Did I ever tell you about the game in which I was playing The Mimeoplasm and I got milled?
A long 4-player FFA with board sweepers everywhere. Someone was playing a Wheel of Fortune deck that was just drawing everyone out. The Mimeoplasm had been put on the bottom by a Hallowed Burial or something.
I had Wrexial in play and 7 cards left in my library exactly. I swung at the guy with Wheel of Fate in his graveyard. Cast it for free, drew my remaining 7, one of which was my general.
I cast it and made it a copy of Obstinate Familiar (??!?!?!??!!) with about 20 counters on it (I think Mortivore) from the same guy who was trying to deck us all. I didn't even know that card existed!
Graveyards got exiled shortly after, and I was left alive with no graveyard, no hand, no library. That's a first for me.
I'm building up a board with tokens, and Kresh is growing to be something of a threat. As assurance, I throw down Vicious Shadows in order to keep people from wiping the board. Across the table from me, the Mayael player adds a Novablast Wurm to his side of the field and throws down a Spearbreaker Behemoth to save his lonely Blazing Archon.
He looks at the board, pondering his attack step, then looks to me and says, "You look like a pretty big threat."
I stare back at him and say, "You really don't want to do that Ronny. Not even joking."
He swings with all his guys at me, and with the Novablast trigger on the stack, he activates his Spearbreaker to save his Archon. After it resolves a total of 7 creatures hit the yard, he has 5 cards in hand, and only 32 life. I point at Shadows and say, "I told you that wasn't a good idea."

Alright, so honestly this was more of a misplay situation...but still felt pretty good to me.
I was playing in a tournament, first pod. It was me with Reya, vs Geth and some fairy, can't remember it's name right now.
Anyway, Geth get's Hindered and Tunnel Visioned, so he's done. It's down to me and him. He gets back Hinder, and casts his general, letting him tuck a card from my hand and then Tunnel Vision me.

