PLEASE NOTE:

There has been a change to the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh! For all of you that didn't read Coin Flip's article, I recommend that you do so. However, here is an introduction to what has happened.
1. You are ONLY allowed to change the battle position of a monster you control manually (without the use of any other cards or effects) once PER TURN during your MAIN PHASE.
a) Changing a position means either Flip Summoning a monster from face-down defense position to face-up attack position, turning a monster from face-up Attack Position to face-up Defense Position, or turning a monster from face-up Defense Position to face-up Attack Position.

2. However, you MAY NOT change the battle position of a monster you control if one of the following has occurred:
    a) You have already changed the battle position of that monster this turn.
    b) You have DECLARED an attack with that monster.
    c) You have Summoned that monster this turn.

This doesn't change much in general game play, but I wish to point a few things out.

1.You CANNOT do the following: -Flip Summon a monster; -Activate Book of Moon, targeting that monster; -Flip Summon the monster again.
You CANNOT do this as you have already Summoned the monster this turn.

2. You CANNOT do the following: -Declare an attack with a monster on your side of the field that you summoned on a previous turn; -Your opponent chains Book of Moon; -After the damage step, you Flip Summon the monster.
You CANNOT do this as you declared an attack with the monster. That attack might have been negated as the monster was turned to Defense Position, but that doesn't matter. You declared the attack, you can't switch battle positions.

3. You CAN do the following: -Remove the token from a Breaker the Magical Warrior you summoned during your last turn to destroy your opponent's Set card; -Your opponent chains Enemy Controller to turn Breaker to Defense Position; -After the chain resolves, turn Breaker to Attack Position and attack as if nothing had happened.
You CAN do this as your opponent activating Enemy Controller does not summon the monster, not cause it to declare an attack

I hope that is clear to everyone.

Last Solution:

On with other business, you lot enjoyed this one. I'll have to remember that...

1. Flip Summon both Magicians of Faith's. Use their effects to add Monster Reincarnation and Double Spell to your hand.

2. Discard Armed Samurai – Ben Kei to activate Monster Reincarnation, returning Dark Magician of Chaos to your hand.

3. Discard Axe of Despair to activate Double Spell, activating Spell Economics.

4. Tribute both Magicians of Faith to Tribute Summon Dark Magician of Chaos. Use his effect to add Dimension Fusion to your hand.

5. Activate Snatch Steal, equipping The Little Swordsman Aile.

6. Turn The Little Swordsman Aile to Attack Position.

7. Tribute Dark Magician of Chaos to activate the effect of The Little Swordsman Aile. Dark Magician of Chaos is removed from play.

8. Activate Dimension Fusion for free due to the effect of Spell Economics. Special Summon Dark Magician of Chaos and use his effect to add Dimension Fusion to your hand.

9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 and reasonably large number of times to make The Little Swordsman Aile have an ATK greater than about 22,000.

10. Attack a monster with The Little Swordsman Aile.

Final Result: Him - >0, You – 2100

Problem – Win the Game in One Turn:

Here is another of those puzzles not written by me. This one is quite entertaining. I thought of everything except the correct answer for about twenty minutes. I hope you lot enjoy it, you generally enjoy the ones with Chaos monsters in and you loved last week's!

21/7/5: I do apologize to readers, but this puzzle is apparently very similar to one used in World Championship 2005 by Kaiba. I don't own the game, so I wouldn't have known. If you have already completed that game, don't bother with this one.

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


Blue-Eyes White Dragon (face-up ATK)		Blue-Eyes White Dragon (face-up ATK)		Blue-Eyes White Dragon (face-up ATK)
------------------	-------------------	------------------	------------------	-----------------
		Banisher of the Light (face-up DEF)

Your Hand:
Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning, Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, Tribute to the Doomed, Dark Magician, Primal Seed, Primal Seed

Your Life Points: 2000

Your Opponent’s Life Points: 10,000

Your Graveyard Contains:
Magician of Faith, Skilled Dark Magician

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

This puzzle is also marvelous because, unlike mine, it doesn’t need too many cards to get the job done. There are only nine different cards. I’ve never been that simple, but I generally do overcomplicate things by hiding the cards you need in stupid places (all hail red herrings!). I also don’t spend many weeks writing one puzzle. I spend no more than three hours (sorry, but I do have other things to do with my time, ie. Maths).

Also, I can accept no responsibility for any similarity this puzzle may bear to anything produced by anyone else. I didn't write it and I haven't seen anyone else's puzzles.

Share and Enjoy,

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning	IOC-025	Warrior	Effect	LIGHT	8	3000	2500	U	72989439	This card can only be Special Summoned by removing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster in your Graveyard from play. Once during each of your turns, you can select and activate 1 of the following effects: - Remove 1 monster on the field from play. If you activate this effect, this card cannot attack during this turn; - If this card destroyed your opponent's monster as a result of battle, it can attack once again in a row.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon	LOB-001	Dragon		LIGHT	8	3000	2500	U	89631139	This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible. Very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale.
Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End	IOC-000	Dragon	Effect	DARK	8	3000	2500	Sec	82301904	This card can only be Special Summoned by removing one LIGHT and one DARK monster from your Graveyard from play. Pay 1000 of your Life Points to send all cards in both players hands and in play to the Graveyard. Inflict 300 points of Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points for each card that is sent to the Graveyard by this effect.
Dark Magician	LOB-005	Spellcaster		DARK	7	2500	2100	U	46986414	The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense.
Magician of Faith	MRD-036	Spellcaster	Effect	LIGHT	1	300	400	R	31560081	(Edited) FLIP: Select 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard. Add the selected card to your hand.
Primal Seed	IOC-042	Normal		SPELL				C	23701465	You can only activate this card when there is a "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy to the End" on the field. Add 2 of your cards that are removed from play to your hand.
Skilled Dark Magician	MFC-065	Spellcaster	Effect	DARK	4	1900	1700	S	73752131	Each time you or your opponent activates 1 Spell Card, put 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 3).

Tribute of the Doomed	BOG-US028	Normal		SPELL				Begging	54772668	You may activate this card during your opponent's Battle Phase when you are on 1000 Life Points or less. Give your opponent a present. Go on, get up and hug him/her hard. Compliment him/her on his/her wonderful game play and your obvious inferiority. Offering to polish his/her shoes can't go far wrong. Once your opponent is sufficiently placated (in an independent advisor's opinion), your opponent's turn ends. Skip your opponent's next turn. If you gave your opponent a real Royal Decree (and won't be asking for it back ever), you win the game.
Tribute to The Doomed	MRD-057	Normal		SPELL				S	79759861	Discard 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to destroy 1 Monster Card on the field (regardless of its position).
