Earth doesn't have any creatures immune to shield? Antlion has the lowest attack, I thought.

Gemfinders...

[XYTWO]

Plus their 0 attack nymph.

[Hodari]

Let's see.
Suppose you have 2 Fractals and 6 PU's in your deck. Both you and your opponent have fields full of malignant cells. You have 13 Electrum Hourglasses in play, a Malignant Cell in your hand (you had Mindgates that stole his Electrum Hourglasses), and 2 Unstable Gases in play. You blow one up, getting 92 charges on the shield, and play your lone Malignant Cell once the field is clear, then you use your Hourglasses to draw all 6 PU's, which you play on the cell. Now, you use it again, and get a Fractal in your hand. You play it, then draw 5 Supernova's, which you play, and then use the Hourglass again to gain another Fractal, which you play. You have 23 Malignant Cells on the field. Now, you play UG one more time, gaining another 46 charges.

So, using a deck, you can gain 138 charges on your shield in a single turn.

What about having a couple more UG's and a Graveyard out as well?

[Nepycros]

Blast! I was careless! Revising... Suppose you and your opponent had a Boneyard. Incorporate that into my earlier example. Add 2 UG's. When the first wave of creatures die, get Skeletons, and blow them up too. That's 184 right there. Then, use the Fractal thing to get another 46. 230 points there. Now, 23 creatures have died, so both you and your opponent get more skellies. One more UG and add 92 points. That brings the new max to 322!!!

[TheIdioticIdiot]

since there are no new questions, I will ask another one:

What is the minimum amount of damage you can deal in one turn? (keep in mind that antimattered creatures count as negative damage)

[Krahhl]

Unlimited. Purify also counts as negative damage, and you can mindgate + eternity loop as many of those as you want.

I don't have a question to ask, anyone can go ahead.

[ddevans96]

-11477 damage.

You mind gate all of your opponent's creatures, antimatters, buff cards, and stall cards. You stall until you fill your field your field with buff creatures but they don't do anything to your opponent because he is stalling. You buff each and every one of them up to 499 attack, which is the cap, and then you antimatter them all. Your opponent's stall cards expire and you deal -499 x 23 damage, which equals the value above.

EDIT: Okay, didn't think of your opponent healing. In that case yes it would be infinite.

EDIT2: Here's a question: What is the maximum amount of life points you can have in your first turn? Assume your opponent goes first so you have 8 cards and the cap no longer exists.

EDIT3: Damn ninjas.

[XYTWO]

Okay.
How much damage can you deal in 1 turn, assuming your only creature is an Earth Nymph and you have no spells that can deal direct damage to the enemy? You also have no weapons.

[TheIdioticIdiot]

this is a trick question thread, expect the questions to be tricky
the answer is -499, since your opponent's hp pool caps at 500
I will answer both of your questions then

@XYTWO, since spells are different from permanents, you can have 6 catas, you can have 5 PUs in your hand, you nymph can have 499 hp, PU it, then launch, which would result in 65*5 damage, so.. 325

@DDevans, trainer, X100 quanta, your hand: 6 granite skins, 2 SoDs, so... 590

[XYTWO]

So, should we go with dd's question or mine? I put mine up sooner, but he tried to answer the question.

[TheIdioticIdiot]

ok, I answered both of your questions

What's the only Darkness creature that can survive 2 holy lights, without any spell buffs, or ability buffs?

[Nepycros]

Okay.
How much damage can you deal in 1 turn, assuming your only creature is an Earth Nymph and you have no spells that can deal direct damage to the enemy? You also have no weapons.

Easy. The Earth Nymph has a Venom ability (Mutants FTW), and it inflicted 499 points of poison damage on the opponent beforehand, and its stats are maxed at 499.

ok, I answered both of your questions

Gargoyle is the only one, but that counts as an ability buff, so none.
