29: Psychosis of the Undead
Edit 1: Slight Change in LP

Last Solution:

It appears my comments last time about no one answering brought out the readers en mass to reply to this one. Pity not many of you got it right. It’s a tricky one, though, so don’t feel down heartened! It works by using the fact the monster has to by face-up on the field when its effect resolves to be negated. Jeff Burmeister, Michael Zaton, and Ryan Ewing worked this out and presented their answers wonderfully. All congratulations to them!

Flip Summon Magician of Faith. Her effect activates, and in response chain Ring of Destruction to destroy her. Do 300 damage to both player’s Life Points. Then, as she isn’t on the field to be negated, add Book of Moon to your hand (your LP now 600 and his LP now 2400).
Activate Creature Swap. You receive Exiled Force and he receives Witch of the Black Forest.
Tribute Exiled Force to activate his effect. Again, as he isn’t on the field his effect is not negated and you can destroy Summoned Skull.
Activate Smashing Ground to destroy Witch of the Black Forest. Use her effect to add Tribe-Infecting Virus to your hand.
Normal Summon Tribe-Infecting Virus.
Discard Monster Reincarnation from your hand and declare Warrior to activate Tribe’s effect. Chain with Book of Moon to turn Tribe face-down. Both Goblin Attack Force’s are then destroyed.
Activate Call of the Haunted to Special Summon Zaborg the Thunder Monarch.
Attack with Zaborg to do 2400 damage.

Final Result: Him - 0, You – 600

Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

Zombies! I’ve got tons of them now that I have the Zombie Madness Deck. As such, I can throw them around and have some fun! Ah, I haven’t had fun making one of these in far to long (I’ve just been on holiday, so I’m in a good mood). Legal Note: Ryoga does not use Zombies, nor does he desire to use Zombies. Neither Mataza the Zapper nor Lava Golem are Zombies and therefore Zombies are not useful to me. Yet. (18/7/5: They still ain't. Mataza hasn't failed be that badly yet, so I'm sticking with him.)

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

	Offerings to the Doomed (face-down)		Shooting Star Bow – Ceal (face-up equipping to Pyramid Turtle)
Don Zaloog (face-up ATK)	Mobius the Frost Monarch (face-up ATK)	The Fiend Megacyber (Face-up ATK)		Ameba (face-up DEF)
------------------	-------------------	------------------	------------------	-----------------
	Pyramid Turtle (face-up ATK)	Ryu Kokki (face-up ATK)
		Call of the Haunted (face-up targeting Ryu Kokki)	Exchange (face-down)

Your Hand:
Spiritualism, Premature Burial, Giant Rat, Ryu Kokki, Double Spell, The Forceful Sentry

Your Life Points: 1800

Your Opponent’s Life Points: 6200

Your Deck Contains Only the Following Cards:
Vampire Lord, Master Kyonshee, Pyramid Turtle, Regenerating Mummy

Your Graveyard Contains:
Makyura the Destructor, Pyramid Turtle, Dark Jeroid

Your Opponent’s Graveyard Contains:
Giant Trunade, Creature Swap

Your Opponent’s Hand Contains:
Emergency Provisions, Zombyra the Dark

Shooting Star Bow – Ceal is owned BY YOU.

If you activate Exchange, your answer must be correct regardless of which card your opponent chooses (i.e. you have only one card in your hand or you activate no further cards from your hand during this turn).

If you activate Creature Swap, your opponent will select the face-up monster they control with the lowest ATK. If they control Ameba, he will select that irregardless of any other monster he may control.

If Don Zaloog’s effect is used on your opponent’s Deck, consider the cards irrelevant and your opponent’s Deck infinite in size (yes, that does mean that you would be sucked into the black hole generated by infinite mass, but this is hypothetical).

If Don Zaloog’s effect is triggered while in your opponent’s control, a card will be discarded from your hand when possible.
(18/7/5: You can't do something that you can't do, so this had to change.)

If you ever play a monster with an ATK of 2000 or more that is not Vampire Lord, your opponent will activate Offerings to the Doomed, targeting that monster.

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

This puzzle is the official “No Magician of Faith” puzzle. That is the reason it was made, to not use Magician of Faith! Oh, I am professional, aren’t I? Well, if you want professionalism, go read Jaelove. Jaelove knows substantially more about gameplay than I do and writes like a Harvard Professor of English (18/7/5: And wins far more tournaments than me). If you hadn’t guessed, I owe Jaelove a favour (oh how I bow to you, Painful Choice, greatest card that I never realized was great. Obey his sage teachings).
