played against an opponent who just cast omniscience did a few eventful things then runs out of gas. He passes the turn i proceed to untap cast umbral mantle use karn turn doubling cube into a creature equip the mantle produce infinite mana. Play a mycosynth lattice turn all his lands into 0/0 artifact creatures, animate my helvault equip it with the mantle then proceed to exile each artifact creature permanent he has thanks to the lattice including a 10/10 artifact enchantment omniscience. Use golem artisan make karn a million/million flying trample creature and swing while they have no permanents on the field.
I was playing an Elemental based Horde of Notions deck. We were 6 players but the game kept a reasonable pace (people is learning how tutor and shuffle without wasting time). It was the best performance a casual EDH deck of mine have ever had: I hit the Mulldrifter and Slithermuse on time, had enough EtB effects to combine with Conjurer's Closet and despite the best effort of the player after me with his 5 color sweeper.dec I always had gas to reload and keep a crowded board (Lurking Predators survived for about a round and a half). In the mid-late game, I hit a Primal Surge for about 15 elementals but whiffed on a haste enabler, so opponents got to sweep. The next turn Maelstrom Wanderer happened and flipped Vicious Shadows. The wanderer died before my next turn but then I cast Patriarch's Bidding for about 25 elementals including Mirror Entity with 8 available mana. Opponents scooped in masse.
1. One of my opponents cast Master Warcraft. I'm like, "But you don't have any guys to swing wi... ohh Stuffy Doll." I died.
2. One of my opponents goes, turn 1 - Land, Sol Ring, Mana Crypt. Turn 2 - Land, Doubling Season. Turn 3 - Sarkhan Vol, ultimate for 10 4/4 dragons. I look around the table, "Anyone have a board wipe?.. Nope, good game sir!"
Okay, CRAZY game the other day, managed to absolutely pull a win out of my A$$. Six-person table, I'm running my mono-blue Oona deck. There's another mono-blue deck at the table, heavy control (Arcanis). Lots of counters, lots of disruption. There are four other decks as well - and this is my cutthroat playgroup, so stuff is hard.
The game went LONG, like way longer than normal. Lots of control players, few aggressive ones, and a six-person group led to it. Through a combination of someone having Howling Mine early, me having Consecrated Sphinx, me having Jin-Gitaxias (briefly) and just a general long game, the turn finally comes where I draw my last two cards. It's now my turn, with an empty library. My exile zone has about 65 cards in it - I had a MASSIVE hand after a go-around with Consecrated Sphinx and Jin-Gitaxias, played some awesome stuff but foolishly tapped out, and at EOT another player destroyed my Reliquary Tower, then exiled my now massive graveyard with a Bojuka Bog. So I've got almost no graveyard to work with.
So here I am - I've got out about 10 islands and a Caged sun, and some other non-relevant jank. I play a Gauntlet of Power, so now my Islands tap for 3. I play Tidespout Tyrant. I play Mnemonic Wall, get back a counter. Then I play Ghostly Flicker, hitting the wall and an Island. I get back the Flicker, and I can do this as many times as I want. Someone tries to counter, and I spend the rest of my mana on about 3 counters to fight through and protect the combo. I win the counterwar, but the problem is both that I'm tapped out (though of course I have my one Island to continue the combo) but no way to actually win. I can bounce every permanent forever, but I'll still die on my next draw step. What can I do? I think I've lost, but I have a strict policy of never conceding, so I pass the turn, hoping to think of something.
Naturally, the other players' turns pass quickly. They just drop a land and maybe a sol ring, pass, EOT I bounce that stuff. Some players don't even bother. Now it's my turn. Untap, so okay - at least I have a lot of mana. I look once more at my hand - BOOM! SPIN INTO MYTH!! I spin my own Mnemonic Wall, draw it on my draw step, cast it, get back Spin, and I've got the game! I can do that as much as I want, so the other combo keeps everyone locked out and I'm able to swing everyone to death with Tyrant. Oh yeah!!
