Well... if there are 65 unique [Elven] events (may have miscounted... although I'm not too eager to reveal I did fire up LOTRO out of sheer curiosity), then multiplied by 3 that's 195. I should've just said "arbitrary large number," huh?

Excluding infinite loops (Broken in Defeat + Orc Skulker) the largest I have ever seen a minion get was 117 so getting a -780 will usually be pointless.

Lets make decks designed to create 1000 strength minions.

*headdesk* Where did the 4 go? What an honor to be corrected by a Maia! :)

Since I was off already, what's the maximum vitality for Cirdan? 4 + Elven Armaments + Aiglos + Narya, Ring of Fire = 7?

So 65 (?) x 4 x (7 - 1) = 1560... wow, not bad.

You could also toss in an Ent Draught for fun. And don't forget the possibility of The Tale of Gil-galad in Expanded! :twisted:

Cirdan could still die to archery if you don't have Lightfootedness. Or if you have naught but Shadow in thy hand. :P

Ahaha, 2080... incidentally I never realized [Elven] vitality could be pumped so high.

Cirdan could still die to archery if you don't have Lightfootedness.
Best comment ever.

No Aiglos -- cannot be combined with the Elven Armaments since they are both Hand Weapons. ;)

1820 *twitch* And this is why I really, really should've gone with "arbitrary large number."

ANYONE ELSE? :evil:

arbitrary large number is not as fun as figuring it out myself...
is there any large loop that can add a lot of twilight for either side?
