In a four player game between ink treader nephelim, kaalia(me), sliver queen, and teneb something awesome happened.
First off the decks
kaalia(me)- slightly modifed precon, not enough card advantage for the long term, needs work
sliver queen- a stupidly fast mana accel deck, hat about 10 mana by turn 4-5 and 30 by like turn 10.
teneb- looked a lot like what the wizards precon for teneb would look like, very solid but nothing silly or spectacular.
Ink-treader- very silly combos polymorph, fiery gambit etc.
So the game is being locked down by the sliver queen player due to a ton of mana legacy weapon, and bringing it back every tim it goes blown up. We keep chipping away at his life totalt but the ink treader player refuses to kill him. Eventually the sliver queen player exiles all the permenants of the ink treader player(if you noticed i havent mentioned kaalia or teneb because we havent done anything, like at all). The ink treader player throws some burn at mr. sliver queen which allows me to finish him off with comet storm for 9. So at this point he dies and the next threat just had all of his permanants exiled, so in one stroke the two massive threats at the table basically killed each other. I wish i could say i pulled out a win, but i'd be lying that honor goes to teneb.
My turns went:
Turn 1 - Drop land
Turn 2 - Drop land, Demonic Tutor for Prismatic Omen
Turn 3 - Drop Reliquary Tower, cast Prismatic.
Turn 4 - Drop land
Turn 5 - Diabolic Tutor for Storm Herd
Turn 6 - Drop land then ended the game:
- I Artifact Mutation Venser's Journal for 5 tokens.
- Casted Phyrexian Altar and sac tokens.
- Casted Spontaneous Generation for 12 tokens and saced 2 more tokens with 1 untapped land for Fecundity.
- Saced 10 tokens and casted Storm Herd for 40 Tokens. Also drew 10 cards.
- Saced about 20 tokens for 20 mana (4 of each color) and drew another 20 cards.
- Casted Reveillark, Acidic Slime, Karmic Guide, Eternal Witness, Fires of Yavimaya, my general, Avenger of Zendikar a boat load of times, drew a ton of cards. Repeated Reveillark combo as well as Altar-Avenger combo.
- Destroyed everyone's land, enchantments, and artifact. Recasted Storm Herd about 100 times and swung with all them with haste.
Later that game I cast my general, Wrexial, The Risen Deep, given haste with Greaves and Islandwalking his way into two different Time Warps. (Multi-player game).
Zedruu had just cast Dimension Breach to reset a Karn. I got stuck with only land on my field when it Dimension Breach hit, and no land in hand, so I tossed out a R/G dual for the first turn, and spent the next 3 turns throwing out my Karoo lands, while slowly building back up, along with Sharuum and Zedruu, (Horde of Notions had to leave). I was able to land a Seedborn Muse and was holding onto come bounce and counter backup. Ended up having enough land to throw out a Capsize on both players turn, then rolled into a Terastodon to blow up Sharuum's mana production, since he had his mana rocks out. Next turn I drew into a Splinter Twin.
Tossed it on the Terastodon and hit Sharuum's lands on my turn, then his turn, and both Sharuum and Zedruu scooped.
I just had a game where I resolved Tooth and Nail (entwined, of course) about eleven times thanks to an endless stream of recurring/cloning Eternal Witness with Sun Titan and various other clones and recursion engines. It also helped that the first T&N I resolved got me Academy Rector which then got me Mirari's Wake, ensuring I could use T&N twice a turn.
Playing a game with my recently acquired Zedruu deck against Animar and Riku. Animar's pretty much been dominating the whole game, and has a huge field, including It That Betrays and a sizeable Hamletback Goliath, after I had only just managed to get rid of his other Eldrazi. Animar had just killed Riku and I was down to the single digits, facing down an overwhelming army. I knew there was only one card that could save me... My turn rolls around, I draw a couple cards off Zedruu. Nothing. I had but one hope. I counted up all my lands, then set aside eight of them, dumping the rest into my last chance.
