Can You Win in 1? (Week 8)

Subject: Can You Win in 1? (Week 8) Sat Aug 01, 2009 2:23 pm

Welcome everyone to this new event! Each week I will be posting a Duel Puzzle. For every puzzle the idea is to win the duel in 1 turn. You start in Main Phase 1, and must win by your End Phase. The puzzles will get more difficult each week, and as the puzzles get harder, the prizes will also get larger. The prize is equal to the number of stars next to the name of the challenge x 100 DP. The number of stars also indicates the difficulty of the puzzle relative to the others.

PM SOLUTIONS TO ME. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POST SOLUTIONS ANYWHERE ON THIS FORUM.

SOLUTIONS SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF A LIST OF STEPS TO WIN THE DUEL.

Example:
1. Summon monster A.
2. Activate Spell B.
3. Enter Battle Phase and attack with monster A.

YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO PM ME A SOLUTION ONE TIME PER WEEK, SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME!!

The Duel Puzzles are made entirely by me, so searching the internet for the answers to ones from videos games won't help you. You will receive 25 DP x the difficulty of the puzzle just for attempting a legitimate answer! Good luck to everyone!

4. Flip Summon a 3rd Ryko, but negate the summon with your Solemn Judgment. Use Voltanis' effect to tribute all monsters to Special Summon himself, and then use his next effect to destroy Widespread Ruin (because one of the monsters tributed was Dark Valkyria).
5. Special Summon Dark Armed Dragon. Remove from play Sangan, Van'Dalgyon, and Dark Valkyria to destroy your opponent's 3 Dimensional Prisons.
6. Special Summon Judgment Dragon.
7. Attack with all for a total 8600 dmg.

Consolation Prizes for week 4:
hamouda (Ryko's are not Fairy-type monsters so Voltanis doesn't destroy anything by tributing them)
Ichigo Hollow (you cannot negate Wulf's summoning with Solemn Judgment because Wulf's summon is not an inherent summons. It starts a chain and is considered a trigger effect)
Pilover (you cannot normal summon both Dark Valkyria and Tribute Summon Celestia in the same turn)
Techo (Voltanis only destroys cards equal to the number of Fairies you tributed for him, and Ryko is a Beast)

DP will be sent out and the next puzzle will be posted shortly! The next puzzle is also going to be a very difficult one, but after that I promise in the future there will be some easier puzzles as well. Keep trying 'em everyone and remember that you still win DP even if you don't send the correct answer!
