Entropy nymph.

Analysis: Cards needed: 4 chrysora, at least 3 Qtowers, Nymph tears, Sor. You have 9 cards to work with (7 hand, draw on turns 2 and 3). Hence those are all the cards you can use.
Aether and entropy nymphs must be made by turn two. Because you only have one tears to work with, You must make the queen on TURN ONE, then use it's ability twice before turn 2 ends (summoning sickness). I see no solution, unless I have the summoning sickness wrong.

Turn 1: Nymph queen, Sor it
Turn 2: Turn pillar into entropy nymph, some chrysoras
Turn 3: Antimatter your nymph, Turn pillar into aether nymph, remaining chrysoras.
Turn 4: Quint nymph.
Turn 5: conditions met.

^ You didn't mention any quanta usage. Since part of the puzzle requires you to

have only 1 quanta from your mark

, you need to be sure to achieve that.

[kurathedog]

I was claiming it is impossible (from this angle), and now I still do.
Reasoning:
You have a 7 card hand, and draw on turns 2 and 3 (can't play card from turn 4). You have 9 cards to work with.
To use both the entropy and aether nymph, You must make them both by turn 2.
Your queen must make the other two nymphs, and hence must come a turn earlier, namely turn 1.
Turn 1: Nymph queen, Sor it
Turn 2: Turn pillar into entropy nymph, some chrysoras
Turn 3: Antimatter your nymph, Turn pillar into aether nymph, remaining chrysoras.
Turn 4: Quint nymph.
Turn 5: conditions met.

This is one turn AFTER your requirements. I don't care about quanta.
Hence you must have 2 nymph tears, or a tears and a queen.
2 tears is impossible, as that takes 10 cards (4 chrysora, 3 pillar, sor, 2 tears)

So you must use queen, tears, and ONLY 2 towers.
With 2 towers, you can't play your queen turn 1. Hence you must play it turn 2 earliest. Hence one of the three nymphs comes out on turn 3, earliest. It can use it's abilites on turn 4, one turn too late.

No solution, Q.E.D.

Of course, i could be missing someting obvious

[Krahhl]

Um, you are missing something, though I might not call it obvious.

New Puzzle

Win the coin toss, use a mono deck and matching mark that’s not entropy, start with no pet. Before playing any cards on your fourth turn, have only 1 quanta from your mark, 1 card you just drew, no pillars, played four creatures of 1 quanta cost, and the ability to destroy your opponent’s pillars for the rest of the game without drawing any more pillars yourself no matter what your opponent does. Your opponent draws only pillars for his first three turns.

Go use the ability.

This is just my wording fail, not part of the puzzle I want you to solve, so.

New cards, new puzzles.

Go first, no pets.

At the start of your 4th turn, before you draw, be able to lock down a False God (i.e. keep him from drawing any more cards.)

10 cards...

3 QT, 2 nightmares, 1 eternity, 1 photon, 1 card FG won't be able to play, 2 PA
starting hand: 3 QT, photon, nightmare, a low cost card FG can't play, PA.
1st turn, play 3 QT's, and PA them.
False god plays all his cards. (Draw: nightmare) (Hand: Photon. 2*nightmare, a low cost card FG can't play, PA.
Play *low cost card FG can't play*. Nightmare it. (Hand: Photon, nightmare, PA)
False God discards one of those. (draw:eternity)
Play photon. Nightmare it. Play eternity, PA it. (Hand: PA, Eternity)

Not sure if this counts, but you keep rewinding the photon that he plays. If AI knows not to play nightmared Photons, then change photon to a low cost creature that AI will have the quanta to always play (via mark).

You mean RoL right?? Cause FGs play upped only. And btw, when you play nightmare, the AI plays creatures after 2nd turn. But still, your solution counts

You can nightmare an unupped photon to the false god and he will play it.

[lukce]

Oh yeah...that

[kurathedog]

Actually...

I tried nightmare photon with upped reflective shield against decay, to see if he fractals it.
He didn't even play them when i have my shield out.
So you need to have healing too, or does that not matter?