... I'm sorry, I've always wanted to do that. Needlessly hammy reading aside, this game had gone on for quite a while. Made a last ditch mass draw and hoped for that Insurrection. Got there. Then we spent the next 30 seconds watching in suspense as the Animar player flipped cards off the top of his library for extra dramatic effect to see if he'd pull any counterspells. No dice. It was a good day to be me.
In a four player game, my friend casted a 2nd turn Collective Voyage wherein we all pitched in for a total of 10 lands (due to sol rings and other mana artifacts); my turn was next, so I played land, played Praetor's Grasp on his deck, took his Time Stretch, played it. First exra turn, I Memory Plunder his Time Stretch, then played Buried Alive, putting Sheoldred, Eternal Witness and Rune Scarred Demon in the yard, then played Beacon of unrest on my Sheoldred. After I got a Crystal Shard with the demon, everyone just scooped. XD. Accidental infinite turn combo on the 3rd turn, lol.
This was on MTGO a week or two ago around turn 12 of a 4 player game I cast Massace wurm dropping one opp to below 15, then finish him with my board of revilarkkarmic guideangel of despair and Serra's ascendant, I pass the turn. The next opponent cast rite of replication WITH kicker targeting massacre wurm I die lols, then!!!!! the last remain opponent cast rite of replication with replication targeting the massacre wurm token!!!! and we all die in a fit of lols.
Most eventful turn 1 I've ever seen. I'm playing my Sedris reanimator deck, fighting Kresh, Zur, and Mimeoplasm. Out of the opening hand, I reveal a Chancellor of the Spires - and so does the Mimeoplasm player! I mill seven, Mimeo mills seven, and Kresh and Zur mill 14 each! Wow! Now, I'm especially excited about this for several reasons. One, my opening hand had a Reanimate in it. Two, one of the cards milled into my own graveyard is Anger. And three, I have a Blood Crypt in my hand as well! So I'm super excited, and I start scanning the graveyards for the perfect dude to reanimate, especially since I'm up first. And there it is, sitting beautifully in the Kresh graveyard, calling to me:
Oh baby, this is gonna be good! Best of all, I can take out that pesky Zur player on the FIRST turn, before he can lock us all out. So I drop my Blood Crypt, grin and cast Reanimate on that awesome fatty, who's going to come in as a 42/42 with haste. As I cast it, the Zur player looks at me.
"You're going to swing at me with that thing, aren't you?"
"Oh yeah."
"Well then. Pact of Negation."
I look at him funny. I tell him I don't understand why he played that. He says - "It's simple. This is the epitome of a control deck. You think I'm giving up control to you just because you've beaten me before my first turn? No sir. If I'm dying turn 1, I'm doing it on MY terms."
He died with honor, the other players cheered him (since I didn't get my giant beater), and I went on to lose to Mimeoplasm... but we all agreed that Zur was the true winner that day.
On the other side of the table, Karn is doing nothing and Sakashima has a cryptoplasm out, White Akroma plays a Serra Avatar that happens to be a large and lethal, 40/40. Feeling that im doing nothing, and stuck on three mana, I play Omnath. Turn goes back to Sakashima and she decides to copy my Omnath and not the 40/40 flyer.
She does however eat the Serra Avatar with a Phyrexian IndigesterLightning Greaves it up, and smacks red akroma in the face for lethal, 4 players left in the game.
White Akroma decides, that the fun is over and ironically uses Akroma's Vengeance which pretty much ruins the game for Karn and his ton of mana artifacts.
I finally get out of my mana screw drawing my forth land some land ramp. Nothing happens for the next few turns but some moderate damage, a few spells and me getting a ton of ramp and a Caged Sun.
On Sakashima's turn, she plays a Hivemind with 6 mana spare for back up. White Akroma has a ton of soldiers from a Conqueror's pledge and Nomads' Assembly, and looks like the game is gonna end soon. I draw the most useless spell to take ut soldier tokens... Squall Line... BUT WAIT! the life totals are 29, 17. 9 and 40 for me! and I have almost unlimited mana do to ramping and caged sun! Realizing there is a Hive mind out I need to have X=8 to kill everyone, which I do. And Sakashima says she has no counter back up... but she does have a Fact or Fiction.
