Playing Numot the Devastator force deflection against ImmortalWitnesses Wort, The Raidmother and a couple of other decks...plenty of mana in play, and a Reiterate, Knowledge Exploitation, Blue Sun's Zenith in hand...my turn rolls around and i decide to hit the Wort deck with the Knowledge Exploitation to try and get something for the win...and while going through it i pull out his Early Harvest, go infinite and deck anyone...off color deck play for the win?
I floated 2 mana, sacrificed Saffi to save the Lark, then let his Obliterate happen. 'Lark died, bringing back Saffi and Riftsweeper, sweeping his Ulamog into his library. I then used the 2 mana to sacrifice Reveillark 2 more times which allows me to sweep his other Eldrazi back and bring back my Keeper of Progenitus onto the battlefield.
I now have Saffi, 'Lark, Keeper of Progenitus, 3 lands and a Perilous Forays to my opponents having nothing on board. Needless to say, they conceded shortly afterward ^^
Thelas (evil Sygg), Silence (Jhoira), and I (Oona) were all playing blue in a game. Thelas decides to Knowledge Exploitation Silence. Knowing there are tons of expensive sorceries in his deck, I decide to Misdirection it toward me. He finds my Knowledge Exploitation (which I forgot I was running), and casts it at Silence. He gets Obliterate, destroying all permanents except my Phyrexian Arena. I am at 8 life.
So I'm desperately digging for answers (I Arcane Denial a Sphere of the Suns just to draw a card!) and on the last possible card, I draw Memory Plunder, taking Thelas' Knowledge Exploitation for Cryptic Command to bounce my Phyrexian Arena. Then I swing with my faeries to nickel and dime the rest of the players out, having not missed a land drop thanks to double drawing every turn. Man did they make me pull that one out of my ass.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Playing my Karona, False God spirits deck against Godo voltron and Thraximundar. Godo has been playing nothing but equips, Thrax is stuck at 5 land, and I'm getting manaflooded with a few spirits on the board. Around turn 6 or 7, Godo (who I've beat down to about 18) casts its general, then Thrax uses Bribery on him and takes Ulamog. I know I can't kill Godo this turn, so I swing at him with a flyer and pass. Godo equips Kitesail and General's Kabuto and swings at me once, then leaves Godo untapped. Ulamog swings at me. Then I play Karona and kill Godo, causing Ulamog to disappear.
Now it's just me and a slightly manascrewed Thrax. I end my turn, so he gets Karona; he swings at me once, then, as I have a Steely Resolve naming spirits, uses a Slave of Bolas to kill Karona. I manage to topdeck a Conflux, but unfortunately all my spirits are exiled thanks to my own Iname, Death Aspect and Thrax's Relic of Progenitus... so I go for all 5 Hondens. However, Thrax has started to topdeck lands. Next turn I play the green and black shrines, and he plays Wound Reflection; I get two spirits and make him discard two cards, then play the white and blue shrines. Thrax finally gets to 7 lands and makes Thrax, but forgets I have some spirit tokens to block with. In my upkeep, he loses the rest of his cards, I gain 8 life, make 4 spirits, and draw 4 cards. I play out the last shrine, remove Thrax, and the game is over shortly.
As a connoisseur of fun, interesting matches, I still to this day have not been able to craft that "perfect deck"; the deck that I can play and have fun over time, doesn't get boring, but simultaneously is fun to play against. I honestly don't think it exists. It's like a unicorn. A ninja unicorn.
I'm completely screwed on white mana with six mountains out and all white cards in hand minus a Word Of Seizing. His field is Spike Weaver, Wickerbough Elder (with -1/-1 counter still on it), Mystic Snake, and Coiling Oracle. He taps out to play Saproling Burst before attacking, then goes all in. I cast the Word Of Seizing taking control of the Saproling Burst, making 4 3/3 blockers, and brutalizing his board. Then to add insult to injury, I just remove all the counters from the Burst to say I pulled off a nice 5-for-1.

