Playing the faeries mirror. He was on the play, neither one of us had our thoughtseize for g2. He led off with conclave. I mirrored it. He dropped a blossom. I dropped one. He dropped another one next turn. I dropped another one next turn. he drew and passed. I ripped a third blossom, asked him if he thought I was a man. He said "probably", I played it and passed. he had an eot scion, and the crowd around us starting talking about me being screwed. So I peppersmoked it.
OK I was at a Extended PTQ in Charleston WV. It was playing on the 3rd round, I think. My opponent was playing Zoo and I was playing Gifts Rock. Turn one for me was land, BoP. His was some 1 drop. My second turn was land Duress and Cabal Therapy x3 (once with flashback). All he had left was a land.
Played BG Elves with a GW deck I never thought would work. He's at 11, tapped out land and all but one creature. Had Kitchen Finks and Knight of New Alara. One land and Path to Exile in hand. I untap, draw another knight, clear his blocker, and proceed to beat face for 11. He shows me Loxodon Warhammer in his hand ready to stabilize.

I played Thoughtseize when my opponent had one card in hand. That card was Cancel, and they played it. Everyone watching cracked up. The guy didn't see what was so funny, then realized what he'd done later (like two turns after).

Playtesting a T2 deck online, against a deck that I don't remember, exactly. I've been hacking into him to get him at 12, but he Wrath's, wiping me out. He's at 3 life, and i was simply waiting for the burn to come out, but I draw nothing. He gets out Broodmate Dragon, swings at me to bring me down to 12 and plays Tidehollow Sculler, taking out Magma Spray. Next turn, he swings with all three, bringing me down to a precarious two life.
Now, here's the board - I have 8 lands in play, no creatures on the board (he's got the 2 dragons and sculler), and an Anathemancer and Hellspark Elemental in the GY. Both with no cards in hand. He's only got 7 nonbasics, so even if I unearth the Anathemancer and swing, I still lose next turn. Praying, I go into topdeck mode.
I draw Swamp. I groan (come on, whenever we topdeck a basic land that's the common reaction ), think, then with a scream of joy I whip it down to unearth both the Hellspark and Anathemancer, dealing the 12 damage and winning.
My opponent was playing a Grixis deck with a few cards from Shadowmoor. He had a ton of deathtouch guys and I was playing a GW beats deck with tons of huge dudes. We were at a stalemate for a while and he nearly had the win before but I had Oblivion Ring'd his Bloodmark Mentor so his guys wouldn't have first-strike and deathtouch. So I declare an attack and he says no responses. I attack in with a bunch of guys and he bounces the Oblivion Ring with Bloodmark Mentor giving all of his guys first-strike and deathtouch, blocks everything, I have no creatures left and attacks for the win next turn. Bloody Grixis Charm *grumbles*
Ok, this doesn't really count, but this was epic. I was playing on MWS...Warp World vs. GW Mycoloth. My opponent has 60 Saproling Tokens in play, a 28/28 Mycoloth, a 10/10 Mycoloth, a Noble Hierarch, a Mark of Asylum, and 5 lands. A total of 69 permanents. I played warpworld, and I'm at 1 life. I ask the guy if he has any planeswalkers, instants, or sorceries in the deck. He says no. I win :). The guy had to put his entire library into play, then died to his own Elvish Visionary.
Ok, two funny stories from playing FNM, both involving Jace.
One of our players activates Jace's third ability on his opponent, then thinking he has won, also activates Liliana's third ability forgetting to check the graveyards. His opponent says it's ok and says "thanks for giving me the win". ??? the opponent had a phage placed in his graveyard due to jace.
Second was when we out of town for FNM. One of our teammates was playing sanity grindings deck and activates Jace's third ability for the win. his opponent said. "Jace has a third ability?". Every player there that wasn't us were confused and apparantly never knew that "Jace has a third ability".

My favorite story was from the BoK prerelease. I just narrowly lost round 1, and so I knew I had to win every other round to get any packs. I won rounds 2 and 3, and went to round 4. I won the first game, he won the second. The third, I start off strong, but he stabilizes by dropping a bunch of fatties and killing most of my stuff except for a Floodbringer, which continues to hit for 1 a turn unblocked. I still have a Genju of the Cedars on one of my forests, but it's outclassed by most of my opponent's stuff. A Vital Surge saves me from death, putting me at 3 life. He has 7. Next turn all I can do is attack with my Floodbringer, and my opponent thinks he's won. Bu then I animate my Genju, which conviniently turns it into a spirit, and play Devouring Rage for +6/0 for the win.
My lulziest play ever was from about 5 weeks ago. At a local FNM standard tourney there is this one a hole who likes to bring fairies to beat up on 14-16 year olds who dont have much cash. I brought some kinda of silly jund mana ramp deck that successfully stalled the game untill round 3 over time turn 5. i luckily had 8 mana on the field no creatures in play with him at six and myself at 3. My hand at that time consisted of 2 savage lands and a forest just to freak him out with trap cards. Then i top decked a resounding thunder ftw. He hasnt came back since.
My friend has a million tokens from Meloku The Clouded Mirror and attacks an opponent with 4 Hissing Miasma. Which he didn't see and every one was laughing and he was wondering what was so funny then we pointed out he had lost. He was wondering why no one was attacking him. lol That was a good multi-player game
Last saturday we drafted M10. I was playing my buddy Nick. He won game 1 but in games 2 I went Turn 5 Ant Queen. He goes Turn 5 Mind Control and I'm forced to Turn 6 Pacifism my own Queen. Game 3 I again Turn 5 Ant Queen, look at him and say "If you have Mind Control I'm gonna be Pissed!" Everyone watching starts to laugh. He untaps and drops Mind Control. I throw a Pacifism at him before I even untapped.