The top five cards for the FoF are: Island, Clone, Cancel, Keiga the Tide Star, and... Twincast. So... She casts the twin cast targeting my sqaull line, then everyones copy of twin cast targets my squall line...
8*8=64 Damage to everyone, and the game ended in a draw. so close after being mana screwed did I win that.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
First one is my Damia deck piloted by a friend, vs my Sek'kuar deck piloted by me. Turn four due to some heavy Mana Ramping my friend played Traumatize. Well there goes a good 46 cards. My turn I draw, play my Liliana Vess, tutor and hope. Praetor's Counsel didn't get milled (I wasn't willing to look through the mass that had once been my library). Drop that on top, play a forest, and end my turn. His turn again Mimeoplasm drops in copying my Massacre Wurm and using Genesis for counters, well crap, my Birds of Paradise and Pawn of Ulamog die outright. My turn, I draw and play my Praetor's Counsel to a resounding no counterspells, and pass turn after I lay a land and drop Birds back into play. While I'm being attacked I'm looking at what got milled, Melira, Murderous Redcap, Temple Bell, Nim Deathmantle, Wild Cantor, yeah... My turn again, I play Melira, play Murderous Redcap, Play land, and finally drop Pawn of Ulamog and with the last of my colored mana Wild Cantor. Used the Redcap to wipe his board, making 2 mana per via Ashnods altar from my turn 3 play, and go off till I've got 20 mana, pop my wild cantor, recur it with mantle, do this 3 times and cast Pawn of Ulamog, recur some more now that I'm getting tokens, drop Symbiotic Wurm, recur some more now that I've got infinite tokens effectively and play out every single non-land in my hand to the tune of GG on board. Including Goblin Bombardment. I follow that up by tutoring with Liliana for my Kamahl, tapping the temple bell to draw it, and playing him, then casting insurrection and with it on the stack turning all his lands into creatures. I then end it by summoning my Sekkuar and making a few trillion 3/1s with haste and swing in for game.
The other story isn't as long winded but still good. That first game was his first game of EDH and in retrospect Sekkuar wasn't the fairest thing to play. So we went through his cards and build him a Thraximundar deck. I played my Tariel deck against it. We go back and forth trading creatures for a few turns, and I top deck an Animate Dead with Bladewing the Risen and Borgarden Hellkite in my Graveyard awesome, but first before that I'm going to drop out a couple mana rocks, then next turn try for a roflstomp via anger in gy as well. His turn Relic of Progentius. Well then that wasn't good. My turn again drop out a Phyrexian Arena, then drop Wheel of Fortune. Good draw, play my land for the turn and pass turn. Few turns later Thraximundar is online and killing me 1 creature at a time, it's most recent victim my Angel of Despair I'm sitting on 7 gen damage. I then Rise from the Grave the angel to kill his Thrax. And that's my turn. He drops a land and resummons with exactly enough and I'm now at 14 general damage with 2 life left. I draw and top deck Akroma's Vengeance and Yosei. Awesome I cast the Vengance, loose a couple mana rocks but I've still got enough lands to pull off what I want. Down to one life with no creatures he draws, and plays a land and ends turn. I draw, cast Yosei, cast Avatar of Slaughter and end turn. He draws, plays a land, Thraxi is back, swings in so I sac Yosei and lock him out of his next untap, and watch my Avatar of Slaughter black and watch them kill each other. My turn I draw into, Terminate. Awesome it can buy me one more turn if he summons thrax. His turn he draws, and Poison the Well on my Temple of the False God for game. My next card? Living Death with enough power to survive Thraxi and swing in for game sitting in my GY.
Also unrelated but pretty awesome, Turn 3 he played Serra Ascendant, turn 4 I player Phyrexian Metamorph, turn 5 he attacks I block, and turn 5 for me I play Wrexial. He drops Dread Return bringing Serra Ascendant back. I swing in with Wrexial and Dread Return my Phyrexian Metamorph and copy his Serra Ascendant. He swings in with his, no blocks, I swing in with mine no blocks. For 3 turns till he drops Archangel of Strife and we both name war. Neither of us is willing to swing anymore.

