Had a similar one to this in a game of Minion. The AA was Kozilek and the minion was Nekusar. I was playing Liliana, Defiant Necromancer. It was late in the game and a couple people were knocked out. The minion was wheeling us to death while the AA was swinging with Annihilator and countering our stuff with Kozilek. I tried to land a Gray Merchant of Asphodel to get some life back, but Nekusar countered. I cast Imp's Mischief to redirect his counter, and he follows with Pact of Negation.
And so I go ahead and drop the only nonland card left in my hand. Contamination. Nekusar dies on the AA turn and I reanimate Gary from my graveyard with Beacon of Unrest. It was very, very close but we wound up winning that game.
I was playing against Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Odric, Lunarch Marshal. Almost all of the above happened after Gonti got knocked out and it was 1v1 against Odric. If she had wanted to punch me after that game, I wouldn't really have blamed her.
Just curious, but how did you do this? Time Stop is exiled when it resolves (technically it exiles itself during resolution since the turn ended). How did you get it out of exile 2 extra times? You are playing green so I suppose you could have cast Riftsweeper a couple times, but you didn't mention that.
Atraxa starts going crazy from very early game, so me and Zur work together to keep him down. Midgame, I use Chromeshell Crab to steal Atraxa to stop the proliferating, but she's got Pacifism so I can't attack.
Eventually, Zur loads up with Steel of the Godhead and Ethereal Armor to become a 2-hit KO (combined with the various other enchantments he controls) and takes out Atraxa, giving me Chromeshell Crab back. Zur brings out Sen Triplets to try and control me.
On Zur's next turn, he uses Sen Triplets to silence me, and casts Journey to Nowhere to get rid of my Chromeshell Crab, just in case (Zur takes 2 hits, after all, so I'm going to have another turn). I flip up Willbender to redirect the triggered ability to the Triplets, because turning a morph face-up is not an activated ability, and Triplets doesn't stop it. Zur is unhappy about losing Triplets to his own Journey, but he moves to combat anyway.
Before attackers are declared, I flip up Master of the Veil to turn Chromeshell Crab face-down, and I've got 5 mana left open. I flip the Crab up and take Zur.
Zur doesn't pull up any answers to his own general before I hit him twice, on top of knowing (thanks to Triplets) that I've got Remand and Forbid in my hand. I've also got both Leovold and Rayne, Academy Chancellor (with an aura) in play, so each time he tries to use targeted removal, I draw 3. The first swing with Zur gets me Monastery Siege, Dragons mode.

That one's my bad, and I should apologize to the Odric player next time I see her. My fault for running the one without reminder text and not playing it very often.

It's so elegant though. No reminder text, just three simple words.

Alright this topic has caught my interest. I've been Playing EDH for a long time now and Magic in general a great deal longer. I have seen some crazy shenanigans with it. EDH especially.
Progenitus Superfriends vs Scion vs Animar vs Narset vs Nekusar vs Krenko. 6 Player Extravaganza doubling Season, Mycosynth Lattice and Mana Reflection on the field along with chandra, the firebrand. Played Karn, Silver Golem. Activated Chandra's second skill. Used Karn's ability to turn Doubling season and Mana Reflection into creatures and played Rite of Replication. Kicked. with doubling season as first resolved target. Probably the craziest way to gain Infinite mana but with that many doubling seasons in play I proceeded to play tamiyo, the moon sage and other such 'walkers only to win with a way overpowered Exsanguinate. The look on my opponents faces was priceless. In case of a counter I would have used the rest of my mana to destroy there lands via Karn+lattice
4-player table, late game. I've got Panharmonicon in play and a lot of untapped mana. I spend most a turn cycle expending my resources to fight counter wars over mass removal and intervene in combat so that another player keeps Purphoros, God of the Forge alive and at 5 devotion.
I untap and play a kicked Rite of Replication. No one had countermagic left. They all take 80 and die.
One of my favorite memories of piloting my janky wolfmander deck (back before there were even enough werewolves to fill the deck with) was killing the player who had made that happen with my Sword of Body and Mind, which I run because it makes wolves, via milling his entire library away over multiple turns thanks to all of his creatures in play being blue. The rest of the table heralded me as a hero.
Here's one happened few days back. Super ramp Angry Omna the vs my silly Gabrielle Angel fire deck. Slow angel theme type deck. Anyways was down to around 10 life and he had an army that would kill me next turn and not even a Wrath would save me. What do I top deck, Rite of replication. I proceed to replication with kicker Ombath Locus of Rage and hit him strait to the face for 60 winning right then and there. He looked dumbfounded.

How can you topdeck a blue card in a Selesnya deck?
Anafenza the Foremost (me)
Kaalia of the Vast
Some mono blue steal/borrow deck with a commander that copies creatures and is able to bounce back to owner's hand for 2UU
Dragonlord Ojutai
game was going on for about 3 hours.
blue player with the steal/borrow deck died after the Dragonlord Ojutai player swung with about 30 tokens.
i needed to either draw Black Sun's Zenith, Wrath of God or Crux of Fate to reset the board but I top decked a land instead.
Kaalia of the Vast player casts Decree of Annihilation so we could go home as it was late.
Just a gentle reminder that this isn't the place to be discussing the banning or the ban worthiness of specific cards. We have a whole sub forum for that. Enjoy the amusement of crazy plays here, rant about brokenness over there.
And so I go ahead and drop the only nonland card left in my hand. Contamination. Nekusar dies on the AA turn and I reanimate Gary from my graveyard with Beacon of Unrest. It was very, very close but we wound up winning that game.

It's so elegant though. No reminder text, just three simple words.
I had a pretty strong board with Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Twilight Drover, Falkenrath Noble and Teysa fueling some shenanigans. Karador, with a pretty well stocked graveyard, decided to Living Death the board, to which I responded by Viscera Seering almost my entire board to hurt him as badly as I could and get some stuff back. Triggers resolve, and about half an hour later, the Yidris player gets to resolving his Wall of Blossoms...which drew into Devastation Tide.
Never saw such a graceful ragequit as the Karador player pulled off right there.

It is Magical Christmas land though. Grenzo wouldn't have won the game so quickly if the three goblins weren't in the right place.

Luckily you didn't ban Mana Crypt plays. Nothing broken about that in 1v1.
I did this once (many years ago, before certain bans happened) playing a multiplayer deck in a 1v1 match.
Commander: Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Turn 1: Forest, Mana Crypt, Azusa. Gaea's Cradle, Forest, Sylvan Ranger (getting a Forest)
Turn 2: Forest, Forest, Lightning Greaves, Primeval Titan getting Eye of Ugin and Strip Mine. Attack with Titan, getting Petrified Field and Wasteland.
Opponent kills Azusa, but it's too little too late.
Turn 3: Destroy all 3 of opponent's lands. Activate Eye of Ugin to get Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre. Opponent concedes.
turns sequence is:
