Are the maximum possible totals documented anywhere? I know that the maximum life total is 2147483647, but I'm curious if the other maximum values are all located somewhere convenient?

the more important question should be, why is 2147483647 the max life total, what if i choose to be on 10000000000000000000000 life after my combo???? what happens if my opp. can deal 2147483648 damage a turn

because you know, the programmers thought "hey, this is a game where you hardly go beyond 50 life, so why bother and make the max value higher by using 8 bit or something and make the program slower and larger if people can just use it this way without any real problems?"

second, if your opponent deals you 2147483648 damage a turn, he can surely deal you 10000000000000000000000 damage.

third, what does this have to do with magic league?

And fourth you can just say your at 1000000000000000000000000000000000000 life. Just go tell a judge he can deal enough damage to kill you from max life total, but oyu do have infinite life engine, so you wanna go higher. No judge is gonna say you lose cuz the program you are using cant handle high numbers.

i think that once you do the combo several time so in the end of one you will reach the same point with your cards as the start point or an earlier go you can simply say "repeat" from then on...