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 once activated djinn of wishes ability in response to my opponent playing some key card and found I had a counterspell on the top of my library. This was only crazy since I had no idea what was on the top of my library and was just wishing blindly so I wouldn't lose. It was amazing. I still lost but it was just such a fun moment I didn't even care.
On the other side of the table, Karn is doing nothing and Sakashima has a cryptoplasm out, White Akroma plays a Serra Avatar that happens to be a large and lethal, 40/40. Feeling that im doing nothing, and stuck on three mana, I play Omnath. Turn goes back to Sakashima and she decides to copy my Omnath and not the 40/40 flyer.
She does however eat the Serra Avatar with a Phyrexian IndigesterLightning Greaves it up, and smacks red akroma in the face for lethal, 4 players left in the game.
White Akroma decides, that the fun is over and ironically uses Akroma's Vengeance which pretty much ruins the game for Karn and his ton of mana artifacts.
I finally get out of my mana screw drawing my forth land some land ramp. Nothing happens for the next few turns but some moderate damage, a few spells and me getting a ton of ramp and a Caged Sun.
On Sakashima's turn, she plays a Hivemind with 6 mana spare for back up. White Akroma has a ton of soldiers from a Conqueror's pledge and Nomads' Assembly, and looks like the game is gonna end soon. I draw the most useless spell to take ut soldier tokens... Squall Line... BUT WAIT! the life totals are 29, 17. 9 and 40 for me! and I have almost unlimited mana do to ramping and caged sun! Realizing there is a Hive mind out I need to have X=8 to kill everyone, which I do. And Sakashima says she has no counter back up... but she does have a Fact or Fiction.
The top five cards for the FoF are: Island, Clone, Cancel, Keiga the Tide Star, and... Twincast. So... She casts the twin cast targeting my sqaull line, then everyones copy of twin cast targets my squall line...
8*8=64 Damage to everyone, and the game ended in a draw. so close after being mana screwed did I win that.
Just so you know, each copy would resolve separately, so everyone would take 8, then 8, then 8...until they're below 0 then you'll win.

You win that game....as the copies are cast and resolve, everyone takes damage. After the 4th resolution, in which case the 29 life player just died, you win the game. The other 4 do not resolve since all the other 3 players are dead.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
First one, I'm playing Animar, Soul of Elements/Slivers against a Progenitus deck and a Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund deck. Progenitus is on the board and attacks Karrthus for the kill, leaving just me, and I'm at a very low life total, so I'm dead next turn. I have Animar w/ 3 tokens and 2 slivers on the board (one of which gives Haste). In my hand I have 3 more slivers as well as Coat of Arms and an inconsequential Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger I cast each of the slivers in my hand for 1 mana each, and the Coat of Arms... then I cast Vorinclex just because it was cool to do so for only 2 mana. Then I attacked for the win with my sliver army!
Another game, this time I'm playing my Cromat/Planeswalker deck against the same Progenitus deck as above, and a Sol'kanar the Swamp King control deck. I hit big money and drop both Doubling Season and Rings of Brighthearth. I was going to cast Ajani Vengeant but draw Sorin Markov So I cast him then use his ultimate and copy it to control both of my opponent's next turns. At the end of my turn I cast the Ajani and use it to keep something tapped... just to get that last loyalty to be able to ultimate next turn. My biggest problem is that Progenitus had recently used Riku of Two Reflections to copy his Magmatic Force and my board is taking the biggest hit from it. I didn't get to do much with the Swamp King's turn except waste a spell, but on Progenitus' turn I used the Magmatic Force to kill of one of them, so now I'm only taking 3 points per upkeep from the remaining one. I then get back to my turn and Progenitus uses his Magmatic Force to ping me for 3 when he should have hit Ajani... but he didn't so I ultimate Ajani and copy it to both opponents. It takes a few more turns but at this point I get Mana Reflection on the board, drop a Karn Liberated, take out a couple of items for a couple of turns, then drop a couple of Titans and Cromat. Both opponents had started to make a come-back, but it was just too much for them to handle and I won again! Had the Progenitus player hit Ajani with the Magmatic Force rather than me, it would have been a completely different game.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
First off the decks
kaalia(me)- slightly modifed precon, not enough card advantage for the long term, needs work
sliver queen- a stupidly fast mana accel deck, hat about 10 mana by turn 4-5 and 30 by like turn 10.