I love that deck. I pulled another crazy win out of nowhere with it once - I had no creatures, an empty hand, and was staring at death from 3 other players. I topdecked a Chancellor of the Spires, played it into someone's demonic tutor, got Deadeye Navigator, blinked the chancellor, cast the tutor again, searched up Peregrine Drake, cast it, bonded it to the Navigator, infinite mana, Oona, exile everyone's library. Boom!
Some forgotten number of turns into a 1v1 game I thought I had my opponent down. Both of us were playing decks with blue in them (can't remember either general exactly), but I looked like I was going to win with about 6 creatures out including a Chancellor of the Spires to my opponent's one creature.
Cue my opponent ripping a clone varient and copying my Chancellor and THEN choosing to cast the Rite of Replication in my yard to make a loop of Chancellors. I promptly conceded after this and laughed my ass off.
Things were going pretty bad after an early Morphic Tide that left everyone but me pretty devastated. Eventually by ~turn 12 everyone has recovered. As soon as I reach 10 mana, I drop Primal Surge and start exiling.
Everyone at the table stares as I go through my deck without a single other non-permanent with the last card being Laboratory Maniac (conviently placed their by Mosswort Bridge), draw a card off Wistful Selkie and win on the spot.
As expected and rightfully earned, they booted me out of that round and kept playing while I willingly removed the surge from my deck. A bit of a jerk move but I had to get it off once.
Not all that much of a great story, but it was a 4-way game of Tariel, Norin(enchantment based chaos), Kira, and Kaervek(me). I'd been working on getting Kira under control that game for a while and Norin was doing as that deck does, annoying the everloving bejeesus out of everyone. Tariel was being quiet, but he brings out a Debtors' Knell after letting his general go to the graveyard the previous turn. For some reason, he forgot to notice my suspended Curse of the Cabal with one time counter left. I ended up targeting him, then Reiterated it with buyback. He ended up going down to 4 permanents, and for some reason decided NOT to keep the knell. The game was actually decided by Norin's Pyrohemia, however. Being the highest life total that game despite dual manabarbs, I ended up winning.
Late in a multiplayer game my Mimeoplasm deck (which had been picked apart pretty hard through out the game) was facing off against four other decks. I had an Altar of Dementia in play plus a few random creatures. One of my opponents had amassed a huge token army with his Kresh deck and I felt I was the target. I drew into a Living Death and promptly played it. In response he sacrificed all his creatures to his Altar and decked me.
Living Death resolves bringing every creature in my library into play (including a Lord of Extinction and Geth). After ETB's I sacrifice my Lord to deck him, end up milling his Lord, Geth it back, sacrifice it to the Altar to deck another player, Geth it up once more and take out a third deck before I run out of mana. The only player with a library left won by default.
Not really a crazy play, but something that definitely made me laugh.
Player 1 sends out a turn 4 Serra Avatar. The following turn he proceeds to attack the guy with the highest life total. That guy plays Cinder Cloud and eliminates player 1.
Like I said, the play isn't crazy or anything but it was funny to see an almost direct counter to Serra Avatar haha.
The other day, I was playing 1v1. I was using a Radha deck I had thrown together, and my opponent was playing Sapling of Colfenor.
We both mana ramped pretty well in the early game, and exchanged a few beats, we were both around high 20's in life. He dropped a Vedalken Orrery swung with Sapling and passed turn. I got some beats in with Radha and passed turn, I was running out of gas, and only had Reverberate in hand. He drew and passed turn with like 10 mana up. I top decked Wort, the Raidmother and played her. Suspecting a blowout if I attacked, I passed turn with a couple mana up to Reverberate with. My opponent drops TnN entwined during my end step, and I (of course) Reverberate it, and conspire with Wort.
Knocked someone out turn 6 using entirely "fair" cards off of a single forest earlier, playing my Sisters of Stone Death deck. Playing 1v1 against an Edric deck. Kept a super sketchy 1 land hand, but the potential to explode if it hit so much as a second land was too tempting to pass up.
