Did you ever try to make the best scenario ever, in which you win as fast as possible with a great score ? Playing as a specific mage with a specific combination of artefacts that you draw in a specific order, with a specific place of power available ?

Obviously a setup that has 1 in a million chance to happen and that your opponent would NEVER let you go for, but is "technically possible".

The best I found is 21 points in 2 rounds, based on Witch, Homonculus, 5 other demons and Cup of Fire, going for the Abyssal Temple. It also requires both extensions.

What is yours ?

I bet I could do infinite points in 2 rounds with both expansions

Which artefacts and setup would you need to have ?

Mage:
Artificier
Hand:
Homunculi, possessed demon slayer, catherine wheel
Deck: windup man, chalice of fire, votex of destruction, chaos imp, shadowy figure

1. Take research
2. Play all 3 cards for free
3. Spend red to draw shadowy figure
4. Play it for 1 black draw windup and chaos imp with shadowy figure for 1 blue, keep imp.
5. Play imp for free
6. Untap shadowy figure with imp (1 green cost)
7. tap catherine wheel to gain 2 red and 1 blue.
8. Draw chalice for 1 blue.
9. Play chalice for 1 gold
10. Untap catherine wheel for 1 red.
11. Tap catherine wheel and gain 3 green.
12. Tap homunculi for 2 blue.

PASS and draw vortex

13. Play vortex for 2 red
14. Tap vortex to gain 3 black
15. Tap shadowy figure for 3 blue
16. Buy temple of the abyss
17. Tap catherine wheel to gain 2 green and 1 red
18. tap all demons for points
19. untap all demons
20. untap temple of the abyss
21. destroy chalice with vortex
22. draw chalice and toss it for gold, then untap figure with chaos imp and draw it again and play it

From now on you can probably see you can infinitely chain these actions to gain infinite amount of blue on temple of the abyss.

It indeed works

the setup I tried was almost the same, except for Artificier and Vortex of Destruction, which is in fact the key for chaining actions

I believe it is either 15 or 16 on Round 2 when using only the base game & Lux & Tenebrae expansion. Did the math out before out of curiosity but don't remember the exact point total.

If Prism is in the base game (I can't remember) then I got to 22 on round 3 with Infernal Engine + Dragon Teeth, then Prism to get Dragon Arie. I probably could do more with a slightly different setup, but that's at least doable with the base (again, if Prism is in the base...I think it is...)
