 400 + 300 + (1900 / 2) – 1900 = 1350 damage (his LP now 6650).

Gigantes’s effect activates.
Berserk Gorilla returns to your control.
Blade Knight is destroyed

Attack directly with all three monsters for 2000 + 1800 + 1400 = 5200 damage (his LP now 1450).
Tribute all monster on your side of the field to activate Cannon Soldier’s effect three times to do 3 * 500 = 1500 damage.

Final Result: Him – (-50), You – 200

And, like any good puzzle, here’s an alternate solution:
”
This has been a VERY fun puzzle. Here's my solution:

1. Flip Magician of Faith and take Enemy Controller from the graveyard.
2. Play Enemy Controller. Sacrifice Magician of Faith and take control of Chiron the Mage.
3. Play Premature Burial. Pay 800 LP (700 LP) to summon Mystic Tomato from your graveyard.
4. Play Mystic Plasma Zone. The only Dark monster on the field, Mystic Tomato, gains 500 ATK (1900 ATK).
5. Summon Blade Knight to the field. You still have Nobleman of Crossout, Book of Moon, and Monster Reincarnation in your hand. You'll need to burn some cards to raise Blade Knight's effect. So let's do that. You can set those three spells if you like, or you could take the fun way and use them some.
6. Play Monster Reincarnation. Toss out Book of Moon from your hand to move Dark Ruler Ha Des to your hand.
7. Activate Chiron's effect. Toss out Nobleman of Crossout from your hand to destroy Sakuretsu Armor. Now you only have Ha Des in your hand, so Blade Knight now has 2000 ATK. We're good to go.
8. Attack Berserk Gorilla with Mystic Tomato. You lose 100 LP (600 LP), but you summon Cannon Soldier from your deck to the field. It also gains 500 ATK thanks to Mystic Plasma Zone (1900 ATK).
9. Attack Gigantes with Cannon Soldier. Your opponent loses 200 LP, and Gigantes's effect activates. All m/t on the field are destroyed. This means Royal Decree, Metalmorph, Mystic Plasma Zone, and most importantly, Snatch Steal, are all destroyed.
10. With Snatch Steal gone, Berserk Gorilla returns to your side of the field. Attack your opponent directly with Blade Knight (5800 LP).
11. Attack your opponent directly with Berserk Gorilla (3800 LP).
12. Attack your opponent directly with his own monster, Chiron the Mage (2000 LP).
13. Enter Main Phase 2. Use Cannon Soldier's effect to sacrifice Blade Knight, Berserk Gorilla, Chiron the Mage, and Cannon Soldier itself to deal 2000 damage to your opponent. You win. Don't forget to thank your opponent for helping you beat him.

Moral of the story: Your opponent's strength will often be turned against him/her.

Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

Well, to start this puzzle I’m using a mechanic I thought of ages ago and forgot about. A kind reader reminded me of it, so I decided to use it. I apologise for not remembering the name. As such, you start your turn resolving the effect of Big Eye. Sort your Deck into any order you like. Then you’ll probably use Pot.

Mentioning Pot of Greed, whenever Americans mention it, they make jokes about pot, the drug. Across the pond, the jokes are always related to greed. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t heard one person say ‘Pothead’ when it is used. But maybe that’s just me…

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


	Granmarg the Rock Monrch (face-up ATK)		Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (face-up ATK)
------------------	-------------------	------------------	------------------	-----------------
Mask of Darkness (face-down DEF)				Big Eye (face-up ATK [just Flip Summoned])
		Ultimate Offering (face-up)

Your Hand:
Pot of Greed, Bazoo the Soul-Eater, Back to Square One, Creature Swap, Des Counterblow, Makyura the Destructor

Your Life Points: 1100

Your Opponent’s Life Points: 9800

The Top Five Cards of Your Deck Are:
Return from the Different Dimension, Metamorphosis, Book of Taiyou, Monster Reincarnation, Dark Jeroid

You start your turn by resolving the Flip Effect of Big Eye. You must sort the above cards into any order desired (if you e-mail me, please make it obvious which card is the top).

Your Graveyard Contains:
D. D. Assailant, Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast, Exiled Force, Waboku, Compulsory Evacuation Device

Your Fusion Deck Contains:
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, Karbonala Warrior, King Dregun

You start during your Main Phase 1 having done nothing this turn except Flip Summon Big Eye.

If you activate a Spell Card, your opponent will chain with the effect of Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8.

If you resolve Creature Swap, your opponent will select the monster on his side of the field with the lowest ATK.

This once had a Divine Wrath in it, but that created a very weird situation. If you want to find it, switch it for Des Counterblow (please don’t tell me).

Ah, Super Pot of Greed. I once saw someone use Super Pot of Greed three times in one game. If you didn’t happen to be there, Super Pot of Greed is when you activate Graceful and spend so long thinking about what to discard, both players forget what you are doing and you end up with two extra cards in your hand. Ah, super.

Share and enjoy,
