  2. Discard Ancient Gear Soldier to activate Monster Reincarnation, returning Cannon Solider to your hand.
  3. Normal Summon Cannon Soldier.

A Word

            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.
