Yes And, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply, and all clues are standard.
Arrows: the sum of the digits along an arrow is equal to the digit in the connected circle, and these digits can repeat if allowed by other rules.
Renban lines: purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Entropic lines: along orange lines, every set of three adjacent cells contains one low digit (1-3), one middle digit (4-6), and one high digit (7-9).
Digits in cells with a shaded circle are odd.

Beautiful, I think it probably borders on two, but objectively there is no real hard step. It's a bit of work, but n genius ideas required.

Having solved this earlier via the newsletter, I'm a bit surprised to see this as a 1*, given some of the spots really aren't elementary. (Yes, I solved it in 13 minutes, but that's just because I've had the experience to know what to look for).
Regardless, a beautiful puzzle and my favorite from the AS volume it's presented in!

Yeah, I'm surprised too, I had it at 2*. Glad you liked it :)
