"I have no idea what it's like not to be a straight white male, and the experiences of others are irrelevant." -Conservative Motto
Calling someone a Commie is flaming and must be stopped, but turning the word Conservative into a loaded pejorative and using it over and over again is perfectly acceptable.

Through me the way to the suffering city; Through me the everlasting pain; Through me the way that runs among the Lost. Justice urged on my exalted Creator: Divine Power made me, The Supreme Wisdom and the Primal Love. Nothing was made before me but eternal things And I endure eternally. Abandon all hope - You Who Enter Here.
I went infinite with Geth in a multiplayer game using cards from each of my opponents =), one opponent had Overburden in play that i was using to good effect with cabal coffers, when doing a bit of theft on a captain sisay deck, i milled Azusa Lost but Seeking and snapped that up, with geth returning her to the battlefield under my control Overburden triggered, and i returned Cabal Coffers with the trigger and used the extra landdrops azusa provides to drop coffers again, and in the Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker decks graveyard i see a Phyrexian altar which let's me put sac azusa back to sisays graveyard, allowing me to steal it again with geth bouncing cabal coffers again with overburden and playing it again with the land drops and repeating till i had infinite mana and milled everyone out for the win*
*captain sisay ended up shuffling all their non-creature/artifact cards back into their deck because of an ulamog that i stole's trigger, but they conceded to my gigantic board after they didnt draw a wrath effect next turn.
lord of tresserhorn plays a kami of the crescent moon on turn two, followed by an urborg. no one really does anything, and I get Life from the loam in my grave. turn 4, I dredge into corpse connoisseur and have animate dead in hand. I set myself up to reanimate a primeval titan. then, the yukora player plays extraplanar lens with a swamp. and there's an urborg on the field. I reanimate my titan, get my coffers and a maze of ith. then yukora uses his awesome mana to drop drana, skithryx, the blight dragon and the greaves, which go on skittles dropping lord of tresserhorn to 5 poison counters. meanwhile, wort is doing nothing but playing meaningless gobos and ramping. I untap and draw praetor's cousel. with the coffers, I have 16 mana. this is my hand:
I cast damnation, killing everything. then I counsel the yukora player, getting his coffers, play and activate. 24 mana. cycle barren moor, draw decree of pain. play the mimeoplasm, copying skittles+primeval titan. kill yukora.
I manage to kill lord of tresserhorn by mimeoplasming his thraximundar and a 6/6 in two attacks, but i've been dropped to 10 life. I use decree of pain to wipe wort's board, draw 4 lands and a demonic tutor. I lost my coffers to targeted LD at some point, so im tapped out. next turn i'm tutoring for buried alive and my lord of extinction+triskelion combo to kill wort. I confidently pass the turn with him having 11 mana and 1 card in life. his turn goes a bit like this.
Ya, I think that was a table fail on reading the card. Urborg just changes the land type by adding swamp to the type. The lens would make all lands with the NAME swamp add more.

BOOM! and so I lost like an idiot. for the record, he topdecked that mountain, and had the sangui in his hand since turn 2.
Just so you know, you can't counsel other players, you only bring back your graveyard to hand.

Also, in a different game where I was Creatureless Esper, I Spelljacked a Primeval Titan and next turn I Desertioned a Vorinclex... All from the same player.

Last night we did a 3-way 2-headed giant game that lasted 3 hours. Teams were Kamahl, fist of Krosa and Geth, lord of the vault, Kaalia of the vast and Progenitus Planeswalkers, and Kemba with me playing Riku of the two reflections.
High points included:
- Geth having a Thrashing Wumpus on a Mimic Vat as Kamahl came out for the fourth time to kill the rest of Progenitus's land. (that general combo was a bit more synergistic than expected)
- Turning an Elspeth, Knight Errant with 8 counters on it, a ajani goldmane with 5 counters on it, and mimic vat into elephants...during Progenitus's upkeep with leyline of anticipation and terastodon.
- Geth finishing by stealing my eternal witness to return and playing ashnod's alter, then taking my birthing pod, using that to get out gravedigger off the witness, then going infinite colorless mana using deathrender and the cadaver imp in his graveyard (note: this is the first time any infinite combo has gone off in our group). He stole my seedborn muse followed by Vorinclex, the voice of hunger. He finished milling everyone out during our upkeep.
- Kemba having 3 of the protection swords in hand, and 5 equipment in play and never being able to equip anything because pestilence would kill it in response to trying to equip.
A couple recent ones. Casting a kicked Rite of Replication on an opponent's Primeval Titan and getting almost all of my deck's land in play so that despite his Vorinclex, I had plenty of land every turn. (I was using Momir Vig)
Casting an entwined Grab the Reins on a 10/10 Mimeoplasm after he knocks another opponent down to near death, and dealing ten to its controller, putting him within easy kill range of my burn spells. (I was using Heartless Hidetsugu)