teneb- looked a lot like what the wizards precon for teneb would look like, very solid but nothing silly or spectacular.
Ink-treader- very silly combos polymorph, fiery gambit etc.
So the game is being locked down by the sliver queen player due to a ton of mana legacy weapon, and bringing it back every tim it goes blown up. We keep chipping away at his life totalt but the ink treader player refuses to kill him. Eventually the sliver queen player exiles all the permenants of the ink treader player(if you noticed i havent mentioned kaalia or teneb because we havent done anything, like at all). The ink treader player throws some burn at mr. sliver queen which allows me to finish him off with comet storm for 9. So at this point he dies and the next threat just had all of his permanants exiled, so in one stroke the two massive threats at the table basically killed each other. I wish i could say i pulled out a win, but i'd be lying that honor goes to teneb.
The game only lasted 20 minutes because of the following:
My hand had Phyrexian Altar, Spontaneous Generation, Demonic Tutor, and Karmic Guide already. One of my opponents played Howling Mine,Font of Mythos , and Venser's Journal.
My turns went:
Turn 1 - Drop land
Turn 2 - Drop land, Demonic Tutor for Prismatic Omen
Turn 3 - Drop Reliquary Tower, cast Prismatic.
Turn 4 - Drop land
Turn 5 - Diabolic Tutor for Storm Herd
Turn 6 - Drop land then ended the game:
- I Artifact Mutation Venser's Journal for 5 tokens.
- Casted Phyrexian Altar and sac tokens.
- Casted Spontaneous Generation for 12 tokens and saced 2 more tokens with 1 untapped land for Fecundity.
- Saced 10 tokens and casted Storm Herd for 40 Tokens. Also drew 10 cards.
- Saced about 20 tokens for 20 mana (4 of each color) and drew another 20 cards.
- Casted Reveillark, Acidic Slime, Karmic Guide, Eternal Witness, Fires of Yavimaya, my general, Avenger of Zendikar a boat load of times, drew a ton of cards. Repeated Reveillark combo as well as Altar-Avenger combo.
- Destroyed everyone's land, enchantments, and artifact. Recasted Storm Herd about 100 times and swung with all them with haste.
Later that game I cast my general, Wrexial, The Risen Deep, given haste with Greaves and Islandwalking his way into two different Time Warps. (Multi-player game).
Zedruu had just cast Dimension Breach to reset a Karn. I got stuck with only land on my field when it Dimension Breach hit, and no land in hand, so I tossed out a R/G dual for the first turn, and spent the next 3 turns throwing out my Karoo lands, while slowly building back up, along with Sharuum and Zedruu, (Horde of Notions had to leave). I was able to land a Seedborn Muse and was holding onto come bounce and counter backup. Ended up having enough land to throw out a Capsize on both players turn, then rolled into a Terastodon to blow up Sharuum's mana production, since he had his mana rocks out. Next turn I drew into a Splinter Twin.
Tossed it on the Terastodon and hit Sharuum's lands on my turn, then his turn, and both Sharuum and Zedruu scooped.

Oh baby, this is gonna be good! Best of all, I can take out that pesky Zur player on the FIRST turn, before he can lock us all out. So I drop my Blood Crypt, grin and cast Reanimate on that awesome fatty, who's going to come in as a 42/42 with haste. As I cast it, the Zur player looks at me.
"You're going to swing at me with that thing, aren't you?"
"Oh yeah."
"Well then. Pact of Negation."
