Last Solution:

Well, this seems to have been a rather popular puzzle, so thanks again to Drake for a wonderful puzzle

1. Activate Graceful Charity, discarding Makyura the Destructor and Z-Metal Tank.

a. Makyura’s effect activates.

2. Flip Summon Magician of Faith, using her effect to return Graceful Charity.

3. Activate Graceful Charity, discarding Roll Out and Beckoning Light.

4. Activate the first effect of Enemy Controller by tributing Golbin of Greed to take control of XYZ-Dragon Cannon.

5. Discard Two-Pronged Attack, Luminous Spark, and Dimension Fusion to activate XYZ‘s effect three times, destroying all the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragons.

6. Remove XYZ and VW from play to Special Summon VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon.

7. Use VWXYZ’s effect to remove Swords of Revealing Light from play.

8. Normal Summon X-Head Cannon.

9. Special Summon Y-Dragon Head with Frontline Base.

10. Remove X and Y from play to Special Summon XY-Dragon Cannon.

11. Activate Call of the Haunted, Special Summoning X-Head Cannon.

12. Activate Return from the Different Dimension, Special Summoning X-Head Cannon (your LP now 1100).

13. Attack directly with all monsters you control to do 3000 + 2200 + 300 + 1800 + 1800 = 9100 damage.

Final Result: Him - 0, You – 1100

Today’s alternate answer comes from JetMan0789.

1. Play Graceful Charity to get Dimension Fusion, Z-Metal Tank, and Roll Out.
2. Discard Z-Metal Tank and Makyura.
3. Flip Magician to get back Graceful and play it to get Beckoning Light, Enemy Controller, and Luminous Spark. Discard Dimension Fusion and Roll Out.
4. Play Enemy Controller, tributing Goblin of Greed to get Blue Eyes.
5. Special Summon Y-Dragon Head. Then Normal Summon X-Head Cannon.
6. Remove both X-Head and Y-Dragon to Special Summon XY-Dragon Cannon
7. Play Call of the Haunted on Chiron.
8. Discard Luminous Spark for Chiron to destroy the counter on Swords. Then discard Beckoning Light to destroy Swords using XY’s effect.
9. Play Two Pronged Attack destroying Chiron and VW-Tiger Catapult to destroy the XYZ Dragon Cannon.
1o. Play Creature Swap swapping Magician of Faith for Blue Eyes.
11. Play Return form the Different Dimension To Special Summon X-Head Cannon and Y-Dragon Head.
12. Attack Blue Eyes to Blue Eyes.
13. Attack Magician of Faith with Blue Eyes. Then attack directly with the rest for game.

You-1100 Them- -600

Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

Now I’m sorry it has been so long since I’ve posted a puzzle. As you might have guessed, Yu-Gi-Oh isn’t exactly high on my list of priorities at the moment. Once I’m back at uni I’ll try to do more judging and should probably get back into the swing of things again.

However, enough of that. This puzzle should be medium on the difficulty scale. I’m hoping the alternate answers are at a minimum as I tried to keep it straightforward. Enjoy yourselves.

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

	Final Attack Orders (face-up)
Gravekeeper’s Spy (face-down DEF)		Berserk Gorilla (face-up ATK)	Blue-Eyes White Dragon (face-up ATK)	Giant Orc (face-up ATK)
------------------	-------------------	------------------	------------------	-----------------
	Mask of Darkness (face-down DEF)	Magician of Faith (face-down DEF)	Jinzo (face-up ATK)
Ring of Destruction (face-down)				Soul Resurrection (face-down)

Your Hand:
Wicked-Breaking Flamberge – Baou, Makyura the Destructor, Monster Reincarnation, Miracle Fusion, Offerings to the Doomed

Your Life Points: 1200

Your Opponent’s Life Points: 5900

Your Deck Contains the Following Cards That You Can Obtain:
Elemental Hero Clayman, Elemental Hero Bubbleman

Your Graveyard Contains:
Windstorm of Etaqua, Ceasefire, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix, Sangan, Dark Jeroid, Elemental Hero Sparkman, Book of Moon, Swords of Concealing Light

Your Fusion Deck contains one copy of all “Elemental Hero” fusion monsters.

If Gravekeeper’s Spy’s Flip Effect is activated, your opponent will Special Summon another Gravekeeper’s Spy in Defence Position.

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

Now, having been unproductive for quite so long has meant I’ve missed out on quite a bit. Well, EOJ and POTD are good sets in my opinion, with that Panther thing in POTD catching my eye for puzzle abuse. The Dinosaur support is also a wonderful addition. As to the banned list, I’m not too sure about moving it forward a month, but the list itself looks good. Initially aggro decks should be the top of the heap, which is something I’ve always wanted. Well, that’s being hopeful. We have to wait and see:

a) how aggro fares against OTK;

b) how long it takes someone to work out how to run control this format;

c) how many traps people play.

It shall be fun finding out.

Share and enjoy,