T1: Forest
T2: Topdeck and play Llanowar Elves
T3: Play Priest of Titania (opponent has two elves)
T4: Play Thousand-Year Elixir, Wirewood Symbiote, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, bounce and replay the Llanowar to untap Priest, play Wirewood Channeler, play Oracle of Mul Daya
T5: (opponent has played Edric - 3 elves) Use Priest and Channeler in conjunction with Symbiote to play a topdecked Chameleon Colossus and my general
T6: Lure all of the opposing creatures with the Sisters, then pump the Colossus 5 times and swing for 128 damage, all without playing a second land. I had the potential to make something like 50-60 mana off of my single forest because of the mana elf nut draw.
One of the strangest and most entertaining games I've ever had with that deck.

Ok you made me want to make a deck. Serra Avatar confusion in the ranks and Cinder Cloud.
turn 3 Aven Mindcensor in response to someone playing Buried Alive. Then one of my opponents trying to fetchland and play tutor cards while it is still on the field.. He facepalmed himself like 6 times that game
First day of tabletop games club on campus. We ALREADY had one of those games. You know, one of those games.
I broke out my revamped Riku of Two Reflections "Attack of the Clones" deck yet to be posted here, but it's going up shortly after I post this story. Never played it in a face-to-face game. Chris (our club president) was running some Ruhan of the FomoriSunforger shenanigans thing, and Tim was playing his silly Zedruu the Greathearted "control" deck with lots of weird card choices like Arcane Melee. All three of us lost our sanity at some point during the game. Where do I even begin?
I drop a first-turn Burgeoning and everyone gives me a funny look. I run out of lands on my second turn, but topdeck land number five to cast a Mindclaw Shaman, casting Wheel of Fortune out of his hand for another round of land drops. I draw a handful of spell-copying effects, then a Consecrated Sphinx to start filling my hand back up. Chris drops an Archon of Justice and I throw Followed Footsteps on it in an effort to exile it before I lose my sphinx. The board gets clogged with flying guys on all three ends, then Tim from out of nowhere drops Zur's Weirding.
So now everyone's frantically paying life to stop me from drawing cloning effects. The Jace Beleren Chris has is slowly ticking up and there isn't a lot I can do about it; in fact, I forgot about it after a while. So after a few turns, Chris gets a smug look on his face. He passes turn with me having six or so Archons on the board. I go "Activate Desolate Lighthouse." He goes "In response, Mirrorweave your Consecrated Sphinx."
So now there are around twenty Consecrated Sphinxes on the board. The Lighthouse trigger resolves, and everyone can draw as many cards as they want. We all draw way too many cards. Then I Vesuva some random Reliquary Tower. Not feeling like starting up some giant counter war, I pass my turn. Tim starts up a counter war with Chris and loses. Chris mills me with Jace, which gets the rest of my deck. I top in response, hoping for something. Nope.
So I untap with no cards in my library. Upkeep I look through my hand, graveyards, and what's on board--see if there's any way I can weasel my way out of this mess. Then I notice in Chris' graveyard, there's a Time Spiral that got discarded on the original Wheel of Fortune! I activate Alchemist's Refuge to Spelltwine the Time Spiral and some random enchantment hate, FINALLY nailing the Zur's Weirding. So I untapped with no library and somehow survived the entire turn.
Eventually Tim wraths and a bunch of lands get exiled, including many of my utility lands. I drop an Echo Mage and fully level him up, leaving four mana open and a land in hand to drop off Burgeoning for Radiate. Chris casts Time Stretch, with no one dropping a land after I passed. He casts Avacyn, suits her up with a Sunforger, and gets me for an exactsies kill. I didn't even stick around to watch the rest of the game--it didn't look like it was going to end anytime soon.
Tonight in a 3 player game, I was at 5 life, running a Riku of Two Reflections deck. I'm getting crushed by Teneb the harvester and Akroma, Angel of Wrath. I have 20 permanents out (mostly land thanks to prime time), each opp is in the teens, so, I cast Warp World. The Teneb player gets him back, along with a few smaller dorks, one of whom has deathtouch, and gets a lure placed on him. The other guy hits Avacyn, mother of runes, and some other stuff that wasn't important. Warp world gives me Keiga, the Tide Star, a Clone, Mulldrifter, and a bunch of lands (including maze of ith). I use the clone on Keiga, and steal Teneb and Avacyn.
