Maximum Air Blitz in 1 Turn

[Gorthos]

I got to talking in the chat with Malignant about what is the theoretical maximum number of air blitzes that can be cast in a single turn, assuming stupendously good luck.  2 sky blitzes in a single turn would be pretty surprising... now how about EIGHT?

Quanta pool: plenty of everything.  Let's suppose you had a lot of quantum towers earlier in the game, which have now all been destroyed (to clear the field for Mindgates).

In hand:
8 sky blitzes (obtained in previous turns using mindgate, and you just drew a mindgate)

The top card of the enemy deck is Supernova.

In play:
15 Mindgates (obtained in previous turns using mindgate).  Note, the maximum number of permanent spots (except for mark/weapon/shield) is 16.  We are saving one permanent spot to play Wind Towers later.
20 Golden Nymphs (obtained in previous turns, using mindgate)  Note, the maximum number of creature spots is 23.
1 Photon because otherwise what would be the point of the Sky Blitz?

Let's assume your opponent has Wings in play to explain why the nymphs haven't killed him.

Steps:
1. Play Sky Blitz (#1) using the air quanta you have at the start of the turn
2. Use your mindgates to draw and play 4 supernovas. Play another Sky Blitz (#2)
3. Use your mindgates to draw and play 4 supernovas. Play another Sky Blitz (#3)
4. Use your mindgates to draw and play 4 supernovas. Play another Sky Blitz (#4)
5. Use your mindgates to draw and play 3 supernovas. Now you've run out of mindgates.
6. Use a Golden Nymph to draw and play 1 more supernova. Play another Sky Blitz (#5)
7. Use the Golden Nymphs to draw and play 4 more supernovas.  Play another Sky Blitz (#6).
8. Use a Golden Nymph to draw and play 1 more supernova.  Your deck is now out of supernovas.
9. Use the Golden Nymphs to draw and play 6 Wind Towers.  Play another Sky Blitz (#7)
10. Use the Golden Nymphs to draw and play 8 Wind Towers.  Play your final Sky Blitz (#8)

Congratulations, you now have a 256/1 Photon. 8)

GEEZUS! im now scared of photons

Suddenly, Sundial.

You could *perhaps* get more blitzes by drawing QTs from your deck and having all of them give you 3 each., then when you have enough to blitz, draw a blitz.

do nymphs fly? I forgot.

do nymphs fly? I forgot.

Nope. Not even the Blue/Air Nymph.

You're absolutely right!  3 QTs and a blitz sure beats 4 supernovas or 8 wind towers.

Start out with the same setup as before except we have 22 nymphs instead of 20 (Pushing this to the limit!)
1. Play the initial blitz (#1)
2. Mindgate 3 QTs, play a blitz (#2)
3. Repeat step 2 four more times (#3, #4, #5, #6).  Now we're out of mindgates.
4. Nymph 3 QT, play a blitz (#7). Do the same thing again (#8).  16 nymphs left, and no more blitzes in hand.
5. Nymph 3 QT and a blitz, play them (#9).
6. Repeat step 5 three more times (#10, #11, #12).

Our little photon has doubled his attack 12 times to a whopping 4096

Then you play Chimera.  Hi there, I'm a (4096+22*7)/(1+22*9) Momentum/gravity pull/flying BEAST.  Oh, and now all the sky blitz won't wear off, since it was on the dead photon.  Speaking of such, instead of a photon, why not have it be something like a Ruby Dragon stacked to high heaven with chaos powers, blessings, and whatever?  Your opponent could have used Hope, RoL, Mitosis, and Feral Bonds to keep alive.

[Shantu]

Haha, 4096.. too bad damage and hp are capped at 499.

[noob mode on] Excuse me, what is a QT???  [noob mode off]
I tried to find it somewhere in the forum, but i cannot find it! Not even in the Elements Glossary (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/resources/elements-glossary/).

[Shantu]

Quantum Tower.

[TheManuz]

Quantum Tower.

I knew it! I asked only to see if you know it too!