Quote from Shin about Great Sable Stag »
I swear, this card has "protection from Chris Jobin," and its rather infuriating.
In a shards block draft I went
T1 Wild Nacatl
T2 Knotvine Paladin, 2
T3 Wild Nacatl, Cerodon Yearling, 8
T4 Cerodon Yearling, Druid Of the Anima, 14, gg
Another in the same draft, someone had played a serra angel, and i had unssummoned it. About 2 turns later, i blurt out "YOU COULDNT HAVE PLAYED THE SERRA ANGEL!" She asks why and i say "It costs 2 White" and she looks down and sees that she only has one plains. I felt bad after that, and we bothed laughed about it.
3 turns later i had her serra angel, and i tapped it to attack...:facepalm:
Apparently i know the mana cost perfectly, but not the whole vigalince thing...
I was in Phoenix, AZ visiting some relatives (I'm from Virginia) and being bored one Friday afternoon I decide to take one of the couple decks I brought with me to a local FNM to see how the meta was. My second matchup of the night was the funniest. I was paired with a guy playing mostly white with a splash of blue for Meddling Mages and Negate (all of the blue I saw from him).
Here's the break down of our first game; I won the roll and chose to be on the play.
T1: I play an island and pass turn. He plays a plains, taps and returns for the w/u borderpost.
T2: I play a swamp and pass turn. He plays a Mystic Gate, drops Knight of the White Orchid and fetches out a mistveil plains. I Agony Warp his Knight eot.
T3: I play another island and drop Jace Beleren, use his +2. He drops another plains and plays Endless Horizons. He pulls out every plains/mistveil plains in his deck, which turns out to be every land in his deck except the last 3 Mystic Gates.
-- Now would be a good time to mention this is my casual U/B mill deck --
T4: I drop another island and show him the Mind Funeral (and Twincast) in my hand that I was waiting another turn to drop. Instead I cast funeral and milled his entire deck, then used Jace to deck him.
Long story. Only read if you've got the spare time, but I promise you it will be worth your while.
5 player multiplayer "casual" game. Four of us are regulars. The fifth joins us from time to time but he is more of a competitive player. He has asked in the past if we mind him playing competitive decks in casual, and we say "it's fine as long as you don't play banned/restricted cards, and we kinda hate infinite combos".
So, despite that, well along the way into our game, his deck has reached "critical mass" and is at, of his choosing, 7,777,777 life, thanks to an age-old infinite life combo involving Nomads En-Kor & Daru Spiritualist & Worthy Cause. We all chew him out for playing an infinite combo in mulitplayer casual, but he continually defends himself, saying that the gaining of life doesn't immediately win him the game, and he could still lose other ways, like milling. We shrug it off and move on.
The following player's turn, that player casts Arbiter of Knollridge, putting each of our life totals at 7,777,777. We all smile wickedly
The following player's turn, that player draws his card, and then has a small fit of rage, proclaiming something along the lines of, "Dammit! I could have made an pretty nasty play if I had this when you cast your Arbiter!" After dillydallying for a bit, he then casts Wound Reflection from his hand, and doesn't bother swinging with any of his creatures, because I have an Embargo in play.
My turn, I have in play several lands, a few creatures, and Lich's Mirror, and, of course, Embargo. Embargo makes me lose 2 life, bringing me down to 7,777,775. I draw my Donate I've been looking for so I can pass the Embargo along to someone else, not that it will matter with our now astronomical life totals, and Duress my opponent who cast the Arbiter, because he splashes blue and I don't want to deal with counterspells. He shows his two cards to me- a Ponder and a Blessed Wind. I think for a moment, then give him a wink and select the Ponder, realizing he can kill one of us thanks to the Wound Reflection, and I don't want this game to last forever.
But then another even more sinister idea dawns on me. I Donate my Lich's Mirror to the player with the infinite life combo. He gives me a bizarre look, and I simply shrug. Now we'll essentially get to kill him repeatedly! (among us, we have more than enough creatures to kill him per round; that'll teach ya to play infinite combos in multiplayer casual! All I need to do is draw a bounce for my Embargo...) Oh and at the end of my turn, Wound Reflection takes me down to 7,777,773. :xd:
The fifth player takes his turn, doesn't do much except play a land, and passes.
Back to the infinite-life-deck player. He draws and casts a, yep, Test of Endurance. He gives us the cheesiest smile we have ever seen, and we take turns grimmacing, but secretly the U/W player and I know what's going to happen. The fifth player tries to scoop, and we told him to hang on, he'll be pleasantly surprised.
And so begins the U/W player's turn, and he certainly has enough mana to do it. He casts Blessed Wind, targeting the infinite-life-deck player, setting his life total to 20, and, as per official rules, causing him to "lose" a total of 7,777,757 life by doing so. Much laughter is had, except by a particular one of us :xd:. The U/W player ends his turn, and gleefully points out that Wound Reflection triggers, causing the loss of 7,777,757 life once again. We all crack up and I point out my Lich's Mirror that he now controls, and explain that I'm still the owner of the Mirror so it stays in play, but now he gets to shuffle everything back in and start over again, going up to 20 life from -7,777,737 life.
"WAIT!" says the player with Wound Reflection. We all look to him with curiosity. He taps two of his remaining Swamps, and casts False Cure! I immediately recognize the "combo" as I've seen it before but never chose to run it because it's simply too mean, but this situation warrants it completely. I explain to the others of us who do not understand:
"Remember how when Blessed Wind set him from 7,777,777 life to 20, that counted as losing 7,777,757 life? Well, when Lich's Mirror sets him from -7,777,737 life to 20 after he shuffles everything together and draws 7 cards, that will count as him gaining 7,777,757 life. False Cure will then see this and cause him to lose 7,777,757 life, causing him to lose again, causing Lich's Mirror to trigger again, and so on."
The infinite-life-deck player gulps, and then asks, "So, how long do I keep doing this then? Is the game a draw?" and our U/W gentleman states something like, "Oh, we're all fine and dandy with seeing this combo through. Go ahead and shuffle, draw those 7, then die, and then shuffle, draw those 7, and then die, and, well, you get the point."
The infinite-life-deck player lets out a nice long curse, and says he quits. We all somewhat unamiously reply, "And that's what you get for playing infinite combos!"
Ironically, it took us an "infinite combo" to "kill" him. Moral of the story? Fight fire with fire! :xd:
Well if you include casual then I have a great one
I was playing a 2 v 2 game (not 2HG) with a couple of my friends one afternoon. It was my Reanimation Deck and a Goblin Deck vs a token deck and some janky black/red deck. We rolled and I got the highest and chose to go first.
I smiled with glee. I played my swamp, used it to play Dark Ritual. Then with my 3 I play Entomb nabbing Multani, Maro-Sorcerer and used Shallow Grave to bring him out as a 24/24 and used him to kill my friend with the token deck.

