This month we have a double-header, with two easier puzzles to figure out! Click Read More to see this month's duel puzzles: "Day-to-Day Business"!

"When it's just another turn in your game it's way harder to find the game shot before the slowplay-police comes knocking on your door." – Riksaah, 07/06/25

"Those are the single lapses that could cost you an entire tournament." – Aalvarado, 10/21/24

Puzzles are meant to teach you to stay sharp in your real games. These two are real game examples that happened and one was in the world championship. These aren't really hard with the premise of "find lethal here". But when it's just day-to-day business, it's easy to miss the moment to win the game. A big ol' thank you to Dark Honest and Apoptosis for sending us these puzzles.

Puzzle #1

For the first challenge, you follow in the footsteps of the great
Riksaah. The board of your opponent looks harmless, but with their three cards in the hand, you never know what's waiting for you next round. And why should you? After all, you can end it here and now.

Your opponent has 3000 Life Points remaining and a Sheep Token (Beast/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in defense mode along with an attack mode Gravekeeper's Spy.

You also have a Sheep Token on the field from a previous turn and a set Metamorphosis. Your hand consists of Heavy Storm, Royal Decree, Tribe-Infecting Virus, Creature Swap, and another Metamorphosis. How do you win?

Puzzle #2

For this second puzzle, you get to look through the eyes of world champion Aalvarado. Doesn't it feel epic? You're in a good position here too. But you know how quickly the tide can turn. Especially when it comes to the title of World Champion. You are familiar with the spy on the opposing side and you also have a third one in your deck. Do you have what it takes to defeat your opponent this turn?

Your opponent is at 4000 Life Points and has a set Gravekeeper's Spy. You have a Torrential Tribute on the field set from a previous turn, as well as Mind Control, BLS, Magician of Faith, and Trap Dustshoot in your hand.
