Is it that hard to get my name right? Or are you just not trying?

Kidding, of course.


Your solution works. But I had something..harder..in mind. So same puzzle, with a tiny change.

You can't TU a 5|1 from a 0|1. Only 4|1. You still get enough damage though. Speaking of damage, I made a mistake adding (..fail), so you only have to do 30.


Puzzle

Lose coin toss. Start with no pet or creature cards in hand and use a mono deck. End with no cards in hand, no creatures on the board for both sides, and no quanta except those produced by pillars/mark. Deal 30 damage to your opponent; have yourself at full health.

One of your pillars must be non-quantum. I feel like I'm giving you too much quanta to work with here.

Also, your opponent must be AI. No one's playing the "Your opponent casts thunderbolt on himself" card.

[kurathedog]

No, he means one of the rules is no duplicate cards.

His puzzle doesn't say that.
I think he thought I played one card twice.
What's wrong with my solution?

Edit. He posted that ^ the same time I posted this.

Weeee, more blowing up my brain.

Essence's Puzzle
Using a mono deck and starting with no pet and no zero-cost creatures in your hand, end your turn with 2 pillars and nothing else -- no creatures, cards in hand, permanents, or quanta -- and your opponent at 67 HP.

No multiple copies of any card except towers.

Um, but it does?


For my guess, I'll assume mark doesn't count as a permanent or pillar? Since it..stacks on your mark.

2 quantum towers
1 entropy mark
1 micro abomination
1 mutate
1 pandemonium
1 chaos seed

7
Mutate the abomination into a 7|0 spark; pandemonium and chaos TU 11|0 and 15|0.

Sorry for the name...

2xQuantum T
2XEntropy T
1xImpro Mutation
1xPandemonium
2xChaos Seed


Opponent plays a chrysaora.

You mutate it. 7|0 spark.
Chaos Seed it. 11|0
Chaos Seed it. 15|0
Pandemonium. Kill opponent's, Tu both yers. Deal 11+15+19+23

[Krahhl]

Nah it's cool about the name. I was just poking some fun.


Hmm. Pandemonium and chaos seed are too versatile. I really should think of all possibilities before posting my puzzle...

Try it without them.

I know it seems like I'm being kind of picky with answers, but what I had in mind is so completely different that it could be entirely another puzzle with more limitations. Like no entropy.

Your opponent does not have enough quanta / towers to summon a creature. You play six Ball Lightnings and two Aether Pillars. Amirite?

[Baily18]

^No, you need to start with no creature cards.

[Krahhl]

If it was that easy, ... . I don't even know.

But yeah. What Baily said.

[Wat?]

Ah. :c

I misread it.

What about Holy Flashes x 5, Light Pillars x 3, while your opponent has a death mark, with a death creature?

Holy Flash x 3 to do 30 damage, another Holy Flash to kill the creature, yet another one to heal you, and the light pillars because nothing else is needed. I believe this would fit the bill?

[Krahhl]

Holy flashes don't damage players. Ever. Regardless of their mark.

[Wat?]

Hm.

Feeling noobish right now. :x

[Krahhl]

Ah it's okay, we all make silly errors. If you read through the thread a bit, people have tried to holy flash players expecting it to damage them before.