One play I made the same night(after the tournament, lost to Intet. Freakin dragon), I was playing a friend of mine using Omnath. I'm using Ulasht, and play Overabundance. Against Omnath. But after that turn, my opponent plays his turn, and I take mine. Genesis Wave. Hit....Doubling Season, Spawnwrithe, Life and Limb, and Slate of Ancestry.
Karona Allies VS Mishra Control. This was on Cockatrice, but I was doing a local game instead of being connected to the main server.
Karona's been off to a very bad start on our third game, and ends up with only 3 lands by turn 8. At this point, I've got an Inexorable Tide, a Molten Slagheap, and a pretty good set of mana.
He untaps, draws, and plays a fourth land. He passes because of color issues.
My turn, and I draw Grave Titan. I promptly cast him, proliferating another counter onto the Slagheap. I make my Zombies and pass.
He panics, knowing that leaving it unchecked would be the end of him. SO he makes an emergency play: Phyrexian Metamorph, copying the Titan. He passes after playing his 5th land. I EoT another counter onto Slagheap.
Little does he realize how much he just helped me. I untap, Word of Seizing his Titan, and swing with both to get 4 more Zombies. He blocks both, losing his two and getting only the Grave Titan back. Oh, and I get another counter on my Slagheap.
He untaps, plays Primal Command (Life, Search), and plays a land, dropping Phantasmal Image to copy Grave Titan again. He now has 4 creatures on the board. I EoT another counter onto the Heap.
And now for my trickery to kick in: I untap, cast Shrine of Piercing Vision (Proliferate) and Traitor's Clutch (Proliferate) on my Grave Titan, and swing for 7 with shadow. He takes it and I get 2 more Zombies. This was now my plan: Murder him with tokens. But first, I needed some card draw.
I check my mana, and cast Recurring Insight (proliferating everything).I get 5 cards, and exile it for the rebound. I pass. I ended up drawing Wild Ricochet, Reiterate, and a few more lands.
He panics again, because now I have a full grip, so he drops his land for the turn (he's finally hitting them consistently). He counts his open sources, then passes. I EoT another counter onto the Heap. He couldn't do anything this turn.
Upkeep, I get the Shrine trigger to resolve first, then Rebound my Recurring Insight (proliferating again). I end up drawing Demonic Collusion and irrelevant chaff. I flashback the Clutch, swing with my Grave Titan for 7 again, and pass.
He untaps and passes, and I EoT another counter onto the Heap.
My turn, and I draw gold: Rite of Replication. I count my mana and go for broke: Rite with Kicker, Reiterate with Buyback, and Wild Ricochet targeting the Rite. I end up with 16 copies of Grave Titan and 30 more zombies. I pass, knowing full well I can kill him next turn provided he doesn't wrath.
And he doesn't. He ends up casting Praetor's Grasp (exiling my Cryptic Command, having a friend take care of Cockatrice's little problem of searching your opponent's library for anything. I make sure not to cheat and don't scroll up through the chat log so I don't know what he grabbed. He pases with 4 mana open. I EoT another counter onto Heap.
And now it's time to swing for the fences! Only, not. He Cryptics my board down and draws a card. Now I have to either risk him drawing a Wrath or I dig for an answer. I opt to dig, and use the Shrine's effect.
I hit Decree of Pain. I have never been so happy to kill my own board before, but this would be worth it.
I use my Slagheap to cast it, floating 5 mana afterwards. I end up drawing all but 2 cards in my deck thanks to the current board state. I drop Reliquary Tower as my land for the turn and cast Demonic Collusion, pitching Grand Coliseum and Kozilek to it to shuffle a full 19 cards into my library, and tutoring up the Cryptic Command he just put there.
He scoops after his draw step, knowing full well that I can drop Decree of Silence and Hex Parasite to lock him out of the game.
Two games prior to that one had both been resolved by 9 mana spells. The first game ended when I Rite of Replication'ed his Turntimber Ranger and ended up with an army of Wolves and 9/9s. The second game ended after I repeated that same play, only for him to Tooth and Nail up Kabira Evangel and Quicksilver Gargantuan, copying his Akoum Bladesinger and killing me with 8 allies total (he had just emptied his hand the turn before).
So I am playing a game at a shop in the Kansas City area, and I'm playing The Mineoplasm, one guy is playing Wrexial, the Hidden Deep, one is playing Sharuum the Hegemon and the forth is playing Riku. Riku has ramped out and it got him killed. everybody else now has about 15 mana available each turn.
Sharuum player drops Mindslaver and activates it to target the Wrexial player. He responds by using stifle. He cast's Geth and targets the Mindslaver, activates the slaver targeting Sharuum. This goes on until Sharuum and I are almost dead (6 and 3 life). On his next attempt to Mindslaver Sharuum I Timestop. I then use Quicksilver Amulet to cast Pestilence Demon, Cast Soul Conduit, exchange life totals, and use Pestilence Demon to kill both opponents.
The game was back and forth from the get go, even the Sharuum was running every combo known to man, but he kept eating a ton of counters.
Sharuum player drops Mindslaver and activates it to target the Wrexial player. He responds by using stifle. He cast's Geth and targets the Mindslaver, activates the slaver targeting Sharuum.
Oh man, I gotta say that this is my favorite thing to do in my Geth deck. Mindslaver lock someone with their own Mindslaver. Doing this has caused some people to take the card out of their decks. I've once played in a three-player game where both my opponents ran Mindslaver. Needless to say I won by locking both out of all of their turns. Makes me happy to see someone Mindslaver me when I'm playing that deck and not take me out of the game with it. If they don't, they'll lose.
Playing a 4-way game using my Riku deck. One of the opponents is Szadek, Lord of Secrets mill, who by now has left me with about 12 cards left in my library. The other opponents are keeping my aggro off of him (almost got away with a doubled Spitting Image on Stalking Vengeance...) so I'm running low on options. I copy a Knowledge Exploitation, pointing the copy at a BGW deck, and the other at Szadek. In the BGW deck, I find... Praetor's Counsel, with most of my deck in my graveyard. That happens. Then I'm looking through Szadek, not seeing much... until I realize that at this point I can likely Windfall for a tie.
I use a few instant speed draw spells out of my own deck to draw myself down to 3 cards left in deck and let Windfall resolve. I die instantly, of course; we count out 71 cards in my hand. Ghave gets left with 0 cards in library, the fourth deck with 2, and Szadek with 4; Szadek then Skyscribes for 3 to win the game.
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.
My buddy was trying out his "Celtic Shennanigans" deck which is a mono green deck packed with as many infinite combos it could do.
He dropped a turn turn three Dual Nature. He locked out all the generals, and was fully taking advantage of it all, until turn 8 or 9 and I dropped Butcher of Malikar and started recasting Geth, Lord of the Vault and demolished the field
In a 3-player game, me (horde of notions), Kaalia, and Child of Alara.
Kaalia has been laying the smack down since turn 5 and Dragon Mage has been churning everyone's hands. Meanwhile, Child of Alara is just ramping and I have Sneak Attack and Horde in Play. We both take turns eating damage and alternate trying to remove some of the fatties.
Eventually, Kaalia discards Obliterate due to overwhelming board presence and having no enchantments/planeswalkers/indestructibles in play. I put Lord of Extinction to the top via Volrath's Stronghold, float 3 red and activate Sneak Attack. 1st to sneak Chancellor of Spires playing Obliterate. 2nd to sneak Lord of Extinction. 3rd to sneak Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.
Just an example of what happens when Zedruu is allowed to run wild.
It's Zedruu (me) vs. Omnath vs. Atalya (brother) vs. Drana. Here's a game state in desperate need of a sweeper. But nobody can draw one. And I am doing everything in my power to keep that False Prophet, Butcher of Malakir, and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre from wrecking the board. Why? Because my opponents control a zillion of my cards and I want to keep drawing off Zedruu (notice everyone controls one of my Islands but me. I have plenty of lands, just off the the right out of frame). My Solitary Confinement just got nuked by Krosan Grip, but Azorius Guildmage is fending off the worst of the worst of Omnath's army. Atalya's Nova Cleric + Proclamation of Rebirth + Mother of Runes + Reveillark is making it really hard for me to try and push through some of my win cons, which are allenchantments. Poor Drana is suffering with the worst of my donations. See Gilded Drake, Rust Elemental and Pyromancer's Swath pictured here. The results is a ridiculous stalemate. The only one making some progress is Atalya, who has managed to hit Karma and Stern Judge and is making short work of Drana's life total. Hitting Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth would complete the combo.
Here's how the game finally ended. I managed to deal with Nova Cleric, and in one turn, donated Thought Lash to Atalya, killing his library, but also cast Chance Encounter and Frenetic Efreet, getting ten luck counters. I then donated the Chance Encounter to Atalya. Omnath couldn't do squat because Taniwha had his lands phased out. Atalya untapped, stacked Chance Encounter's trigger, tapped Stern Judge to finish off Drana, and then won with the Encounter, with no cards left in deck.
Atalya's final board position:

Atalya's final board position:
if you used the efreet to get the 10 luck counters in one turn, it doesnt work.
This ability can be activated numerous times in response to itself, but the end result is that only one coin will be flipped.
well, I don't know if I'm actually allowed to do what I did. See, I use Teysa as my general in a janky little EDH deck. And, well, I played her 11 times in one turn. I have a Myr deck centered around her, you see :xd: Yay for Darkest Hour? Anyway, I basically kept playing her while saccing and bringing back Myr via Malevolent Awakening (My board when I start this is 2x Myr Galvanizer(via a Mirrorworks), 1x Palladium Myr, 2x Alloy Myr(via Mirrorworks), 2x Myr Propagator(again, Mirrorworks), and 1x Malevolent Awakening
2x Galvanizer + 1x Palladium, if left unstopped, = infinite mana. With Propagator? infinite creatures. With that + some color fixing (I also have a bog initiate in their, just in case), it's infinite Teysa. the ENTIRE deck is based around doing that. I almost never win, ever, but when I do....holy hell.
Problem is, I'm not even completely sure if what I did works :xd: I basically use that to fuel exiling all creatures you get on the field, keep getting spirits and myr tokens, and then just swing ftw next turn. The deck is kinda funny, cause I would be MUCH better off just playing Blue, but I refuse to play Blue EDH a lot :xd:
Please feel free to tell me if my play totally doesn't work. I'm still unsure @___@
Also, Teysa is freaking boss