The 2 opponents keep drawing gas, while I do my best to keep them at bay. I keep sending back the deathtouch guy so that i dont have to block with everything, use the now indestructible mulldrifter to chump some other flyer he has. Akroma player keeps pecking away at me, unti he gets me to 2. I manage to drop another dude on the board, to even out the field. I draw my card for the turn. Radiate. Ths could be great, or terrible. Teneb player passes his turn, having drawn nothing to get past our little stalemate. Akroma layer draws, pauses and smiles as he plays Banishing Stroke for its miracle cost, targetting his own Avacyn so that he can break through my small team. I slam radiate on the table, laughing like the luck sacking jerk that I am. Everything goes to the bottom of our libraries, except for lands, of which i have plenty thanks to my warp world. First card I draw is Maelstrom Wanderer, who cascades into Wort, The Raidmother and then Ancestral Vision, which draws me into Time Stretch. I play Riku, Copy my time stretch, and then topdeck Rite of Replication, which I kick and copy on some 2/3 lifelinking angel which I then use to beat face and get myself back up to a healthy lifetotal. Call to Mind (copied) targets itself and Time Stretch, and they call it a game. Best Save I've ever had.
A short one that nevertheless greatly amused me. Someone else was playing my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck versus Savra and Wrexial. Gisela was out, and it as Wrexial's turn. Wrex decided to tap a bunch for a Giant Exsanguinate.
Gisela had Comet Storm in hand but only 7 mana open, not enough to finish off Wrexial. Instead though they cast the Comet Storm with X=4 and two targets, the Wrexial player and Gisela. Then they use Shining Shoal's alternate casting cost removing a Brightflame to redirect the four damage from Gisela to the Wrexial player.
4 damage from Comet storm + 4 Damage from the Shoal, doubled by Gisela for 16 damage, killing the Wrexial player.
Here's what happened: it started as a 4 player game. One of the people was playing Bruna and went for an early kill on Gatherer, but he flashes in a Copy Enchantment on Bruna's Corrupted Conscience to steal her and kill the player next turn. The other player quit after that.
On my turn, I Twist Allegiance, swing for the win, counter his Tooth and Nail... and he kicks me out. Best part: I counted afterward, and if he'd blocked Malignus and Tyrant of Discord, he would have lived with 5 life left.
(Oh, and then he rages at me for "going infinite" and being a "n****r f****t.")
PS: I didn't use Insurrection because I wanted enough mana to counter his Tooth and Nail, and because Twist Allegiance is a pretty dang janky spell to get killed by.
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 used Jace, the Mind Sculptor's ult on myself to avoid decking myself and won the game... it was pretty ridiculous and none of us thought it would work, but it did!

I would post about our Jarad vs. Sedris vs. etc games, but they're on such a level of stupid that it's pretty much impossible to remember.
Theres a game where I was playing maelstrom wanderer into chaos effects while my friend was playing 5 color control Karona. He has a resolved omnicience and a leyline of anticipation out. I have Vedalken orrey, psychic battle, and dream halls with a sensei's divinining top on the side, I have a considerable amount of open mana around 15 to 20.
I attempt to cast my omnicience. First counter goes off, Psychic battle triggers, response to trigger i attempt to capsize his omnicience. I win the psychic battle trigger on the counterspell to my omnicience, redirecting the counterspell to my capsize, He in response wheel of fortunes. We draw and he attempts to counter my omnicience again. Response to trigger of psychic battle I sensei top to find a Jin Gitaxis and win the clash. Redirecting his 2nd counterspell to his first counterspell countering my capsize. He then is attempting to reforge the soul because he cant find his top to attempt to win these clashes. Reforge resolves and I draw a city of solitude and an eternal witness. Attempt to cast city through dream halls by discarding witness. He attempts to spelljack. I win the clash targeting one of the random counterspells on the stack that he controls. He past in flames to wheel of fortune again. He then attempts to commandeer my omnicience in which he actually wins the clash. I use the last of my mana to flash in confusion in the ranks and we let the stack resolve to the point where his new omnicience comes into play and he has to trade, I win the clash and force him to trade confusion in the ranks with omnicience.