I look at him funny. I tell him I don't understand why he played that. He says - "It's simple. This is the epitome of a control deck. You think I'm giving up control to you just because you've beaten me before my first turn? No sir. If I'm dying turn 1, I'm doing it on MY terms."
He died with honor, the other players cheered him (since I didn't get my giant beater), and I went on to lose to Mimeoplasm... but we all agreed that Zur was the true winner that day.
Long game involving me (Kitsune Mystic/Autumn-Tail), Rafiq, Kiku, Jin-Gitaxias and Geth.
Long story short, we're recovering after a Cataclysm from Rafiq and I hit Open the Vaults, giving me this:

I won that game
On the other side of the table, Karn is doing nothing and Sakashima has a cryptoplasm out, White Akroma plays a Serra Avatar that happens to be a large and lethal, 40/40. Feeling that im doing nothing, and stuck on three mana, I play Omnath. Turn goes back to Sakashima and she decides to copy my Omnath and not the 40/40 flyer.
She does however eat the Serra Avatar with a Phyrexian Indigester Lightning Greaves it up, and smacks red akroma in the face for lethal, 4 players left in the game.
White Akroma decides, that the fun is over and ironically uses Akroma's Vengeance which pretty much ruins the game for Karn and his ton of mana artifacts.
I finally get out of my mana screw drawing my forth land some land ramp. Nothing happens for the next few turns but some moderate damage, a few spells and me getting a ton of ramp and a Caged Sun.
On Sakashima's turn, she plays a Hivemind with 6 mana spare for back up. White Akroma has a ton of soldiers from a Conqueror's pledge and Nomads' Assembly, and looks like the game is gonna end soon. I draw the most useless spell to take ut soldier tokens... Squall Line... BUT WAIT! the life totals are 29, 17. 9 and 40 for me! and I have almost unlimited mana do to ramping and caged sun! Realizing there is a Hive mind out I need to have X=8 to kill everyone, which I do. And Sakashima says she has no counter back up... but she does have a Fact or Fiction.
The top five cards for the FoF are: Island, Clone, Cancel, Keiga the Tide Star, and... Twincast. So... She casts the twin cast targeting my sqaull line, then everyones copy of twin cast targets my squall line...
8*8=64 Damage to everyone, and the game ended in a draw. so close after being mana screwed did I win that.

First one is my Damia deck piloted by a friend, vs my Sek'kuar deck piloted by me. Turn four due to some heavy Mana Ramping my friend played Traumatize. Well there goes a good 46 cards. My turn I draw, play my Liliana Vess, tutor and hope. Praetor's Counsel didn't get milled (I wasn't willing to look through the mass that had once been my library). Drop that on top, play a forest, and end my turn. His turn again Mimeoplasm drops in copying my Massacre Wurm and using Genesis for counters, well crap, my Birds of Paradise and Pawn of Ulamog die outright. My turn, I draw and play my Praetor's Counsel to a resounding no counterspells, and pass turn after I lay a land and drop Birds back into play. While I'm being attacked I'm looking at what got milled, Melira, Murderous Redcap, Temple Bell, Nim Deathmantle, Wild Cantor, yeah... My turn again, I play Melira, play Murderous Redcap, Play land, and finally drop Pawn of Ulamog and with the last of my colored mana Wild Cantor. Used the Redcap to wipe his board, making 2 mana per via Ashnods altar from my turn 3 play, and go off till I've got 20 mana, pop my wild cantor, recur it with mantle, do this 3 times and cast Pawn of Ulamog, recur some more now that I'm getting tokens, drop Symbiotic Wurm, recur some more now that I've got infinite tokens effectively and play out every single non-land in my hand to the tune of GG on board. Including Goblin Bombardment. I follow that up by tutoring with Liliana for my Kamahl, tapping the temple bell to draw it, and playing him, then casting insurrection and with it on the stack turning all his lands into creatures. I then end it by summoning my Sekkuar and making a few trillion 3/1s with haste and swing in for game.