Currently Getting Back into the swing of MTGS. Bear with me folks~
nevermind....they changed the errata back. it used to be that it only worked if it was in play and after the first flip it wouldnt be. But now it works....sorry bout that

No problem. I had to do my research to make sure it worked before running it.
There are a million two-card win combos in WRU, but I wanted one I could donate away

I've been making very good use of Vexing Sphinx, Library of Leng, Mind Unbound, and Jin-Gitaxias. Resolving the Sphinx after Library is on the table means he's effectively going to draw me a couple extra cards without me losing too much (since they end up being drawn again), whereas dropping him after Mind Unbound is on the table means I play normally and no one cares until it dies (which it's prone to doing).
But resolving Jin with the Library means game over, as I end up with fresh cards every turn.
After topdecking a Regrowth and having been recently smacked by a double striking dryad, Damia plays Damnation to stop Rafiq, without thinking about what I've got on my board. I'm left with my Knight, my Mystic, and my recently searched Eldrazi Conscription, sitting pretty on Mystic. Easily the greatest Damnation I've ever been the "victim" of.

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
Here's a fun game I had in cockatrice. I cast the following spells and played the following land (not mentioning land that only adds colored mana and nothing else).
I don't think any of these spells count as game breaking, and half of them are hardly ever seen.
However I was kicked from the game by the game creator as I was targeting his graveyard with the tormod's crypt. I was so shocked, I'd never had someone remove an ability from the stack before by kicking the ability's owner. I should mention the same guy did have rings and basalt monolith, that's what I used the voidslime on, and my other two opponents cast spells of magnitudes greater than these. I tried to join as a spectator but I was kicked again.
Here's the full log. I've trimmed it down from too big to just regular big.

I'm playing a Norin the Wary list very similar to Gaka's fantastic list, to test it out - note that one of my changes is an added Reliquary Tower. My opponents are a Worldgorger Dragon combo deck and a Higure, the Still Wind Mono U control deck. Higure had just cast Consecrated Sphinx and he and the Dragon deck had fought a long counterspell war over it, which Higure had won. By this point, we all had a ton of lands. Both of my opponents were tapped out. On my turn, I cast Conquering Manticore taking Higure's Sphinx... and then cast Wheel of Fortune, getting rid of my 2 card 2 land hand and both of my opponent's carefully crafted hands and drawing 35 cards (7 for myself, 14 from sphinx on each opponent). I then layed down Reliquary Tower. The best part? I had a Cloudstone Curio in play, Higure had gone down to just 5 lands because of Thwart (which of course were now in his deck), and when Norin came back into play, he got his Sphinx back in his hand. We never saw it again. I ended up winning easily off of a massive Warp World.

I had to Force of Will a Fog earlier this week. Granted it was for lethal general damage from Rafiq, but I still find that hilarious.
EDIT: It gets worse.
Another game, I was playing Sedris (reanimator), and Sharuum points Knowledge Exploitation at me. I activate Mirror-Mad Phantasm to try to get my best spells out of my library. Then this happens:
A long 4-player FFA with board sweepers everywhere. Someone was playing a Wheel of Fortune deck that was just drawing everyone out. The Mimeoplasm had been put on the bottom by a Hallowed Burial or something.
I had Wrexial in play and 7 cards left in my library exactly. I swung at the guy with Wheel of Fate in his graveyard. Cast it for free, drew my remaining 7, one of which was my general.
I cast it and made it a copy of Obstinate Familiar (??!?!?!??!!) with about 20 counters on it (I think Mortivore) from the same guy who was trying to deck us all. I didn't even know that card existed!
Graveyards got exiled shortly after, and I was left alive with no graveyard, no hand, no library. That's a first for me.
Yesterday evening I was playing a pick up 4 way FFA EDH game at my local card shop. I'm playing a fairly new Kresh the Bloodbraided that I built because I lacked a green general, and my opponents were running, Wort, the Raid Mother, Ashling the Pilgrim, and Mayael the Anima.
I'm building up a board with tokens, and Kresh is growing to be something of a threat. As assurance, I throw down Vicious Shadows in order to keep people from wiping the board. Across the table from me, the Mayael player adds a Novablast Wurm to his side of the field and throws down a Spearbreaker Behemoth to save his lonely Blazing Archon.
He looks at the board, pondering his attack step, then looks to me and says, "You look like a pretty big threat."
I stare back at him and say, "You really don't want to do that Ronny. Not even joking."
He swings with all his guys at me, and with the Novablast trigger on the stack, he activates his Spearbreaker to save his Archon. After it resolves a total of 7 creatures hit the yard, he has 5 cards in hand, and only 32 life. I point at Shadows and say, "I told you that wasn't a good idea."

