Puzzle #1 - Sequencing Our very first position comes from the legend himself, @jeremyg_tcg ! Can you figure out how to ensure we close out the game this turn?

Puzzle #2 - Sequencing This time, a well known character in the art of sequencing! Don’t worry about the contents of your discard, there are plenty of energy. But, in the face of @jakekgearhart ’s greatest foe, how do you pull off this 4-1 comeback?

Puzzle #8 CPAO 🥶. Nothing relevant is prized, standard CPAO list. As in a real game you won’t know if your solution is the best possible - it won’t be 100% and I won’t tell you the target number. Good luck!

It’s the start of our opponent’s turn (they are about to promote). Assume there are no relevant cards left in either player’s deck. Evaluate this position - who is winning, and how?

Puzzle #6 Time has just been called, and we're turn 0. Last turn, our opponent’s poor start caused them to use Ciphermaniac’s Codebreaking as their supporter. We can assume they prepared Iono. We have plenty of energy in deck. How can we seal the win before the 3 turns are up?

Puzzle #3 Today's position is remarkably simple, and yet, in my opinion, the hardest of our puzzles so far. All cards in decks are level balls, energy in discards are depicted on screen. Good luck!

Puzzle #5 The last puzzle looked at converting a checkmate - this puzzle is about creating one. The number of choices in a midgame can make it hard to find the right direction. If you are struggling, I recommend looking at Puzzle #4 and working backwards from there.

Puzzle #10 Very realistic one today. No key resources in opp discard, potential cards like Eri must enter our calculation. Our list is Dean's from Indy. Tricky spot, was not confident in my evaluation. But I have consulted Dean himself for the best line!

Not leaking strats before NAIC, so pretty elementary puzzle today. Anyone who says Bolt has a chance vs Gardy is trippin. Convert the position. Opponent list unknown, you have standard gardy options at disposal.

Made this a little easier than intended - was supposed to be a cooler line involving dynamotor to Raikou, switch Raikou, self deckout, Rod into Generator for 2. Regardless, congrats to @ryantanyekai for finding another solution!

Updated Solution doc. Line Dean went with and I subscribe to is accepting the loss to Eri. Push for Boss this turn, and prepare for the hit off Iono. Other lines suggested were cool and close in estimated win percentage, but I still felt Dean's was the best.

@ChipRichey The assumption is definitely a little lame lol. Context @jeremyg_tcg came up with is that the opponent was not completely aware of the clock and is playing for a win. Only reasonable grab in that sense is Iono from a standard list.

@TravisB_TCG @ryantanyekai I believe @thehisanta did. However, I feel that @ryantanyekai ’s solution contains too many of the same principles (just slightly different method of accessing raikou) to give credit to my intended solution. Will always evaluate giving multiple solutions credit though.

@RyanM00129048 @BenryBrand I appreciate the feedback :)! You are correct that in slight alterations we would lose, but the position is constructed. There are always situations that cause you to lose in open boards, but the point is finding the way to close out once you reach this completely known position.
