I can't believe I missed an opportunity to make this joke...
I don't think you'll need more than 151,200,000. Mostly because I don't think it is possible to score more than that many points.
I suppose now you're going to tell me it doesn't even have to be a mammal either.

5 mil will guarantee you get him, he asked for the cut off.
And it's laughable that you'd think his cut off would be 5mil if that's what you were saying.
Ok.
Dude, the last 3 champs to get 5 million or over first round were Gwebpool, Voodoo, Hyperion and Mordo. After that it was Quake with 4.6. Ghost Rider went for 4.3.
Ask yourself if Cable fits with that group.
No he does not! 4 million tops!
At the moment, I would project Archangel to be comparable to Voodoo and Iceman to be comparable to Hyperion. Projecting score inflation forward and accounting for the 14.0 arena acceleration that would imply AA having a cutoff of about 6.2 - 7.1 million in September and Iceman at 6.7 - 7.7 million in October.
Those are effort-normalized estimates, by the way, before anyone cries about the arena getting out of hand. In other words, if everyone who grinded for Voodoo put in the exact same amount of effort into getting Archangel, that's approximately what they would score by the time AA comes around. This estimates average score inflation due to roster strengthening of about 20k per week based on older historical data (it could be higher now: this is a low estimate) and a 10-15% increase in score per hour of effort due to the arena streamlining in 14.0.
Why I think AA will generate similar scoring effort to Voodoo and Iceman similar to Hyperion is my own analysis of how champions generate arena interest globally, and the same line of thinking reasonably accurately projected the right scores for Hyperion and Voodoo - in particular the jump in scoring for Hyperion and the lower dropoff in round two for Hyperion relative to Voodoo.
