Well, Istanbul was witness to when I got the bear's stats into the 500 million range. Yes, 500 million, honestly.
Was working on it again tonight. Got the sucker right over 10 billion, then the game suddenly crashed on me. Go figure...
Anybody on MTGO have any spare Nightscape Masters, Sunscape Masters, or Mirari's Wake?
I have all the stat boosters, now I just need to abuse returning stuff to my hand to keep boosting the bear. In case you want to know my formula:
LOTS of enchantments that boost power
4x Nantuko Mentor
-----------------------------
These two go hand in hand for big stats
4x Clone
4x Aphetto Alchemist
4x Seeker of Skybreak
4x Elder Druid
-----------------------------
These dudes do a lot to boost the abilities of the mentor. With these, I basically have 20 mentors on the table, to pump a bear who will already have stats in the 400-500 range from enchantments.
Then, I figured something meaner...bounce with haste:
2x Nightscape Master
1x Dispersing Orb
As you can see, I really need more bounce, but with the one orb, I basically have as many uses of the mentor as I can stuff Islands into my deck.
Would have gotten than 23rd use of a mentor off on the bear if only the game could handle the stats...