The other story isn't as long winded but still good. That first game was his first game of EDH and in retrospect Sekkuar wasn't the fairest thing to play. So we went through his cards and build him a Thraximundar deck. I played my Tariel deck against it. We go back and forth trading creatures for a few turns, and I top deck an Animate Dead with Bladewing the Risen and Borgarden Hellkite in my Graveyard awesome, but first before that I'm going to drop out a couple mana rocks, then next turn try for a roflstomp via anger in gy as well. His turn Relic of Progentius. Well then that wasn't good. My turn again drop out a Phyrexian Arena, then drop Wheel of Fortune. Good draw, play my land for the turn and pass turn. Few turns later Thraximundar is online and killing me 1 creature at a time, it's most recent victim my Angel of Despair I'm sitting on 7 gen damage. I then Rise from the Grave the angel to kill his Thrax. And that's my turn. He drops a land and resummons with exactly enough and I'm now at 14 general damage with 2 life left. I draw and top deck Akroma's Vengeance and Yosei. Awesome I cast the Vengance, loose a couple mana rocks but I've still got enough lands to pull off what I want. Down to one life with no creatures he draws, and plays a land and ends turn. I draw, cast Yosei, cast Avatar of Slaughter and end turn. He draws, plays a land, Thraxi is back, swings in so I sac Yosei and lock him out of his next untap, and watch my Avatar of Slaughter black and watch them kill each other. My turn I draw into, Terminate. Awesome it can buy me one more turn if he summons thrax. His turn he draws, and Poison the Well on my Temple of the False God for game. My next card? Living Death with enough power to survive Thraxi and swing in for game sitting in my GY.
Also unrelated but pretty awesome, Turn 3 he played Serra Ascendant, turn 4 I player Phyrexian Metamorph, turn 5 he attacks I block, and turn 5 for me I play Wrexial. He drops Dread Return bringing Serra Ascendant back. I swing in with Wrexial and Dread Return my Phyrexian Metamorph and copy his Serra Ascendant. He swings in with his, no blocks, I swing in with mine no blocks. For 3 turns till he drops Archangel of Strife and we both name war. Neither of us is willing to swing anymore.
Just so you know, each copy would resolve separately, so everyone would take 8, then 8, then 8...until they're below 0 then you'll win.

You win that game....as the copies are cast and resolve, everyone takes damage. After the 4th resolution, in which case the 29 life player just died, you win the game. The other 4 do not resolve since all the other 3 players are dead.

Another game, this time I'm playing my Cromat/Planeswalker deck against the same Progenitus deck as above, and a Sol'kanar the Swamp King control deck. I hit big money and drop both Doubling Season and Rings of Brighthearth. I was going to cast Ajani Vengeant but draw Sorin Markov So I cast him then use his ultimate and copy it to control both of my opponent's next turns. At the end of my turn I cast the Ajani and use it to keep something tapped... just to get that last loyalty to be able to ultimate next turn. My biggest problem is that Progenitus had recently used Riku of Two Reflections to copy his Magmatic Force and my board is taking the biggest hit from it. I didn't get to do much with the Swamp King's turn except waste a spell, but on Progenitus' turn I used the Magmatic Force to kill of one of them, so now I'm only taking 3 points per upkeep from the remaining one. I then get back to my turn and Progenitus uses his Magmatic Force to ping me for 3 when he should have hit Ajani... but he didn't so I ultimate Ajani and copy it to both opponents. It takes a few more turns but at this point I get Mana Reflection on the board, drop a Karn Liberated, take out a couple of items for a couple of turns, then drop a couple of Titans and Cromat. Both opponents had started to make a come-back, but it was just too much for them to handle and I won again! Had the Progenitus player hit Ajani with the Magmatic Force rather than me, it would have been a completely different game.
They never resolved, the game was over first.
crazy plays only count if you follow the rule properly.
I couldn't get any spells to stick...
Also, Reaper King can turn games around so quickly...
Especially when it gets Sakashima the Impostor and/or Master Transmuter in EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.
Isn't that just the same as casting a Warp World? Same cmc too...
