Title: Highest numbers
Post by: SomeKittens on August 29, 2011, 11:41:41 PM: What's the highest abilities you've seen on a character, and how'd it happen?

Here's my story:
My brother (Ninja Duck) RA with Gabe. Opp blocks low, plays Babel to band in 14 other EC's. Duck plays Multitude (multiply hero abilities by the number of EC's in battle). Gabe is now 150/150.

I once had 112/109 with CBN immunity and FBTNB. I don't remember exactly how it went, but it was something like this:
Caleb
Men of Judah
Army of Simeonites - Gathered
Men of Judah
Army of Simeonites - Gathered
Captain of the Host

And they all had a ton of counters. That's still not quite right, so there might be another Gathering thrown in there, a Caleb's Sword, etc. Grain Offering was played during Prep Phase.

Post by: Bap7 on September 23, 2011, 04:13:05 PM: I played Jehoiada's Strength (Band any # of O.T. human Heroes into battle) and my opponent had a bunch of O.T. Heroes in his territory, so after I banded them all in, my total ended up being 52/40 8) I won the battle ;D LOL!

+1 yeah they can hurt you pretty bad.

Post by: Bobbobowitz on September 23, 2011, 04:53:35 PM: I felt so awesome with them until I started playing better people and getting curb stomped lol. Even without banding it was hard to get inish without dying. Then I started playing with Spy and it all went uphill.

Post by: The M on September 23, 2011, 06:45:05 PM: My retro superbandy deck which I played beginners with (which was destroyed recently :'( ) got a banding chain up to 270ish/260 because I played Love of Jesus on my 10+ character banding chain.
Title: Re: Highest numbers
Post by: SomeKittens on September 23, 2011, 08:39:10 PM: Banding is easy. I was wondering what you got a single character to.

Me and my friends have at least 100 cards in our decks. I have a 44 card defense in my deck with 21 Evil Characters and 23 enhancements

Post by: SomeKittens on December 15, 2011, 01:56:53 PM: I think the new theoretical maximum would involve 3x SSS, 3x DoU, 3x Threatened Lives and 21x Samaria in a 153 card T1 deck.

21 sites * 6 (DoU/SSS) + 3 (TL) = 126 + 3 = 129 uses of Samaria * 6 = a 774/774 increase.

Threatened Lives can be recurred for an infinite increase.
Title: Re: Highest numbers
Post by: SomeKittens on December 15, 2011, 04:40:43 PM: Sure, if you substitute Golgatha for one of the Samarias, you can recur DoU and SSS as well.

Considering the Matthew ruling, you can't recur it with King Nadab.

EDIT: Actually, the REG has been updated for AOCP claiming it has no reference. The REG did list the reference when the ruling was made, right?
Title: Re: Highest numbers
Post by: SomeKittens on December 15, 2011, 10:39:53 PM: Yup. Therefore, no reference = no reference, no matter what the REG says.

It's probably going to get re-ruled with some "If it actually has words from the Bible, that's the reference" reasoning.
Title: Re: Highest numbers
Post by: Chronic Apathy on December 16, 2011, 01:16:07 AM: Well it's almost certainly a misprint - albeit a wide-spread one.