I now have omnicience while he has omnicience but city of solitude is in play with confusion in the ranks and psychic battle. I attempt to chancellor of the spires to take his time warp that he wheeled out, and wins the clash, and picks his decree of pain.
I deck out. :|

Bravo, sir. You are an inspiration to chaos players everywhere.

Player B: No hand. Draws and plays a land and says go.
Player C: Died a few turns ago.
Me: Untaps with Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter and precursor golem with his buddies. Draw.... Hatred. Hatred for 33.

1. One of my opponents cast Master Warcraft. I'm like, "But you don't have any guys to swing wi... ohh Stuffy Doll." I died.
2. One of my opponents goes, turn 1 - Land, Sol Ring, Mana Crypt. Turn 2 - Land, Doubling Season. Turn 3 - Sarkhan Vol, ultimate for 10 4/4 dragons. I look around the table, "Anyone have a board wipe?.. Nope, good game sir!"
3. I was playing Kaalia, Bladewing the Risen and Steel Hellkite in play. (Opponent playing Riku had cloned the third player's Divinity of Pride, made a copy of it and killed the third player during previous turns.) I pass turn with all my mana up. Opponent casts Chancellor of the Spires casts Vindicate out of my yard. I Radiate the Vindicate, and Ghostway my board, turn end Bladewing brings back Scourge of Kher Ridges, opponent scoops.
At his EOT, I hit my Academy Rector with Punishing Fire to tutor up Oblivion Ring, targeting my Silverblade Paladin. On my turn, I cast Worldfire and said go. He drew and scooped
WGU - Jenara, Asura of War - Bant Counters
WUB - Sen Triplets - Blink Control
RWU - Ruhan of the Fomori - Combat Control
WB - Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts - Orzhov Knights

I can do that as much as I want, so the other combo keeps everyone locked out and I'm able to swing everyone to death with Tyrant. Oh yeah!!
I love that deck. I pulled another crazy win out of nowhere with it once - I had no creatures, an empty hand, and was staring at death from 3 other players. I topdecked a Chancellor of the Spires, played it into someone's demonic tutor, got Deadeye Navigator, blinked the chancellor, cast the tutor again, searched up Peregrine Drake, cast it, bonded it to the Navigator, infinite mana, Oona, exile everyone's library. Boom!
Really, really fun deck to play.
Some forgotten number of turns into a 1v1 game I thought I had my opponent down. Both of us were playing decks with blue in them (can't remember either general exactly), but I looked like I was going to win with about 6 creatures out including a Chancellor of the Spires to my opponent's one creature.
Cue my opponent ripping a clone varient and copying my Chancellor and THEN choosing to cast the Rite of Replication in my yard to make a loop of Chancellors. I promptly conceded after this and laughed my ass off.
Things were going pretty bad after an early Morphic Tide that left everyone but me pretty devastated. Eventually by ~turn 12 everyone has recovered. As soon as I reach 10 mana, I drop Primal Surge and start exiling.

The only player with a library left won by default.
Most enjoyable ending to a game I've ever had.
Player 1 sends out a turn 4 Serra Avatar. The following turn he proceeds to attack the guy with the highest life total. That guy plays Cinder Cloud and eliminates player 1.
Like I said, the play isn't crazy or anything but it was funny to see an almost direct counter to Serra Avatar haha.
We both mana ramped pretty well in the early game, and exchanged a few beats, we were both around high 20's in life. He dropped a Vedalken Orrery swung with Sapling and passed turn.

My opponent drops TnN entwined during my end step, and I (of course) Reverberate it, and conspire with Wort.
