implosion's puzzle

No pets.

Your deck must be a mono.

At the beginning of your opponent's first turn, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1) You must have no creatures in play.
2) Your opponent must have taken 45 damage.
3) You must have no cards in hand and six quanta of any kind (they should be generated by your quantum towers).
4) The only cards left on your side of the field in any way are two quantum towers.
5) All damage done to your opponent must have been dealt through creatures.
6) You may only have up to 3 creatures at once.

Can we do that?

[Krahhl]

That sounds good, Essence.

Except I don't have a solution to implosion's puzzle, so I can't fill the Your solution here section.

I looked through every entropy and other card, and saw no combination that could meet all the requirements. Aether can't stack enough damage, and no other element can deal damage with creatures and have them die on the first turn.

[kurathedog]

Thinking, perhaps you could poisen a creature enough for it to die...
But only LS can do that.
Thought about voodoo doll, but there are no big damage spells in darkness
eclipse + LS stacking? nah

[Krahhl]

Chaos seed can poison. I still can't think of an answer with that, but I'm putting it out there, 1 health + poison = dead after attack.

[ddevans96]

This probably has something to do with pandemonium.

[Krahhl]

Well... considering I don't know if the mechanic works that way and it would take a pretty arduous test to determine it, I'll just say you don't need pandemonium. The rest of what you said may or may not be on the right track.

Also, there just doesn't seem to be enough quanta to fit in pandemonium with only 2 towers.

[kurathedog]

hmm...
2 towers for 6 
mutate abomination into ?lava golem? 5/1 4
double seed to 3 golems  2
hmm... nowhere near enough
remember, mutate and pet are ALWAYS unupped

No pets.

Your deck must be a mono.

At the beginning of your opponent's first turn, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1) You must have no creatures in play.
2) Your opponent must have taken 45 damage.
3) You must have no cards in hand and six quanta of any kind (they should be generated by your quantum towers).
4) The only cards left on your side of the field in any way are two quantum towers.
5) All damage done to your opponent must have been dealt through creatures.
6) You may only have up to 3 creatures at once.

Well, OK, let's work backwards.

If the opponent has taken 45 damage, and only 3 creatures are allowed at once, then each creature has to deal 15 damage.

You have to put down 2 QTs, so you have 6 quanta and 5 cards to create 3 15|0 creatures and/or 3 15|1 poisoned creatures. 


....30 minutes later, I give up.  I don't think it can be done.

[Krahhl]

Nope. A 11|0, 15|0, and 19|0 will do it. Easily enough achieved by TUing a mutant spark, since its attack can increase by 4 each time. The problem is how to get rid of the original 7|0 spark within the 6 quanta/7 card limit.

Ah, forgot about tu mutant
hmm....
pillar 3
pillar 6
abomination 5
mutate into (7+4)/1 phoinex with random ability 4
chaos seed poisons it 3
chaos seed tu's it (11+4)/1 2
chaos seed tu's it (15+4)/1 1
All three die at the end, for 11+15+19 damage ftw
Woot.

My puzzles still stand:
Lose coin toss against fg, fg plays nothing, one hit kill.
End your first turn with 63 cards (win toss)
Lose in as few turns as possible (opponent doesn't help)

This is my exact solution. Good job .
