There are quite a few variants this week. Most of them are based around the basic ideas of these three solutions.

Ruddy heck, Yu-Gi-Oh’s changed a lot since I last looked. Well, actually, it hasn’t moved that far. The big tournaments still seem to mostly be won by a certain Sorcerer. Well, at least Stein sneaks in every so often. I’ll try to keep producing these puzzles, despite my utter lack of play, mostly because Vs. doesn’t lend itself particularly well to puzzles. I also like your emails, which I got tons of last time.

I hope you lot continue to enjoy these as much as I enjoy making them. It’s just a matter of time now (getting job over summer).

Your Graveyard Contains:
Dust Tornado, A Rival Appears!, Enemy Controller, A Feather of the Phoenix, Shooting Star Bow – Ceal, Mobius the Frost Monarch, Drillroid, Airknight Parshath

If you draw a card, unless you know exactly what it is, it shall be a Thousand-Eyes Idol.

If Kycoo’s effect is activated, your opponent will select the monsters in your Graveyard with the highest ATK.

I’m thinking about a BOG card called, “The Almighty Cookie Killer.” Any recommendations for card text and any submissions for its artwork (a battle-ready cookie would be nice or a biscuit attacking a Spirit Reaper) are gladly accepted. The best entries will be used in the next article with your name in big bold letters (provided I get some).