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
It's a 3-player game, Venser (wizards) - Tsabo Tavoc (Invasion block) - Tolsimir Wolfblood (tokens). So Hornet Queen and friends are keeping everyone else at bay. I go Storm Herd for 35 tokens, double Rhys the Redeemed to make 35 more. Then this happens.
I literally burst out laughing. I lost to a card I had never even heard of before. I had the stone-cold nuts in hand, too.
in a 4 player match, the following happened:
player1: island, sol ring, dimir signet
every other player played a land and passed
played1 turn 2: island, bribery black myojin everyone discards their hands.
pretty sick
Black myogin from bribery didn't cast from hand, no divinity counter and no one discard.

The funniest play I've seen in a long time was splitting a Fact or Fiction into a 5-0 pile and the person heavily considering the 0 pile. If there hadn't been a Krosan Grip in the 5 to kill the Vicious Shadows that was going to eat him, I'm almost positive he would have taken the 0.

Evil is even, truth is an odd number, and death is a full stop.
Nobbing around with my Ulasht deck. I'm drawing into plenty of token makers, and I'm holding Vitalizing Wind and Overrun. I figure I'm in good board position, and I draw into a Warp World, which I haven't tested. Figuring it deserves a chance, post board-wipe I drop an Avenger of Zendikar, with just enough mana from Gaea's Cradle to throw down my Warp World right after (after using Sprout Swarm a couple of times....)
Terastodon blew up a Relic of Progenitus, which exiled all Graveyards, and then Ulamog blew up Anger after that trigger resolved. I didn't get mana off Mana Echoes initially because it comes in after creatures... But then I just bounced Siege-Gang Commanderwith Erratic Portal and replayed it for enough mana to hit Overrun AND Vitalizing Wind simultaneously, creating 13 hasty tramplers with anywhere between 10-19 P/T. The total power of my creatures, ignoring the arrested creatures, was 139.
Warp World is definitely sticking in the deck from now on.

Ulamog destroying a permanent is on cast, not on enters the battlefield, so he doesn't trigger from a Warp World. Still, I'm sure shooting the Anger with Siege-Gang Commander would've worked fine.
I'm playing my Braids, Conjurer Adept deck in a three-player game, with multiple draw effects and Teferi's Puzzle Box in play, and it's late game, so the board is filled with bombs on all sides. My playgroup tends to swing back and forth between super-aggressive and super-passive games, and this was one of our "don't over-commit, see how much crazy stuff we can get on the board" games.
Somehow, I manage to hang on through someone playing Avatar of Slaughter, followed by Master Warcraft (thanks to a combination of life gain and bouncing/tapping threats). On my turn, I topdeck Kederekt Leviathan to wipe the board, then proceed to play Walk The Aeons, with buyback, three turns in a row. On the fourth turn I finally get enough board presence to finish off both of my opponents.

COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
I'm playing Jaya Ballard, opponents have Riku (my deck, on loan), Ghave, and Reaper King.
Game has been going for a while, and Riku is out (thanks to a Valakut shot, of all things). Ghave has a pretty solid board including Umezawa's Jitte, Skullclamp, Emeria Angel, and Kitchen Finks. King has Conspiracy set to scarecrow (surprise!) and a couple other enchantments. I've got Jaya greaved up, Gratuitous Violence, and Braid of Fire with seven counters. Jaya is keeping me pretty safe from attacks with the ability to go nuclear at any point and is also keeping King off the board, so Conspiracy doesn't get too out of hand. Ghave is at 42 or so, and hasn't taken a hit yet, while King and I are both hanging out around the high 20s/low 30s.
When my turn rolls around, I use Braid's mana to blow Jaya and clear the board of all creatures except the persisted Finks, drop a mountain to kill that, drop Godo, Bandit Warlord finding Grafted Exoskeleton, equip him with that and greaves, then take both remaining people out of the game with 10 infect apiece.
Sorin 6 counters
Ajani vengenant 6 counters
jace TMS 2 counters
Garruk wildspeaker 4 counters
sarkhan the mad 5 counters
Karn liberated 18 counters
chandra nalaar 7 counters
Gideon jura 8 counters
venser 5 counters
Liliana vess 6 counters
Tezz the seeker 5 counters
Nicol bolas 8 counters
Nothing else on board(for anyone) 7 cards in hand. 7 in each of the other players hands.

The following game, I run Multani, and get a fourth turn entwined Tooth and Nail off of a Green Sun's Zenithed Rofellos and Quirion Ranger, finding Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. I manage to knock out one person with Multani before Clex gets Mind Controlled, and a Knowledge Exploitationed Storm Herd for 39 tokens is too much to deal with. Still a perfectly good example of why Rofellos is fantastic.