Last night on MTGO I was in a 4 person game. One player was knocked out already so it was me with MonoB, player A with U/B/R and player B with U/W/G.
U/B/R player Time Stretchs and on his second extra turn plays the card where you get Pegasus Tokens for each life point you have. He's got one untapped Underground Sea which I Strip Mine because he's got Mirari's Wake and I want to play my Massacre Wurm
Wurm resolves... gg He just laughed and said that if he's got to go, that's a way he's totally ok with. lost 66 life that turn from one spell
Two days ago, my friend unveiled his new Wort, the Raidmother deck, and we played several games with it. I was using Saffi Eriksdotter, and the matches were hilarious.
The deck was a ton of fun to play with and to play against, and I definitely recommend people to try out this style of Wort deck. Your friends will love you until you unleash the horde on them ^^
While this isn't a "crazy play" per-say, it was pretty awesome.
I was playing my Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker deck. I had a Rings of Brighthearth, Kiki-Jiki, and many, many lands (thanks late game and Solemn Simulacrum!) in play. I topdeck a Dragon Tyrant, cast it and pass the turn. At my opponent's end step, I copy Dragon Tyrant, and then copied the ability. During my pre-combat main phase I make two more Dragon Tyrants.
Turn sideways.
Yeah, five 6/6 flying, double strike, tramplers gets the job done. 60 damage to the face.

Having RRRRRRRRRRRR open at your upkeep was impressive, but the fact is your opponent(s) were idiots for leaving Kiki-Jiki out that long.
Toward the end of a FFA game, my only opponent (Kemba, Kha Regent) resolves Elspeth's ultimate, making his permanents indestructible. He passes the turn, asking how I plan to win.
On my turn, I draw Tidespout Tyrant and grin. I cast the tyrant and use a kicked Rite of Replication on it, bouncing a Snow-Covered Plains. I proceed to cast an Acidic Slime, returning six more SCPs to his hand; at this point my opponent says he thinks he is going to be sick. I follow up by casting Swords to Plowshares, bouncing his remaining four lands and two equipment and exiling his Kemba's Legion. His board now empty, he scoops.

This makes me happy considering one of my biggest peeves in EDH is how often people think that they have attained a board position to which there can't possibly be an answer.

Still, nice Mono-Red Rite of Replication.
Yeah, I had an Extraplanar Lens in play. That or Gauntlet of Power are the only ways I'm going to pull something like that off. Unless the game has gone on waaay too long...
I actually have a deck extremely similar to that Wort list (check my sig). No one in my group lets me play with it very often. =/
Wow, your list is waaaaay too similar to his. I think he must have consulted your thread and adapted more than just a few ideas. I can spot only a few minute differences between the two. You even run the exact same amount of lands!
I think adding Sarkhan Vol would be really good in your list. Randomly making a whole ton of tokens and swinging with them would be awesome! Frontier Guide seems a bit inefficient here, so it could go for Sarkhan. Oh, and have you considered Howl of the Night Pack? It's like a Wolfbriar Elemental for less, and having played the deck, I know you can get out most of your Forests quite easily.
So I am playing Savra, Queen of the Golgari in a 5 player FFA and an opponent is playing mono-G. I ramp a bit w/ Explosive Vegetation then topdeck Eternal Witness getting back vegetation, ramping out even more. I then drop mortapod. mono-G hits his witness to grab something trivial. What he doesnt realize is I now have a ton of mana and an Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni in hand. I mortapod his witness (and his only creature in play) and swing with my witness. It connects, so I drop in Ink-Eyes, bouncing my witness to hand and reviving his witness which grabs me more vegetation. I pod it up and repeat each turn w/ Sac backup to keep the board clean. Just insane.
Someone finally crypts my grave, but still...
BW EDH, Board wipe, Lighthouse Chronologist with 7 counters during my turn, play Baneslayer Angel, pass turn.
My turn again due to Lighthouse, Time Stretch (for 9 due to general), rite of replication kicked (8 with general), 18 mana available, on the Baneslayer, swing with the first angel. Next turn, untap, Time Warp (now 3 turns), stormtide lithathian, swing for 30, next two turns swing for 38 for game.