I was playing in a tournament, first pod. It was me with Reya, vs Geth and some fairy, can't remember it's name right now.
Anyway, Geth get's Hindered and Tunnel Visioned, so he's done. It's down to me and him. He gets back Hinder, and casts his general, letting him tuck a card from my hand and then Tunnel Vision me.
Which card does he pick? Felidar Soverign.
And he has no answers for it at all.
The general was vendilion clique by the way.

One play I made the same night(after the tournament, lost to Intet. Freakin dragon), I was playing a friend of mine using Omnath. I'm using Ulasht, and play Overabundance. Against Omnath. But after that turn, my opponent plays his turn, and I take mine. Genesis Wave. Hit....Doubling Season, Spawnwrithe, Life and Limb, and Slate of Ancestry.
It was a good day to be me, to say the least.
Karona's been off to a very bad start on our third game, and ends up with only 3 lands by turn 8. At this point, I've got an Inexorable Tide, a Molten Slagheap, and a pretty good set of mana.
He untaps, draws, and plays a fourth land. He passes because of color issues.
My turn, and I draw Grave Titan. I promptly cast him, proliferating another counter onto the Slagheap. I make my Zombies and pass.
He panics, knowing that leaving it unchecked would be the end of him. SO he makes an emergency play: Phyrexian Metamorph, copying the Titan. He passes after playing his 5th land. I EoT another counter onto Slagheap.
Little does he realize how much he just helped me. I untap, Word of Seizing his Titan, and swing with both to get 4 more Zombies. He blocks both, losing his two and getting only the Grave Titan back. Oh, and I get another counter on my Slagheap.
He untaps, plays Primal Command (Life, Search), and plays a land, dropping Phantasmal Image to copy Grave Titan again. He now has 4 creatures on the board. I EoT another counter onto the Heap.
And now for my trickery to kick in: I untap, cast Shrine of Piercing Vision (Proliferate) and Traitor's Clutch (Proliferate) on my Grave Titan, and swing for 7 with shadow. He takes it and I get 2 more Zombies. This was now my plan: Murder him with tokens. But first, I needed some card draw.
I check my mana, and cast Recurring Insight (proliferating everything).I get 5 cards, and exile it for the rebound. I pass. I ended up drawing Wild Ricochet, Reiterate, and a few more lands.
He panics again, because now I have a full grip, so he drops his land for the turn (he's finally hitting them consistently). He counts his open sources, then passes. I EoT another counter onto the Heap. He couldn't do anything this turn.
Upkeep, I get the Shrine trigger to resolve first, then Rebound my Recurring Insight (proliferating again). I end up drawing Demonic Collusion and irrelevant chaff. I flashback the Clutch, swing with my Grave Titan for 7 again, and pass.
He untaps and passes, and I EoT another counter onto the Heap.
My turn, and I draw gold: Rite of Replication. I count my mana and go for broke: Rite with Kicker, Reiterate with Buyback, and Wild Ricochet targeting the Rite. I end up with 16 copies of Grave Titan and 30 more zombies. I pass, knowing full well I can kill him next turn provided he doesn't wrath.
And he doesn't. He ends up casting Praetor's Grasp (exiling my Cryptic Command, having a friend take care of Cockatrice's little problem of searching your opponent's library for anything. I make sure not to cheat and don't scroll up through the chat log so I don't know what he grabbed. He pases with 4 mana open. I EoT another counter onto Heap.
And now it's time to swing for the fences! Only, not. He Cryptics my board down and draws a card. Now I have to either risk him drawing a Wrath or I dig for an answer. I opt to dig, and use the Shrine's effect.
I hit Decree of Pain. I have never been so happy to kill my own board before, but this would be worth it.
I use my Slagheap to cast it, floating 5 mana afterwards. I end up drawing all but 2 cards in my deck thanks to the current board state. I drop Reliquary Tower as my land for the turn and cast Demonic Collusion, pitching Grand Coliseum and Kozilek to it to shuffle a full 19 cards into my library, and tutoring up the Cryptic Command he just put there.
He scoops after his draw step, knowing full well that I can drop Decree of Silence and Hex Parasite to lock him out of the game.
Two games prior to that one had both been resolved by 9 mana spells. The first game ended when I Rite of Replication'ed his Turntimber Ranger and ended up with an army of Wolves and 9/9s. The second game ended after I repeated that same play, only for him to Tooth and Nail up Kabira Evangel and Quicksilver Gargantuan, copying his Akoum Bladesinger and killing me with 8 allies total (he had just emptied his hand the turn before).

