Fruit Loops.

Hey all,

This is just a broken combo known as Fruit Loops that you can use in Open Format. I made this a long time ago to prove to people that Open format is just crazy, since Combos like this one are legal.

Oh, and I’m not the guy who originally came up with the idea - I’m just the first (and only, AFAIK) guy to put it into a big list with step by step instructions.

Enjoy!

Treebeard, Keeper of the Watchwood with Ent Draught
Aragorn, Driven by Need with Ent Draught

End result: All of your companions are healed, your opponent has (basically) nothing left at all, and you can move to the ninth site.
