For me, it was not only imprinting Shahrazad on a Panoptic Mirror but I managed to use Death Wish to pull the card from the main game, into our second game. I was banned from using white mana for a long long time after that.
built up a big board presence that threatened the whole table, so I became public enemy no.1 at that point. Passed to the "angry omnath" player who was bragging about how I was going to die, he drops a Memory Jar to refill his hand and dumps it all into play, enters combat then I Cyclonic Rifted all of their things to hand, which they discarded due to the Memory Jar! I swung with the team to kill the whole table lol. Cyclonic Rift after Memory Jar is brutal!!!
I once buff-buff-buffed a Walking Ballista to 40-50 counters or so in a single cycle of turns and then top-decked a way to kill my three enemies simultaneously. Oh my.
These are just two of the crazier ones that really stuck with me over the years.
Combining Opposition + Willbreaker is one of my better recent ideas. It actually backfired one time (two in a row, no less!!) ; this led to one of the goofier board states we ever saw at our tables. It took us several minutes to figure it all out.
While teaching my 9 year old how to play with his all black deck, IIRC, it was designed to mill your cards then steal your creatures from the field or graveyard. I selected my 7 year olds deck because I had thought it was weaker. It was comprised of cards like Turn to FrogClaustrophobia and Shackles amongst others. Many of the cards my 7 year old selected because they weren't scary.
While I was teaching my 9 year old, I went into auto mode with my deck focusing on his strategy and game rules. Before long, he burst out crying. I look down and realized to my horror that my daughter had essentially crafted a Stasis control deck and I locked every one of his creatures down. No matter how much mana he dropped, I always had an answer.

I have never felt so bad in any game of Magic before or since. To destroy a 9 year olds own deck he carefully built on his own by his own sisters deck.
No matter, he recovered and plays Yu-Gi-Oh and has a deck that manages to beat the pants off of any deck I try to build. Agh... I hate that game so much.
1. I was playing Animar in a four player EDH game against Hannah, Isamaru, and Rhys. Hugely favorable matchup for me, but the Isamaru player got an Umezawa's Jitte in play, and was just popping Animar out every time I played him. Rhys player, who was kinda new to both the game and our EDH group, draws a Krosan Grip and asks what artifacts are in play. I put on this huge show about how the Jitte is a terrible, broken card who's going to screw everyone over, and she blows it up, not realizing that was the only thing keeping me in check. Boom, play Animar, and it takes about 4 turns to obliterate everyone (I killed her last, though, cause I'm nice like that).
2. Collective Voyage for 11 on Turn 3. One of our house rules is you can't kill anyone before their fifth turn. For some reason, they haven't let me resolve Collective Voyage once since then
Played Terastodon, proceeded to blow up 3 lands. Kicked a Rite of Replication to blow up 18 more lands. Had Propaganda out so they could not attack back.
I have a Modern deck, Esper, with pretty much every counter and boards wipe and creature kill spell and discard and tutor in the format, it's almost 200 cards, and it can only win by sitting there for 50 odd turns until their library is empty, less depending on their card draw...... or I should say HAD. I built it for one FNM, because someone had bet me I could not or would not. I could, I did, I won that night....and the judge asked me not to bring that one back, because in practice, it won through people conceding in disgust.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
I like to play Underworld Dreams, and Forced Fruition together. It's funny to watch people squirm to get rid of one of them. And I dropped Staff of Domination into my elf EDH deck as soon as it was unbanned.
Opponent activated Myr Incubator, exiled pretty much his entire library, had Concordant Crossroads out, and was holding a couple different counters. When he went to move to combat phase, i cycled Decree of Pain; too bad none of his counter magic was anti-activated ability.
I also once Stifled a first turn fetch (i was on the play). That was pretty evil.
Okay, one more. I once dropped a first turn Three Tragedies on an opponent who'd mulled down to four and was on the play. I had to use a lot of resources to do it, but to see somebody start their second turn with one land in play and hellbent was worth it.

They just couldn't put 7th edition into Modern because of the card borders? Seriously? Count me out.
Someone may have posted this one before me. But, in a game of EDH, I was able to float a boat load of mana and cast a Realm Razer, then follow it up with an Oblivion Sower. That was pretty evil, imo. All the players scooped. Ha ha.

Lol. Is there a way to "redirect" the effect to an opponent if they put something like that on the stack?
A Willbender would do the trick. But she and i were the last two alive that hand. As i controlled all "her" decisions as well as my own, she was screwed.
I get one of th alt win cons ready to go then just teferi's protection the board
I can't be touched not the alt wins ready to go for the upkeep I can just kick up my heels and wait for my next upkeep for the "you win the game" trigger which is next to unstoppable.
But really just simply do a destory all lands and while on the stack just teferi's protection I'm going to be the only one with lands.
It might not be such an evil thing I did, but here goes anyway: I was playing my zombie deck and on 2nd turn, I cast 2 dark ritual for a Rooftop Storm, followed by free Lich Lord of Unx + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. Third turn, I created a token with the Lich, sac'd it to Grimgrin and the feast began! My opponents soon conceeded, as you can imagine...

Haha, yeah, Teferi's Protection would be pretty evil with all kinds of boardwipes, i'm picturing Decree of Annihilation (as long as that WinCon kicks in Upkeep, even though you probabky win before your own next turn) or Jokulhaups. Is there an updated Jokulhaups that takes out PWs too?

So... you're paying 2 mana a turn to be able to attack with Grimgrin each turn? That hardly sounds "evil".
T1: Land, Sol Ring, Talisman of Dominance
T2: Land, Mana Crypt, Mind Twist for X=6
In fairness, I targeted the Prossh player that had cast a T2 Goblin Bombardment. It felt justified.

I was about to die to my opponent's board (He had Gideon of the Trials and lingering souls tokens, I reanimated Dragonlord Silumgar off my gifts ungiven + Unburial Rites and stole his Gideon and Ultimate to keep myself alive.