Sharuum player drops Mindslaver and activates it to target the Wrexial player. He responds by using stifle. He cast's Geth and targets the Mindslaver, activates the slaver targeting Sharuum. This goes on until Sharuum and I are almost dead (6 and 3 life). On his next attempt to Mindslaver Sharuum I Timestop. I then use Quicksilver Amulet to cast Pestilence Demon, Cast Soul Conduit, exchange life totals, and use Pestilence Demon to kill both opponents.
The game was back and forth from the get go, even the Sharuum was running every combo known to man, but he kept eating a ton of counters.
Oh man, I gotta say that this is my favorite thing to do in my Geth deck. Mindslaver lock someone with their own Mindslaver. Doing this has caused some people to take the card out of their decks. I've once played in a three-player game where both my opponents ran Mindslaver. Needless to say I won by locking both out of all of their turns. Makes me happy to see someone Mindslaver me when I'm playing that deck and not take me out of the game with it. If they don't, they'll lose.

I use a few instant speed draw spells out of my own deck to draw myself down to 3 cards left in deck and let Windfall resolve. I die instantly, of course; we count out 71 cards in my hand. Ghave gets left with 0 cards in library, the fourth deck with 2, and Szadek with 4; Szadek then Skyscribes for 3 to win the game.
Go mill!
He dropped a turn turn three Dual Nature. He locked out all the generals, and was fully taking advantage of it all, until turn 8 or 9 and I dropped Butcher of Malikar and started recasting Geth, Lord of the Vault and demolished the field
Kaalia has been laying the smack down since turn 5 and Dragon Mage has been churning everyone's hands. Meanwhile, Child of Alara is just ramping and I have Sneak Attack and Horde in Play. We both take turns eating damage and alternate trying to remove some of the fatties.
Eventually, Kaalia discards Obliterate due to overwhelming board presence and having no enchantments/planeswalkers/indestructibles in play. I put Lord of Extinction to the top via Volrath's Stronghold, float 3 red and activate Sneak Attack. 1st to sneak Chancellor of Spires playing Obliterate. 2nd to sneak Lord of Extinction. 3rd to sneak Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.
After i drew 40, I lost to Uril. :/ haha

