When Cards Collide
By Ryoga 

2: Destruction All ‘Round, Baby!
Edit 1: Arithmetic is not studied in higher mathematics

Last Solution:  

  1. Pay 1000 Life Points to activate Skill Drain (your LP now 3200).
  2. Activate Change of Heart, targeting Mataza the Zapper.
  3. Activate Mystical Space Typhoon, targeting Skill Drain.
  4. Activate Axe of Despair, equipping your opponent’s Spirit Reaper. It is destroyed by its own effect.
  5. Normal Summon Goblin Attack Force.
  6. Attack Berserk Gorilla with Goblin Attack Force, turning Goblin Attack Force to Defense Position, and doing 300 damage (your opponent's LP now 2800)
  7. Attack your opponent with Mataza the Zapper twice to do 5200 damage directly to their Life Points (your opponent controls Megamorph, so its effect looks at his life points).

Final Result: Him - (-2400), You - 3200

Puzzle - Win the Game in One Turn:

            Your luck is slightly better this time. Your opponent only has only one monster and no face-down cards. Annoyingly, he is on 10,600 Life Points due to that almightily of cards, Nimble Momonga. You do have a Ring of Destruction face-down, but rather disturbingly for you are only on 1900 LP. All looks grim, so how can you win?

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Berserk Gorilla (face-up ATK)

Ring of Destruction (face-down)

Destruction Ring (face-down) 

 

 

 

 

Your Hand: 
    Premature Burial, Tremendous Fire, Enemy Controller

 

Your Life Points:                                    1900

Your Opponent’s Life Points:                10,700 

Your Deck Contains the Following Monsters You Can Obtain: 
            Magical Scientist, Jinzo, Berserk Gorilla, Cannon Soldier, Gemini Elf, Man-Eater Bug


Your Graveyard Contains the Following Cards: 
            Raigeki, Last Will, Spear Dragon, Call of the Haunted, Dark Hole


Your Fusion Deck Contains Only: 
            Dark Flare Knight 

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

 

            My solution will be in the next issue, though it is unlikely to be the only solution. For your further entertainment, what those cards above actually do:

8/7/5 (the British way, day first): Dear god this is basic. Now I know where all those people that send in puzzles with meaningless cards got the idea. I removed them (your opponent used to have a graveyard).
