Use her effect to return Overload Fusion to your
hand.
Discard Ancient Gear Soldier to activate Monster
Reincarnation, returning Cannon Solider to your hand.
Normal Summon Cannon Soldier.
Tribute all monsters you control to activate Cannon
Soldier’s effect four times, doing 500 * 4 = 2000 damage (his LP now
14,400).
Makyura’s effect activates.
Remove Ancient Gear Soldier, Cannon Soldier, Steamroid,
and Cyber Dragon from play to activate Overload Fusion, Special Summoning
Chimeritech Overdragon.
Pay 50 Life Points to activate Return from the
Different Dimension, Special Summoning all monsters removed from play.
Discard Mystical Space Typhoon and Giant Trunade to

opponent controls, doing (800 * 4) * 4 – 1600 – 2300 – 2100 – 2000 = 4800
damage (his LP now 9600).
Attack directly with all other monsters you control,
doing 1300 + 1400 + 2100 + 1800 = 6600 damage (his LP now 3000).
Tribute all monsters you control other than Cannon
Soldier to activate Cannon Soldier’s effect, doing 4 * 500 = 2000 damage
(his LP now 1000).
Remove Cyber Dragon and Cannon Soldier from play to
activate Overload Fusion, Special Summoning Chimeritech Overdragon.
Tribute all monsters you control to activate Cannon
Soldier’s effect, doing 2 * 500 = 1000 damage.
Final Result:Him - 0, You – 100
An alternative solution was given by Gustavo Melges:
1. Activate Spell Reproduction discarding Monster Reincarnation and Mystical Space
Typhoon. Get Overload Fusion from Graveyard.
2. Flip Faith and get Ancient Gear Drill from Graveyard.
3. Summon Ancient Gear Soldier
4. Activate Ancient Gear Drill, discarding Return from D.D. and get Limiter Removal. Set it on the field.
5. Activate Giant Trunade
6. Activate Overload Fusion ---> remove from field: Cyber Dragon, Ancient Gear Soldier and remove from Graveyard: Cannon Soldier and Steamroid. Summon Chimera Overtech Dragon with 4 fusion material: 4x atk 3200
7. Activate Limiter Removal: Chimera's atk goes to 4x 6400
Hello everyone. No I’m not dead. I’m at uni.
I’ve been quite enjoying myself here. I would recommend university to anyone
interested, as it is fantastic. It’s given me the chance to try out plenty of
things I would have never gone near with a ten-foot pole two years ago. However,
as you’ve noticed, to do these new things, I ended up not doing some other
things.
It always took me at least two hours to write
one of these, up to four for the more challenging ones. It isn’t easy and doing
it regularly requires a creative brain that works on demand. Mine is neither,
and I give my respects to the various people that write puzzles on other
websites regularly – ones good enough to give prizes to the first people to
solve them! I just didn’t want to spend the time on this anymore.
I rather dragged things out as of late, holding
out that one day some Yu-Gi-Oh players might actually move anywhere near uni and
I would get back into the game enough that I could come up with some new
puzzles. This obviously isn’t happening, so I’m calling this the end of these
articles. If anyone else wants to post puzzles, post them on the message boards,
and if you’re any good, I’m sure Pojo will call you.
I greatly enjoyed my time with the site. I got
to chat with plenty of interesting people, learned a lot about writing articles
and card games, and seemed to have made a difference to roughly six people. I
consider this a success. I might not be playing Yu-Gi-Oh anymore, but I do keep
an eye on message boards and the judge list as I have every intention of
continuing to judge. Ray permitting, I’ll be walking around the UK nationals
this year decked out in full black and some sore feet.
Also, I’ll keep chucking my random opinions at
CotD until either Pojo gets bored of me or the message boards hold a revolution
and kick my sorry butt off (I know some people like Five-Headed Dragon, but I
just don’t like cards that require complicated summoning if they don’t say “You
win the game.”). Finally, I’m still in card games, if you had any doubts. At the
moment I’ve got decks for WoW, Vs, Yugioh, Battlestar, Age of Empires, Simpsons,
and the Spoils filling my floor. Hopefully I’ll still see some of you around.
Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:
Well, this is another puzzle done by Drake. It
isn’t to bad, so hopefully a few of you will enjoy it. The answer is at the
bottom of the puzzle this time.
