Say what y'all will about infinite combos, but I just had the pleasure — yes, PLEASURE — of losing to the following from a Zedruu the Greathearted deck:
I brainstormed Rite of Replication on top of my deck and then I kicked Rite targeting my opponent's Bogardan Hellkite. The Rite was copied by Melek's ability, which also triggered my Spellweaver Volute attached to Reverberate. ALL THE ETB DAMAGE FROM 15 BOGARDAN HELLKITES! I was proud.
Way back in the day, I also had a funny Storm Herd moment. I remember doing basically nothing for eight turns (that number is important) and passing when the guy to my left played Storm Herd. It got back around to me and we were all (like, six of us) wondering what to do about the 60-something tokens on the board. For those eight turns, I was really just waiting to play Insurrection. I answer your big stupid sorcery with MY big stupid sorcery. Ha! I got all of his tokens and someone else's Kresh (and a bunch of other stuff). Swing out at the Storm Herd player for exactly lethal, use a sac outlet and give Kresh back to his player with about a billion counters on it, and kept some blockers. Then I watched Kresh clean up the rest of the table for me.
The lesson learned from this thread? Don't play Storm Herd without a plan other than "lolz big life total".
Last week I was playing my Vorel of the Hull Clade deck, which make use of several Graft creatures, including Plaxcaster Frogling
One of my opponents was Ghave, Guru of Spores. He tried to equip Ghave with Illusionist's Bracers. I looked at my Plaxcaster and my 2 open mana and said "NOPE".

And I should probably contribute something other than self congratulation, so I'd like to share the stories of the first time I attempted that combo and the first time I succeeded.
I made that combo and didn't get a chance to do it for a long time. I just kept telling people the Memnite was important. One day, the pieces finally came together, I had Warstorm Surge and Zedruu the Greathearted in play, I had Memnite in hand, I drew Dissipation Field for the turn, and my opponents were all but tapped out. So I excitedly tap my mana and play Dissipation Field, and I donate it over to the most threatening opponent, and he's just like "oh, ok." Then I cast Memnite, and he was like "Uh, ok?" Then I pointed from Warstorm Surge to Memnite, and from Memnite to him, and from Dissipation Field to Memnite, and he goes "Ohhhhh..... response." He taps the exactly one untapped swamp he controlled and cast tragic slip. It was just -1/-1. Which kills Memnite. It was tragic.
So a week or so later I was playing against the same guy, but he was using Riku of Two Reflections. I played Shared Fate, so we were playing each other's decks minus a color. I had the Dissipation Field in play as a defense earlier. He assembles Memnite and Pandemonium in his "hand" and goes "I'm gonna do that combo you failed at!" And I'm like "Nooooooooo" and he cast the spells and is like "1 damage to you and then Memnite returns to..... oh...... your hand." And then it did! And on my next turn, I donated the Field over and killed him.

Zedruu: "This deck is not only able to go crazy - it also needs to do so."
So I'm playing my Xira Arien deck, and we're approaching the late game. Prime Speaker Zegana is opposed to me, a morph-based build, and he has a nicely stocked graveyard. He doesn't do too much with it, but hey, there's always Eternal Witness and Den Protector, and the other guy left was Hazezon Tamar who does nothing with his graveyard.. I move to Bojuka Bog him. He decides to flip Willbender and bog me instead. At which point I twitch and reveal the card I had just topdecked...Praetor's Counsel.
I think the store owner went deaf from his laughter.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
My Yasova Dragonclaw power matters came together fairly well yesterday against Lazav and Feldon. I was able to swing in with Wild Beastmaster, a copy of Beastmaster, Cold-Eyed Selkie, and Wood Elves, then pump everything with a bloodthirsty Rabble-Rouser in response to the Beastmaster triggers. Rabble-Rouser gives everyone +2/+0, Beastmaster #1 gives everyone else +3/+3, and Beastmaster #2 gives everyone else +6/+6, letting me draw 12 cards off of Selkie. Turning a bunch of 1/1s into a 30 damage swing and drawing a dozen cards feels good.