It's Zedruu (me) vs. Omnath vs. Atalya (brother) vs. Drana. Here's a game state in desperate need of a sweeper. But nobody can draw one. And I am doing everything in my power to keep that False Prophet, Butcher of Malakir, and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre from wrecking the board. Why? Because my opponents control a zillion of my cards and I want to keep drawing off Zedruu (notice everyone controls one of my Islands but me. I have plenty of lands, just off the the right out of frame). My Solitary Confinement just got nuked by Krosan Grip, but Azorius Guildmage is fending off the worst of the worst of Omnath's army. Atalya's Nova Cleric + Proclamation of Rebirth + Mother of Runes + Reveillark is making it really hard for me to try and push through some of my win cons, which are all enchantments. Poor Drana is suffering with the worst of my donations. See Gilded Drake, Rust Elemental and Pyromancer's Swath pictured here. The results is a ridiculous stalemate. The only one making some progress is Atalya, who has managed to hit Karma and Stern Judge and is making short work of Drana's life total. Hitting Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth would complete the combo.
Here's how the game finally ended. I managed to deal with Nova Cleric, and in one turn, donated Thought Lash to Atalya, killing his library, but also cast Chance Encounter and Frenetic Efreet, getting ten luck counters. I then donated the Chance Encounter to Atalya. Omnath couldn't do squat because Taniwha had his lands phased out. Atalya untapped, stacked Chance Encounter's trigger, tapped Stern Judge to finish off Drana, and then won with the Encounter, with no cards left in deck.

2x Galvanizer + 1x Palladium, if left unstopped, = infinite mana. With Propagator? infinite creatures. With that + some color fixing (I also have a bog initiate in their, just in case), it's infinite Teysa. the ENTIRE deck is based around doing that. I almost never win, ever, but when I do....holy hell.
Problem is, I'm not even completely sure if what I did works :xd: I basically use that to fuel exiling all creatures you get on the field, keep getting spirits and myr tokens, and then just swing ftw next turn. The deck is kinda funny, cause I would be MUCH better off just playing Blue, but I refuse to play Blue EDH a lot :xd:
Please feel free to tell me if my play totally doesn't work. I'm still unsure @___@
Also, Teysa is freaking boss
Done by Rivenor of Miraculous Recovery signatures!
nevermind....they changed the errata back. it used to be that it only worked if it was in play and after the first flip it wouldnt be. But now it works....sorry bout that
540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyNo problem. I had to do my research to make sure it worked before running it.
There are a million two-card win combos in WRU, but I wanted one I could donate away

But resolving Jin with the Library means game over, as I end up with fresh cards every turn.
Driving Stick with Isochron Scepter.
Trinkets and Treasure: An Artificer's Toolbox.
Proc Drops: Playing with One Drops.
Deck Primer: Toshiro Umezawa
After topdecking a Regrowth and having been recently smacked by a double striking dryad, Damia plays Damnation to stop Rafiq, without thinking about what I've got on my board. I'm left with my Knight, my Mystic, and my recently searched Eldrazi Conscription, sitting pretty on Mystic. Easily the greatest Damnation I've ever been the "victim" of.
The 3rd player had Primeval Titan and Symbiotic Wurm earlier before the board wipe and did not threaten in the game.
The Kaalia player managed to Mortify Verdant Force to keep it at 3 1/1 tokens.
After the board wipe I recovered thankfully by Skullclamping couple of Hornet Queen tokens to have more lands in my hand to play.
I eventually cast Doubling Season then next turn Spotaneous Generation for 10 1/1 tokens. With Sprouting Thrinax saced from a Syphon Flesh I had 13 tokens.
I drew Phyrexian Altar and casted the altar then saced the tokens to get 76 1/1 flyers with Storm Herd
I casted Conflux grabbing Demonic Tutor, Eternal Witness, Karmic Guide, Fires of Yavimaya, and Last Stand. Everyone scooped after that in turn 12-13.

Mystical Tutor (for Into the Core)
Tormod's Crypt
I don't think any of these spells count as game breaking, and half of them are hardly ever seen.
However I was kicked from the game by the game creator as I was targeting his graveyard with the tormod's crypt. I was so shocked, I'd never had someone remove an ability from the stack before by kicking the ability's owner. I should mention the same guy did have rings and basalt monolith, that's what I used the voidslime on, and my other two opponents cast spells of magnitudes greater than these. I tried to join as a spectator but I was kicked again.
Here's the full log. I've trimmed it down from too big to just regular big.
