Maximum Quantum Challenge

The Maximum Quantum Challenge!!

So there was a question posted on the forums about a maximum quantum limit. Chriskang said something about a really, really huge number as the maximum amount of quanta you can reach. But I want to know what the game will allow you to go up to before it stops adding to the quantum counter. Consider this the beginning of the Maximum Quantum Challenge!

PuppyChow and I tried this out in a PvP Duel match using the following deck:

Have fun, and good luck!

Eternity does 4 damage.

But Jmizzle just came up with a better idea: Mono time with eternity, photon, and one shard of gratitude.

Obviously, there is more than one way to do this.

[PuppyChow]

I'm going to post this in my reserved post (our strategy and stuff), but midway through we realized that a better way would be 3x time tower, amethyst towers, 1x dissapation shield (unupgraded), 2x eternities, and 1x ray of light. That way you'd be sure to get 53 amethyst quantum per.

But I think that the whole idea of gaining quantum across the board rather than just one element is kinda cool, even if it is slower .

Guidelines/Rules

1) Basically, a competition to see which pair of people can acquire the highest quantum amount. While the ultimate goal is to reach the max, there will be a small competition along the way .

2) Must be done with another person or against AI other than Top 50; doing it against yourself in the Top 50 is not allowed since not everybody can do it and it is much easier.

3) All submissions must be accompanied by a screenshot and a video, if possible. The highest seen quantum count will be your "score."

4) Feel free to share your strategy, but remember others can use it too.

5) Quantum towers are cooler than a mono version. Of course, having 3000 in one and 2900 in another element will not effect your score, so I suppose it's a moot point in this competition's terms.

Strategy me and Jmizzle used:
Play only the dissipation field and quantum pillars until you only have one card in your deck left after drawing. At this point, play one of your eternities (the second one is to prevent your sole one being the last card in the deck). Continue in an infinite loop with your partner; you rewind your photon, he rewinds his. The shield will prevent either of you from taking damage and you will be gaining A LOT of quantum.

In the case of somebody screwing up, ie forgetting to rewind, or playing the second eternity by accident, have your partner rewind your photon for you. Then you rewind his. Basically, you have two chances before you lose.

EDIT: Jmizzle did have some fun video of the match, but apparently it is very low quality. In it, we demonstrated both techniques (since I accidentally double clicked and played the second eternity :|). The match ended with me at about 3000 light quantum.  Of course, then it was Jmizzle's turn to screw up, and he rewinded himself instead of me. Neither of us then took a screenshot (I didn't have time to before I decked out). The video has me and him with a higher quantum count, but since you can't make it out, 2000 is our score. For this time.

Now, some screenshots for me and Jmizzle's posts:

i accept your challenge

i decline

[sillyking14]

just a thought. since the only damage dealer is a photon (ray of light). then why even use the dissapation shield. why not get a cheaper shield that reduces damage dealt by 1. that way no damage done to either person............on second thought why even have a shield at all. the photons will not do damage since all you do is play them, and then rewind them. so maybe go 57 time towers, mark of time, photon, reverse time, and eternity. (reverse time only because some people don't have 2 eternities.) oh wait on third thought....yeah you do kinda need the shields, cuz the eternities do damage......hmmm maybe keep everything the same, except you change mark to gravity and add a gravity sheld, and an animate weapon. i'm pretty sure that eternity has like 12 life when animated. this way, you don't have a constant drain on your quantum and you still don't lose life. then you would have 55 pillars.hmmmm oh well, i guess either way works. .........whatever

[sillyking14]

perhaps it would be better to use all mono pillars. mono time would probably be best since time would power eternity. other wise you will gain quantums more slowly, because it will be spread out among all of the different elements.but that's just my opinion. but other than that that deck looks like just the thing to test this.......


actually maybe have, half and half, like half quantum pillars (to power the dissapation field) and half mono pillars (to reach the limit faster). idk its jmo. although actually i would also suggest adding a protect artifact or two in their to protect the dissipation field.

edit: never mind, the plan is to use this in dueling, protecting your permanents would be useless.

geez u guys almost got to 3k each element except entropy which sucked lol this went on for about more then 1hour so ya they had alot of free time thats where i came in with mah super time wasting abilities btw psot teh vids and pic!

I believe the number Chriskang said was 2^31-1, or 2147483647.

[Getawu2]

Well, I'd think FFQ (unupgraded), a SoG an one Eternity (you don't need 2, the chance that it's the last card is minnow), a Diamond Shield and 56 Quantum Towers (if you don't want mono towers) would work quite well.

Course you have to wait for your FFQ to work until the opponent played the shield.

[PuppyChow]

I like that concept. Mark of earth, 3x time tower, 2x FFQ (unupped), 3x wind pillar, 2x life pillar, diamond shield, sog (or empathic bond), 48 light pillars.

We know. It's just fun to see how high we can get.
