Love the use of Summoning Portals for that Antonidas route.  But yeah, after thinking about it, potential infinite is probably less damage than a couple hundred billion.  Since 6 Damage per Fireball * 10 Fireballs per second (Unreasonable) * 90 Second time limit = 5,400 damage only.

About Commanding Shout + Bouncing Blades; It does work.  Even if you put more minions on the board, it stops when -all- have reached 1 HP.  Since it is a clear board, the enemy has no minions.  Thus it will keep bouncing till all minions (we only really care that Gahz'rilla does, but all will) reaches 1 HP.  This makes Gahz'rilla's attack value = (6 + Buffs before Bouncing Blade) * (2^[Health-1]) with this combo.

My revised 10 Card, no "luck" factor list.
Gahz'rilla (3 Mana Left), Commanding Shout (1 Mana Left), Preparation, Charge, Innervate (3 Mana Left), Innervate (5 Mana Left), Divine Spirit (3 Mana Left), Divine Spirit (1 Mana Left), Preparation, Bouncing Blade
Would make 36 Health = (8 Attack * [2 ^ 35]) = 274,877,906,944 Attack.
- I think playing 10 cards, and waiting for 35 bounce animation + Gahz'rilla powerups would take less then 90 seconds, so this combo is pretty valid.

8 x 2³⁵ = 274 877 906 944

Nailed it. I think the only way to get higher would be to draw into Power Word: Shield with that 1 remaining Mana.

Which it's pretty funny that one Power Word: Shield at the start of it all would push the damage from 274 Billion to 70.3 Trillion.

A combo that actually could see play is Faceless Manipulator (on their Gahz'rilla) + Commanding Shout + Bouncing Blade for a potential of 1536 damage.  Of course the guy would likely just die the next turn before you could attack with it.

You can stack the exponential growth of Gahz'rilla exponentially, by using Crazed Alchemist.

Gahz'rilla
Charge (10 mana used now, everything after this is free)
Innervate + Commanding Shout
Preparation + Bouncing Blade
Innervate + Crazed Alchemist
Preparation + Bouncing Blade

After the first Bouncing Blade Gahz'rilla's attack will be 8 x 2⁸ = 2048.  After the second Bouncing Blade it'll be 1 x 2²⁰⁴⁷, which is...

~1.616 x 10⁶¹⁶

Notes on feasibility

1. Commanding Shout does apply to Crazed Alchemist, despite not being on the board at the time Commanding Shout is cast.
2. Turn time is not a concern for Bouncing Blade animation.  You can see from the Bouncing Blade demo that minion attacks can be queued while the blades are bouncing.
3. Turn time should not be a concern for Gahz'rilla animation.  You can queue up Frothing Berserker's attack even when it's still busy enraging from a massive whirlwind.
4. Obviously massively overflows integer, though that is already true with musicmf's solution.

I was thinking about whether it was possible to buff the Attack then switch it to Health using Crazed Alchemist, but it never occurred to me to use Bouncing Blade to do the initial Attack buff. That's insane!

It would take more seconds than the universe has been in existence to do this much damage with the infinite fireball method... Do we have a winner?

Amazing! And that was your first post on this forum as well... 

Too bad the game would crash, your computer would explode and the universe itself would collapse before all those animations went off.
