Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

This should be fun. Massive numbers of cards on my ‘blacklist’ are in this puzzle. Infinite fun (actually, this puzzle replaces a truly infinite fun puzzle: King Tiger Wanghu + Hoshiningen + Banisher of the Light + D.D. Survivor. However, you can’t start infinite loops in Yu-Gi-Oh, even if they win the game and you have a way of quitting it at some point {ie. Mystic Wok}, so don’t even try. Never. That means you).

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

Ah, it’s been to long since I used this shotgun method of making a puzzle. They seem to be popular, though, so let’s see what happens. I wouldn’t even be surprised if someone manages to trump my damage by quite a bit.

And, my continued apologies for the large and random gaps between articles. Exams and Vs. are consuming all of my time. And, once the summer comes, I should be getting a job or I'll spend next year eating exclusively soup. However, I am determined to not give up until I pass the 100 mark, so I'll keep making these. It just might take a while

Finally, congratulations to Wayne Pinkney, the new UK National Champion, you earned it mate. Also, congratulations and commiserations to Igor Kharin. Having stood behind you, I saw just how rubbish that hand was in game 2.

Share and enjoy,
