At the shop today someone cast Time Warp and Disk, next turn he Disks then plays Maze of Ith and Phage. My turn next, I cast Reins of Power but he thinks he's OK 'cause of Maze, which I play Strip Mine to kill and kill him with his own Phage. So much fun!
My opponent gets of a eureka, in my hand I have Kozilek, Ulamog, and shrieking drake.
I put out kozi and draw 4 (One of which is a clone) It comes to me again I play shrieking drake. and return Kozi. My turn comes i play him again and draw another 4, This time body double. I play clone, Clone Shrieking drake and return Kozi. Again play kozi. Now i have drawn 12 cards since Eureka has been played, and most guys are running out. Next I play Ulamog and blow up Shrieking Drake. Then I play body double, copy drake in my graveyards and return Kozi. I play Kozi again and draw 4 more cards. Since the beginning off this I have drawn 16 cards.
now My board is 2 shrieking drakes. (Clone and body double) Ulamog and Koozilek. Not too threatening but most guys have run out of a hand position and i still have 14 cards I hand drawn during this spell. Darksteel Collosus, Blighsteel colossus, Wurmcoil Engine, terastodon, Akroma's monument, Sundering titan, and a bunch of other chaos. I kinda wish i had Animar on the field as well as that was one hell of a powerful creature drop. But the opponents just looked at me drawing and playing this massive hand. (Come on i played Kozi 4 times)

Here's hoping that you're aware that you only draw from Kozilek if and only if you cast Kozilek (rather than putting it directly into play -- as what Eureka does).

As a matter of interest, if you put Shrieking Drake out with Eureka, the trigger won't actually resolve until after Eureka has resolved.

oh ****. well the entire table was misplaying then. Still it was cool when it happened.
I played Omnath and I was forced to win ASAP. I drew a threat (Ant Queen) with a lot of mana-generation online and made the maximum safe number of tokens in order to pummel my remaining opponents after eliminating the primary threat.
Also there were some safe guards installed here and there.

I can't generate a good story with Omnath because either my opponents will scoop once I start doing critical mass stuff or I feel it's underwhelming due to Omnath not playing with his food before he ate it.

Been playing Sedris a lot, having recently built the deck. Was in a kill-everyone-or-die situation with three cards in hand and 11 mana. Two of the cards were actually relevant.

Minor nitpick but Flayer of the Hatebound doesn't work with Living Death because Living Death puts them into play from exile, not the graveyard. Also @Reyn: Mind's Desire is banned unfortunately.

Late game in a 4 way FFA. I'm playing tomorrow, azami's familiar (based on Gaspanic's Azami list) against Riku "Copy EtB", Geth "big mana Pestilence", and Kemba, Kha Regent "Voltron".
It's late game after a turn 4 shared fate that was just destroyed. Kemba just tapped out for a gilded lotus and something else (mana screwed). My field is 6 islands, reliquary tower, caged sun and sapphire medallion for blue, sol ring, mind stone, horn of greed, and tomorrow. About 40 cards of mine have been "drawn" by my opponents. Riku has a helm of awakening in play "drawn" from me. My draw for turn shows laboratory manic. My land drop (island) shows me windfall. I have eye of the storm and assorted draw spells in hand.
I play Eye of the storm. I start with pulse of the grid. Draw 2. Follow that with trade secrets draw another 4. Play the lab manic. I cast tidings, with Riku responds to with cryptic command, countering tidings and bouncing lab manic. I respond with a brainstorm to cast a copy of the command to counter the original. Geth, then casts pact of negation to counter...brainstorm? I really don't know why. Geth draws his cards, then I draw 1 off of cryptic command, 4 off tidings, 4 off trade secrets, 2 off pulse of the grid, 4 off tidings, 4 off trade secrets, and 2 off pulse of the grid. My hand started at 8 cards, and has now swollen by 32 cards, each draw filtered by my general. I cast windfall, casting everything else first to up my hand to 50. Windfall resolves and I win the game. Woo.
Some guy playin Rafiq who was kicking our asses with a Voltronned Serra Ascendant just tapped out 30 mana (with Mana Reflections) to cast a huge genesis wave. My response is a Leyline of Anticipation'd Eye of the Storm. Everyone flips out a bunchload of cards. Guy running Olivia shoots out the biggest Comet Storm I ever saw (he flipped a Caged Sun and a Gauntlet of Power off of the Wave). However he did not know that Eye of the Storm copies it so the caster has their spell resolved last so everyone else took turns killing everyone else and when the last guy targetted it me I swerved it back to him for the game.

Do you mean Hive Mind instead of Eye of the Storm?
(Also, even if you do, that doesn't work, the spell's already on the stack by the time you can flash in the Eye of the Storm; the Genesis Wave wouldn't copy)

The Hive Mind (right? not Eye of the Storm which does something different) does not copy Genesis Wave as it's on the stack already when Hive Mind resolves.
The last guy gets a copy of your Swerve, which he could have used to change the target of your Swerve onto his copy of Swerve. You should still have died.
I have Jaya on the field equipped with boots, a vicious shadows and 10 mana. Teysa has a ton of clerics on the field. Jaya uses her inferno ability right after sharuum draws and net 9 Vicious shadow triggers. Sharuum takes a healthy 35 to the dome and dies while teysa goes to 5. Nothing too special there.
The really fun play was dropping Jaya, equiping her with boots (again) and having her incinerateherself for the victory.
Killed someone today with a Thawing Glaciers. Finally got to re-enact the Titanic.
For clarification, because I know someone is going to ask. Opp used a board wipe, my turn I cast Living Plane and dropped a Contagion Engine, and opp at 1 life. Full Speed Ahead!
Made 69 69/69 wurm tokens with gelatinous genesis and contcordant crossroads in play. Killing the other 3 players that were left from what started as a 5way. That happened due to me getting to green suns zenith for sasaya and flip her in one turn while everyone tapped out prior to me. Each of my forests tapping for 15 green mana got me to 139 in my mana pool to play the win

Flashback Past in Flames letting me
Flashback Songs of the Damned, flashback Yawgmoth's Will, cast Warstorm Surge from Graveyard, flashback Living Death that includes a Flayer of the Hatebound