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
One of our playgroup members arrived halfway through the game, looked down at the board, and exclaimed, "I left you alone for ONE HOUR, and now this!?!"
Things weren't looking good for Sakashima, facing Grand Arbiter and Riku. Arbiter had a Blazing Archon, suited up with Lightning Greaves, and dropped Angel of Serenity, taking out the last of my creatures. I topdecked a reweave, rewove the greaves into something innocuous, then kicked a rite of replication on the Angel. And I had a Parallel Lives that I'd stolen earlier from Riku. so I got 10 Angels, and exiled all other creatures. That wasn't the fun part. the fun part was then activating Nykthos, naming white for 30 colorless mana.
Three man game. Me with Ashling the Pilgrim and the other two with Karador, Ghost Chieftain and Daretti, Scrap Savant. I ramp early game with Thran Dynamo and Burnished Hart. I also have my general out with a +1/+1 counter from Opal Palace. Daretti gets out his general, a Mycosynth Wellspring, and a Caged Sun. Karador durdles with some grave fixing, some dudes, and Fecundity. Daretti plays Wurmcoil Engine. I don't like that. Then he plays Steel Hellkite. I really don't like that. I use all of my mana to explode Ashling, then recast her with two +1/+1 counters from the palace and explode her again to wipe the board and send Daretti back to the command zone. Keep in mind that we're drawing off every death from Fecundity. Karador pulls out Karmic Guide getting back Sun Titan getting back Sakura-Tribe Elder. I don't like that, so on my turn I blow up everything again. Daretti replays his commander and uses his -2 to sac the Wellspring to get back Wurmcoil. Karador just keeps durdling. It comes back to me and I draw Doubling Cube. I generate an obscene amount of mana, cast Ashling, equip her with Batterskull, and wipe the board again. Bringing myself up to 101 life. Daretti durdles a bit and it passes to Karador, who casts Sorin Markov, hoping that there is a slim chance that it could stop me.
He ends and it goes back to me. I cast Gauntlet of Power. I did not do any damage that game except through exploding Ashling over and over again, and won in the process. Opal Palace is a total beast in Ashling. Definitely an upgrade over a Snow-Covered Mountain.

1) Awesome play! Your deck sounds sweet, I'd love to see the list
2) Your sig is equally as awesome lol
To avoid double-posting I'll share mine from a few nights ago. I'm playing Shattergang Brothers Stax against Obzedat, Ghost Council blow-things-up, Zedruu The Greathearted take it and like it and Melek, Izzet Paragon combo. I had a Nether Void out preventing any combo shenanigans and had been trying to stick the Living Plane/Doomwake Giant combo all game. I was down a few lands as the Living Plane was out and it wasn't the most welcome thing for people. Melek, who was playing a turn before me, has started to generate enough mana to get around Nether Void and casts both Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, overloaded Cyclonic Rift and a Dream Halls (yea, he had a ton of mana) before passing the turn to me. I had six lands, a bounced Vexing Shusher, Living Plane and Survival of the Fittest with Krosan Grip, Obliterate, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Doomwake Giant and Dosan The Falling Leaf. I draw a Chromatic Lantern. I didn't have the correct combination of mana or cards, even with the Dream Halls out, to cast the Shusher and make my stuff uncounterable so I cast the Lantern. Resolves. Then knowing my only shot was Dosan resolving, cast him and look at the Melek player. Resolves. So I pitch the K-grip for survival, use my last mana from the lantern to search Zealous Conscripts by binning the Doomwake giant, cast Kiki off the Obliterate and with my last cards cast the Conscripts off the Shusher for infinite angry 3/3 ladies with haste.
It was a super long, grindy game that was a ton of back and forth. I wouldn't have been able to combo off as the Zedruu player had a bunch of counters held up, but Melek helped by playing Teferi, the Rift to bounce my Void and Dream Halls. Awesome ending to the game and a fitting end for me as I was moving and it was my last night at the store.