Was at 3 life tonight out of a 4-player EDH, 1 opponent dead (so 2 opponents alive). They're at 35-40 each. I tap Boseiju, Who Shelters All, lose two life, make a Puppeteer Clique uncounterable, resolve it, then in conjunction with Ashnod's Altar and Nim Deathmantle proceed to empty graveyards and swing with a ton of dudes, most of which had ETB effects (titans and a magister sphinx).
They've never seen persist interactions with altar before
I guess my favorite was playing Guile on one turn, attacking the next bringing him to 34, and then casting a kicked Rite of Replication after that, giving me a total 36 power on the board, and him only having 1 creature on the field. It was over by turn 7.

wow, why are other people up at this hour, got beaten to this comment hard
I was in a five player game, from left to right, Kraj, Ertai, Oros, Ghost Ship, and Ixidor (myself.) Ertai player had a fully leveled up Lighthouse Chronologist, Ghost Ship threatened to grab his copy to send the game into a nigh stale mate. The relevant cards on my field, Soothsaying, Extraplanar Lens (on island,) Temple Bell, and 10 or so islands. I had a Palinchron in hand, and cast it. No response. So I generated infinite mana, used Soothsaying to dig for Mind over Matter and put Ulamog under that (didn't have to, but it made it simpler to show how I win.) Use the Bell to draw Mind Over Matter, cast it, and proceed to go infinite. That's what they get for making fun of Morph EDH.
Another game, this time it's Oros, Gwafa, and Nori the Wary (myself.) I get Vicious Shadows. Through this, I'm able to wear away everyone. Gwafa casts Eye of the Storm, Oros casts Consuming Vapors, and my suspended Wheel of Fate is cast (all exiled and copied, etc.) I have four creatures in play, with a suspended Greater Gargadon with five time counters. I cast Hellion Eruption, saccing my four tokens. This deals 28 to Oros, killing him. I get my four tokens, then sac them to the Gargadon, bringing it to one counter, and dealing 28 to Gwafa. He's now at ten. He takes his turn, doesn't do anything, and I kill him with a Gargadon.

Yesterday I played one of the longest games of Magic I'd ever played. 4 person EDH. I'm piloting Captain Sisay against Merieke, Kemba, and Reaper King.
I get Sisay out on turn 3 and she immediately gets Pathed by the Merieke player. Okay, it's going to be one of those games. Luckily, I had my ace: Survival of the Fittest. I use Survival to start setting up Reveillark combos and Aura Shards to blow up tons of annoying cards. Eventually creatures and enchantments get Wrathed by Austere Command but I have Sun Titan to get back Survival and Aura Shards. I also get Genesis in the yard.
Eventually, every turn I would Genesis for Reveillark, evoke it for Duplicant (killing whatever was problematic) and Karmic Guide (returning whatever got killed in the last turns), Aura Shardsing a bunch of stuff including Duplicant to do it again. Oh, and always with an active Sun Titan. Eventually I went a couple of turns without getting Wrathed again and got enough mana and Kamahl to overrun everyone.

The Jhoira pilot has her out and suspended Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and his trusty Pathrazer, then decided to Obliterate everything. It turns out that wasn't a very good plan, since I had access to 2 mana, Saffi, Reveillark, Perilous Forays and a Riftsweeper on the battlefield.
I floated 2 mana, sacrificed Saffi to save the Lark, then let his Obliterate happen. 'Lark died, bringing back Saffi and Riftsweeper, sweeping his Ulamog into his library.

To start with, this guy ran only basic lands, and had literally ALL the Mana Flare effects available to his colours. I'm talking the whole shebang, with Mana Flare, Gauntlets of Power, Extraplanar Lens, Mana Reflection, Heartbeat of Spring, etc. Meanwhile, I had a measly Keeper of Progenitus and Mirari's Wake. The games quickly turned into a mana-fest and always ended in splashy plays.
To wit, there was a game where he generated 34 something mana, cast Genesis Wave into Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloth and Sarkhan Vol and overran me with tokens.
Another game I made a couple dozen mana thanks to his symmetrical mana flare effects and used Kamahl, Fist of Krosa to beat him with my own lands.
After a while, we switched decks, and I was piloting his deck. I had out 4 Mana Flare effects and a Magus of the Candelabra. I made tons of mana, stole my own Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and overran him with lands.