I drop Avenger of Zendikar and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, copy Avenger and get 18 plants. With my second TnN I drop Urabrask the Hidden and Furystoke Giant. 42 damage to the dome for the win. I felt pretty good about that.
T1: Forest
T2: Topdeck and play Llanowar Elves
T3: Play Priest of Titania (opponent has two elves)
T4: Play Thousand-Year Elixir, Wirewood Symbiote, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, bounce and replay the Llanowar to untap Priest, play Wirewood Channeler, play Oracle of Mul Daya
T5: (opponent has played Edric - 3 elves) Use Priest and Channeler in conjunction with Symbiote to play a topdecked Chameleon Colossus and my general
T6: Lure all of the opposing creatures with the Sisters, then pump the Colossus 5 times and swing for 128 damage, all without playing a second land. I had the potential to make something like 50-60 mana off of my single forest because of the mana elf nut draw.
One of the strangest and most entertaining games I've ever had with that deck.
Playing an ******* Azami wizard-tribal player with my white weenie deck, he's had it hard to control my unending stream of creatures and at 5 life, facing an untapped Eight-and-a-Half-Tails bound to a tapped Silverblade Paladin when I'm at 8 life, goes Personal Tutor-JaceBelerendraw-Fabricate-Twincast-Sword of War and Peace & Sword of Light and Shadow, equipping both to Azami, his only creature in play, and commenting how my ****ing subpar critters won't save me now.
Once he declares attackers, I pay 2, make both swords white and declare blockers.
Azami dies into 8&1/2, I attack for the win next turn.
Ok you made me want to make a deck. Serra Avatar confusion in the ranks and Cinder Cloud.
I broke out my revamped Riku of Two Reflections "Attack of the Clones" deck yet to be posted here, but it's going up shortly after I post this story. Never played it in a face-to-face game.

Chris drops an Archon of Justice and I throw Followed Footsteps on it in an effort to exile it before I lose my sphinx. The board gets clogged with flying guys on all three ends, then Tim from out of nowhere drops Zur's Weirding.
Zur's Weirding.
So now everyone's frantically paying life to stop me from drawing cloning effects. The Jace Beleren Chris has is slowly ticking up and there isn't a lot I can do about it; in fact, I forgot about it after a while. So after a few turns, Chris gets a smug look on his face. He passes turn with me having six or so Archons on the board. I go "Activate Desolate Lighthouse." He goes "In response, Mirrorweave your Consecrated Sphinx."
"Mirrorweave your Consecrated Sphinx."
So now there are around twenty Consecrated Sphinxes on the board. The Lighthouse trigger resolves, and everyone can draw as many cards as they want. We all draw way too many cards. Then I Vesuva some random Reliquary Tower. Not feeling like starting up some giant counter war, I pass my turn. Tim starts up a counter war with Chris and loses. Chris mills me with Jace, which gets the rest of my deck. I top in response, hoping for something. Nope.
So I untap with no cards in my library. Upkeep I look through my hand, graveyards, and what's on board--see if there's any way I can weasel my way out of this mess. Then I notice in Chris' graveyard, there's a Time Spiral that got discarded on the original Wheel of Fortune! I activate Alchemist's Refuge to Spelltwine the Time Spiral and some random enchantment hate, FINALLY nailing the Zur's Weirding. So I untapped with no library and somehow survived the entire turn.
Eventually Tim wraths and a bunch of lands get exiled, including many of my utility lands. I drop an Echo Mage and fully level him up, leaving four mana open and a land in hand to drop off Burgeoning for Radiate. Chris casts Time Stretch, with no one dropping a land after I passed. He casts Avacyn, suits her up with a Sunforger, and gets me for an exactsies kill. I didn't even stick around to watch the rest of the game--it didn't look like it was going to end anytime soon.