Me with Ashling again. Four player game. Other players are Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Animar, Soul of Elements, and Yasova Dragonclaw. Around turn five, I have Stuffy Doll naming Jalira, Yasova and Animar have some beaters out, and Jalira has Myr Turbine + Proteus Staff. Jalira turns a myr token into It That Betrays, but then it gets eaten by Animar's Duplicant. When it gets back to Jalira, he casts overloaded Cyclonic Rift. Jalira also had a Rhystic Study that was bugging us all game and Animar did bounce shenanigans to grow his general, feeding Jalira cards in the process. Finally, Yasova casts Tranquil Grove to blow up the study. I recast all my artifacts except Stuffy Doll during my turn. Jalira untapped with 11 cards in hand because of Animar. Then he cast Mass Polymorph for five, exiling four myr tokens and Mishra's Factory. Yasova conceded while Jalira was flipping through his deck. He ends up with Thopter Assembly, Myr Battlesphere, Reef Worm, Darksteel Colossus, and Inkwell Leviathan out. Animar recasts his Duplicant and eats the Colossus. He also casts Soul of New Phyrexia and Archetype of Endurance. Then he slaps Whispersilk Cloak on his 12/12 Animar and swings at Jalira. Jalira is at 12 life now and Animar(at 40 life) asks me(at 38 life) if I can finish him off. I recast Stuffy Doll and there is a small debate over who I should name, but I settle on Animar. In hindsight, I don't know why I even considered naming Jalira again. I then cast Wheel of Fortune, me discarding 1, Animar discard 4, and Jalira discarding 7. I ended the turn with casting Outpost Siege set to Khans. Jalira swings at Animar with the unblockable Leviathan and swings at my Doll with his 8 power Battlesphere, dealing 15 damage to Animar. He ends the turn Staffing a myr token to get Chancellor of the Spires. I had cast Smash to Smithereens much earlier when Jalira used Vedalken Shackles to steal my general and use it as a blocker, so he used Chancellor to grab that and destroy Animar's Cloak. On Animar's turn, he goes infinite with Ancestral Statue and casts Blightsteel Colossus. He swings with his dudes that can and Jalira casts Reins of Power to remove them from combat, which was all Reins was really good for because Animar had Homeward Path out. If it weren't for that, he could have stolen my Doll and had Animar smack himself for 9999 damage. I play a land off Siege then cast Mana Flare. I cast Godo, Bandit Warlord and fetch Ashling's favorite S&M gear: Basilisk Collar. I cast Ashling off Opal Palace(oh look, it's this card again) and equip her with Collar. Animar activates Soul in response to the equip ability, but it's futile because I just explode Ashling during Jalira's turn. He also couldn't activate it in response to Ashling's ability because I had 8 mana while he only had 8, so I could stack the activations around Soul's ability. She explodes and I am left with 143 life, Jalira is at 7 now, and Animar is at 12. On Jalira's turn, he Staffs a myr token into a Blightsteel. Then he casts Jace the Mind Sculptor and bounces Animar's Blightsteel. Animar recasts it on his turn and remakes his 9999 Animar, then passes the turn back to me. Siege just gives me Thran Dynamo, not very useful at this point in the game. I cast Ashling off Palace, giving her three +1/+1 counters. Jalira Blue Sun's Zeniths in response, maybe digging for a two mana counter, but he finds nothing and Ashling resolves. I explode Ashling for 6, dealing 12 damage to Animar because of Doll and taking him out of the game.
Jalira is left at 1 life, but still has a kraken token and Blightsteel out. I cast Karn Liberated exiling his Blightsteel, then I slap Sword of Fire and Ice on Doll and swing for game. That was the only time in the entire game that I attacked with a creature.
So OK, this may not be all that epic, but it got a chuckle out of me and I'm sure I'm not alone.
At GP Utrecht, I've been trading a bit and mention some of the cards I just got were for my French EDH deck. A guy closeby overhears and asks if I'd be up for a quick game of French, and he boasted his deck was the best deck at where he's from. So I'm like "Sure, let's do this."
I win the diceroll and go on the play, and notice he's playing Maelstrom Wanderer to my Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. My opening turns are pretty standard: Land, Land Thalia, Land Mentor of the Meek, while he only plays land. Then, turn 4 I drop Loxodon Gatekeeper. He reads the card...and promptly scoops for game 2. I'm surprised but shrug, and on goes Game 2 with him starting, and things go much the same. This time, at turn 6, I drop Rule of Law...and again he scoops.
Turns out his deck was 97 land + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Pestermite.

The other day my friend kicked a Rite of Replication on my Avatar of Woe and on my turn I play my commander... Teysa, Envoy of Ghost who would have thought she was the perfect counter to 5 Avatar of Woe lol
So my deck is insane Jeleva spellslinger built around recasting spells (retrace,rebound,flashback,cipher,etc) and using Talrand,Guttersnipe,etc.
I played Eye of the Storm and had a pair of spells on it. I then cast Mind's Desire.
I had already cast a spell that turn, so 1 storm copy. Then the Eye triggered, casting the other spells and another Desire, making more storm copies. I let a few Desires resolve and hit another instant... Making another 6 or so storm copies (and, of course, more of the other spells on the Eye). After this, I was about to basically play my whole deck, but I had to go.
Could someone double-check that I can, in fact, do this?

Well because other people are posting hilarious moments in EDH ill Share one of my most favorite in all of history. I was playing Oloro there was a Momir vig and a Kozelek in the game pretty casual first turn all land nothing else.
But then second turn The Vig Player plays Jade Mage and out of nowhere one of our friends who has no idea how to play the game yells
EVERYBODY WATCH OUT HE'S GOT A JADE MAGE!!!!!!

5 person game with player on (in turn order) Lazav (shapeshifter tribal), Melek (spellslinger), Brago (Control/flicker), Teneb (reanimator), and I'm playing Riku (spellslinger).
I kept a greedy hand of mountains and islands, topdecked a turn one sol ring and proceed to draw and dig into almost exclusively green spells and no forests. Turn eight rolls around and I'm stuck. My hand consisted of kodama's reach, urban evolution, early harvest, cyclonic rift, and reclaim. I had sol ring, 3 islands and 2 mountains on the battlefield.
I draw eye of the storm and think "what's the worst that could happen, it gets removed? Eh, lets see what happens." I had recursion in hand so I wasn't overly worried, except maybe by Melek.
It seemed that everyone was excited for the storm. Lazav starts by turning Tenebs creatures to swing with his copied creatures.
Melek rite of replications his guttersnipe, after confirming that he can kick it off the storm on future triggers. We take damage.
Brago starts with plea for guidancesnaps a guttersnipe token, brainstorms and cloudshifts using snap to bounce teneb's garruk's horde and the original guttersnipe. Each rite (and the cloudshift) target the master splicer, producing a pile of golems. Everyone else's creatures were frogs this turn.
Teneb wanted in on the action and cast rampant growth, copying then bouncing the clone of his horde.
When it rolls back around to me, they've given me everything I needed. I topdecked isochron scepter as a good lucky draw, cast it imprinting the rift so the it wouldn't be on the eye and someone could mess me up, and activate it to trigger the eye of the storm. Rampant growth find my first forest, and snap untaps it. Kodama's reach finds another forest onto the battlefield tapped, and both forests untap with snap. I play the mountain that reach put into my hand and drop out the early harvest. Melek gets excited that his next turn will involve a long chain of spells.
I proceed to end the game with a large number of golems in play and a larger number of fire at my opponents. They waited for me to chain 4 spells in before realizing the odds of me whiffing and hitting only land in my top six were ever decreasing as they were removed from my deck.
I would've been completely out of the game if they hadn't cast what they did.
When it rolls back around to me, they've given me everything I needed. I topdecked isochron scepter as a good lucky draw, cast it imprinting the rift so the it wouldn't be on the eye and someone could mess me up, and activate it to trigger the eye of the storm.
It hardly invalidates your win since you won that turn and I doubt cyclonic rift in the Eye would have stopped you the way you've described it, but this doesn't work. Isochron Scepter casts the imprinted spell, but it doesn't trigger Eye of the Storm which specifies that it triggers off of an instant or sorcery card, which the Isochron copy is not.

