What is your biggest draw using Scrying Pool?

I just got 16.  It was a crazy game involving university, scrying pool, and black market, chapel, sentry, and urchin.  So there was tons of trashing and tons of action card gaining.  I'm sure there are plenty of times people have gotten more than 16 though, so let's hear it.

I just got alchemy as the last expansion I didn't have (not counting promos, and nocturne and second edition upgrade packs don't exist in Dutch yet), and it's completely crazy with good trashing. Bonus points if vineyard is in the kingdom. Before I started greening I got up to around twelve-ish for a single scrying pool I think.

And of course you get to dig for your opponents' victory cards/coppers/curses.

I don't keep a running tally, but I've probably drawn 20 or so cards on a Scrying Pool a number of times.

Storeroom/Scrying Pool combo rewards big Scrying Pools in particular (discard a bunch of actions for coins, draw them back).

Rats is another nice enable - turn all your junk into drawable actions.

The greatest part of a big Scrying Pool is the pause as the client is loading the cards you've drawn. The more cards you draw, the longer the pause.

That's true, the pause did build up my anticipation.  Who knew 2 seconds of nothing could be so exciting!