"This thing is 82% Hawaiian and I've got all afternoon."
Once my opponent have me in a bad position, he had ink-eyes servant of oni in play and 2 other creatures that I can't recall; I had two blockers and was at 5. He attacks and I block the ink-eyes and one of his other guys and was taking 2. As I start to write down the life change he told me to wait as he called over everyone in the room, he said that he had just won since what he was going to do. Once everyone not playing in the room had gathered around he ninjutsued in for his guy a second ink-eyes and said take 5. Everyone stared for almost a full fifteen second before he whispered 'damn' and put both his Ink-eyes into the graveyard.

Someone tried to attack me with a creature and ninjitsu'd in Ink-Eyes so I smiled and played Gather Specimens . Later on I played Deathrender on Ink-Eyes so when they finally killed it I was able to bring out Inkwell Leviathan.
There was also the planechase match I was playing where my opponent and I were stuck at Goldmeadow with a bunch of goats out. We finally planeswalk on his turn and get to Velis Vel. I had 18 goats out and he had 20. Needless to say I lost to gigantic goats.
Last night, I was playing an M10 Draft at my first FNM in over a year
so, this kid built the strangest deck I've ever seen.
he ran 3x bountiful harvest plus this anoying lifegain suite, that just prolonged the game, but, the kicker was when he played solemn offering, targeting his own ornithopter. he then said, that he only added the ornithopter to nuke with his own solemn offering. he also ran 2x spellbooks, and not a single card draw outlet.
Playing in the Alara Reborn prerelease at my store. I'd opened up some pretty good stuff for a Bant deck with a lot of Exalted, but I was having trouble dealing with the flying stuff my opponent was laying down. Still, he wasn't doing much better against me with my Rhox Warmonk boosted by three exalted creatures and a Knight of New Alara. He'd tapped out to attack me the last turn, and I couldn't understand why. He'd have killed me the next turn, but I could kill him first with the Warmonk and gain 9 life to boot.
Me: Attack step?
Him: Intimidation Bolt your Sighted-Caste Sorceror.
Me: ... Pay 1 blue to give my Sorceror shroud.
Him: ... Good game.
I think that may be the only time I've ever seen the SCS's activated ability be relevant.