all i had was land and a Jace, Architect of Thought with a blocker i was at about 5 life the whole game but then I somehow secretly get my Jace's final off and I search my deck for Magister Sphinx I search mono red for Bogardan Hellkite and i search Mono brown for Akroma's Memorial I kill daretti in one turn then i trample down the ulamog player.
Fun times

I played Eye of the Storm and had a pair of spells on it. I then cast Mind's Desire.
I had already cast a spell that turn, so 1 storm copy. Then the Eye triggered, casting the other spells and another Desire, making more storm copies. I let a few Desires resolve and hit another instant... Making another 6 or so storm copies (and, of course, more of the other spells on the Eye). After this, I was about to basically play my whole deck, but I had to go.
Could someone double-check that I can, in fact, do this?

But then second turn The Vig Player plays Jade Mage and out of nowhere one of our friends who has no idea how to play the game yells
EVERYBODY WATCH OUT HE'S GOT A JADE MAGE!!!!!!
we spent a good 30 minutes laughing.

I kept a greedy hand of mountains and islands, topdecked a turn one sol ring and proceed to draw and dig into almost exclusively green spells and no forests. Turn eight rolls around and I'm stuck. My hand consisted of kodama's reach, urban evolution, early harvest, cyclonic rift, and reclaim. I had sol ring, 3 islands and 2 mountains on the battlefield.
Lazav has some clones, Melek has a guttersnipe, Brago has master splicer and Teneb just buried alive three creature cards.
I draw eye of the storm and think "what's the worst that could happen, it gets removed? Eh, lets see what happens." I had recursion in hand so I wasn't overly worried, except maybe by Melek.
It seemed that everyone was excited for the storm. Lazav starts by turning Tenebs creatures to swing with his copied creatures.
Melek rite of replications his guttersnipe, after confirming that he can kick it off the storm on future triggers. We take damage.
Brago starts with plea for guidance snaps a guttersnipe token, brainstorms and cloudshifts using snap to bounce teneb's garruk's horde and the original guttersnipe. Each rite (and the cloudshift) target the master splicer, producing a pile of golems. Everyone else's creatures were frogs this turn.
Teneb wanted in on the action and cast rampant growth, copying then bouncing the clone of his horde.
When it rolls back around to me, they've given me everything I needed. I topdecked isochron scepter as a good lucky draw, cast it imprinting the rift so the it wouldn't be on the eye and someone could mess me up, and activate it to trigger the eye of the storm. Rampant growth find my first forest, and snap untaps it. Kodama's reach finds another forest onto the battlefield tapped, and both forests untap with snap. I play the mountain that reach put into my hand and drop out the early harvest. Melek gets excited that his next turn will involve a long chain of spells.
I proceed to end the game with a large number of golems in play and a larger number of fire at my opponents. They waited for me to chain 4 spells in before realizing the odds of me whiffing and hitting only land in my top six were ever decreasing as they were removed from my deck.
I would've been completely out of the game if they hadn't cast what they did.

It hardly invalidates your win since you won that turn and I doubt cyclonic rift in the Eye would have stopped you the way you've described it, but this doesn't work. Isochron Scepter casts the imprinted spell, but it doesn't trigger Eye of the Storm which specifies that it triggers off of an instant or sorcery card, which the Isochron copy is not.