The 2 opponents keep drawing gas, while I do my best to keep them at bay. I keep sending back the deathtouch guy so that i dont have to block with everything, use the now indestructible mulldrifter to chump some other flyer he has. Akroma player keeps pecking away at me, unti he gets me to 2. I manage to drop another dude on the board, to even out the field. I draw my card for the turn. Radiate. Ths could be great, or terrible. Teneb player passes his turn, having drawn nothing to get past our little stalemate. Akroma layer draws, pauses and smiles as he plays Banishing Stroke for its miracle cost, targetting his own Avacyn so that he can break through my small team. I slam radiate on the table, laughing like the luck sacking jerk that I am. Everything goes to the bottom of our libraries, except for lands, of which i have plenty thanks to my warp world. First card I draw is Maelstrom Wanderer, who cascades into Wort, The Raidmother and then Ancestral Vision, which draws me into Time Stretch. I play Riku, Copy my time stretch, and then topdeck Rite of Replication, which I kick and copy on some 2/3 lifelinking angel which I then use to beat face and get myself back up to a healthy lifetotal. Call to Mind (copied) targets itself and Time Stretch, and they call it a game. Best Save I've ever had.
Gotta love Radiate!
Gisela had Comet Storm in hand but only 7 mana open, not enough to finish off Wrexial. Instead though they cast the Comet Storm with X=4 and two targets, the Wrexial player and Gisela. Then they use Shining Shoal's alternate casting cost removing a Brightflame to redirect the four damage from Gisela to the Wrexial player.
4 damage from Comet storm + 4 Damage from the Shoal, doubled by Gisela for 16 damage, killing the Wrexial player.

Here's what happened: it started as a 4 player game. One of the people was playing Bruna and went for an early kill on Gatherer, but he flashes in a Copy Enchantment on Bruna's Corrupted Conscience to steal her and kill the player next turn. The other player quit after that.
So now it's just him and me. I've got 4 lands, a Maze of Ith, and Spore Frog on a Mimic Vat. He keeps building lands and creatures while I continuously fog with the frog and a Spike Weaver - at one point I Wild Ricochet his Hull Breach targeting my mimic vat.
Anyway, I'm just waiting for him to build up a big enough army to kill himself in one hit. He tries a lethal Akroma's Memorial - Malignus - Overwhelming Stampede to one shot me, but I use Reins of Power to temporarily switch creatures.
On my turn, I Twist Allegiance, swing for the win, counter his Tooth and Nail... and he kicks me out. Best part: I counted afterward, and if he'd blocked Malignus and Tyrant of Discord, he would have lived with 5 life left.
(Oh, and then he rages at me for "going infinite" and being a "n****r f****t.")
PS: I didn't use Insurrection because I wanted enough mana to counter his Tooth and Nail, and because Twist Allegiance is a pretty dang janky spell to get killed by.
I would post about our Jarad vs. Sedris vs. etc games, but they're on such a level of stupid that it's pretty much impossible to remember.

I attempt to cast my omnicience. First counter goes off, Psychic battle triggers, response to trigger i attempt to capsize his omnicience. I win the psychic battle trigger on the counterspell to my omnicience, redirecting the counterspell to my capsize, He in response wheel of fortunes. We draw and he attempts to counter my omnicience again. Response to trigger of psychic battle I sensei top to find a Jin Gitaxis and win the clash. Redirecting his 2nd counterspell to his first counterspell countering my capsize. He then is attempting to reforge the soul because he cant find his top to attempt to win these clashes. Reforge resolves and I draw a city of solitude and an eternal witness. Attempt to cast city through dream halls by discarding witness. He attempts to spelljack. I win the clash targeting one of the random counterspells on the stack that he controls. He past in flames to wheel of fortune again. He then attempts to commandeer my omnicience in which he actually wins the clash. I use the last of my mana to flash in confusion in the ranks and we let the stack resolve to the point where his new omnicience comes into play and he has to trade, I win the clash and force him to trade confusion in the ranks with omnicience.
I now have omnicience while he has omnicience but city of solitude is in play with confusion in the ranks and psychic battle. I attempt to chancellor of the spires to take his time warp that he wheeled out, and wins the clash, and picks his decree of pain.
I deck out. :|
