Azami (me), Bontu, Sygg River Cutthroat and Rashmi in this game.
Already a few turns into the game I decided to play out my Paradox Engine to help me back into the game. Rashmi responds with Pact of Negation but I have Counterspell up to the annoyance of the Rashmi player, but Sygg chimes in with her own Pact of Negation. Unable to answer that, Engine goes to the graveyard. I end my turn. Bontu brings back Festering Mummy with Sheoldred, Whispering One, only to sac it to Altar's Reap and kills my Sage of Epityr with the -1/-1 trigger. Then swings at me with Bontu and Sheoldred much to the enlightenment of the other players, as it puts me down to 4, tapped out and no creatures on the board.
Though as the others amusingly try to decide whom gets the kill, Bontu motions them to calm down, saying he has this. Then to their horror he drops Winter Orb onto the board and passing, causing both Sygg and Rashmi to die to the Pact triggers. Not drawing anything too special I just pass and let the guy claim the final kill as well.

Play Crypt, Petal, and Opal. Tap Opal for U, sacrifice Petal for B, and tap Crypt for 2. 2UB floating.
Play Lab Man, B floating.
Cast Consultation, naming a card not in my library, exiling the entire thing.
Cycle Street Wraith.
(Looking at my list, there are a number of redundancies for this same basic T1 play. The Petal or Opal could be replaced by one of the Spirit Guides + Wild Cantor or by Chrome Mox+a blue or black card, for example. Street Wraith could be Gitaxian Probe, etc.)
Zur spends most of the game mana screwed with no black mana, though he isn't attacked since he's behind Ghostly Prison + Propaganda. Early in the game Gonti punches Mishra's Tezzeret, the Seeker in the face, and then I use Misinformation to put it back on top of his deck so I can Gonti it for myself. Over the next few turns, as people kinda just try to draw lands or durdle with their artifacts, I use Tezz to find both Nim Deathmantle and Ashnod's Altar (and I draw into Cabal Coffers just for good measure).
Now normally I'd be pretty pumped about this on it's own, but I know Mishra is basically playing every broken artifact in the game, all of which cost 2 less to cast thanks to Blood Funnel, so he could easily just go infinite with Time Sieve out of nowhere. But then he claims he wants to 'move the game forward' and plays Possibility Storm.
Lucky for me, Gonti doesn't play cards from your hand, so he sneaks in under the storm. So essentially, thanks to the storm I am the only one playing real magic and thanks to his Tezzeret's tutoring my commander has "2: cast Impulse on target opponent's library"
From there I basically just make a ton of mana, Gonti Mishra 3-4 times, play his Blightsteel Colossus and Mindslaver him. Zur finally gets his black and casts Zur, but I bounce it with his Commit // Memory and kill him with the Colossus next turn after using the slaver as a time walk on the Mishra player. On Mishra's next upkeep, he tries to get the Mindslaver back with Academy Ruins. I Gonti him again after it resolves, getting his Mindslaver. At this point I have the slaver lock on him myself as well as the poisonous colossus and he just concedes.
Had an only in EDH boardstate last night. Playing Olivia, Mobilized for War reanimator against Riku of Two Reflections goodstuff, Intet, the Dreamer dragons/topdecks, and Phelddagrif politics. Late in the game, I had a boardstate that included Ghirapur Orrery, Bazaar of Baghdad, Crucible of Worlds, and Key to the City → start turn, draw 3, draw for turn, draw 2, discard lands, play lands from yard, do something with the remaining 3 cards in hand, then repeat next turn (using Key to keep things moving if necessary). Basically a free wheel each turn. I still died thanks to a pro-deck Oversoul of Dusk from Phelddagrif, but it was fun while it lasted.
In the continuing theme of Bazaar "fair" use, I used it in the following game to turn on Hazoret the Pervert the turn I played her so I could swing. I think it's one of the least broken things you can do with the card.

Turn 2 I play a BoP and Turn 3 both opponents refuse my Tempt with Discovery
Turn 4 is play Commander and then GSZ for an Elvish Visionary (which the Sen player flashes in a Notion Thief to eat the draw).
The Karlov player Swords the Notion thief due to the Skullclamp they have in play, and the Sen player takes a chunk of turn cloning the skullclamp to draw some more cards off an earlier token
While this didn't win her the game, this was an amazing moment for a local newbie.
We were playing a 4-way-game. Me with Thrasios, Triton Hero & Ravos, Soultender vs Atarka, World Render, Karador, Ghost Chieftain and Ezuri, Renegade Leader. The Atarka player is pretty new to the game and it's her first deck, and it's slowly developing from "A pile of janky dragons" to "An actually focussed dragon deck."
Early in the game we had a fun moment. Ezuri had an explosive start as Ezuri does, when Karador dropped Massacre Wurm. Naturally this sets Ezuri back a bit but SURPRISE BEARS thanks to Caller of the Claw. So the turn rolls to me and I decided Clever Impersonator on Karador's Massacre Wurm was the way to go. This killed Ezuri.
So we had a 3-way for a while, eventually Karador gets outgrinded by me while Atarka takes a few potshots, but runs into clogged airspace. Still, I don't have nearly enough to safely kill Atarka, who at this point does have a Scourge of the Throne with some +1/+1 counters on it. Sadly for her, I was 1 life below her thanks to a fetchland (We went into my turn on level peggings) which I believed put me in safe range from Scourge, not remembering Atarka to have self-damaging lands.
Atarka meanwhile had 2 cards in hand. She draws her third, thinks for a bit...then drops Sol Ring, followed by Yavimaya Elder, which she sacs for a Mountain and Forest to the hand. This is followed up by Akoum Hellkite, and then the Forest, pinging herself, putting us even again...and thus turning on the Second Combat Step ability of Scourge.
It ended up not winning her the game because I used my last four mana for Restoration Angel to blink my Sidisi, Undead Vizier, who in turn hit my Protean Hulk...tutoring up Spore Frog and Seedborn Muse, and she didn't get her grave hate fast enough to stop me from just recurring my frog, but that was a great moment.

This is an absurd turn 3. I love non-infinite big plays.
I recently mentioned my Reyhan + Sage of Hours + Corspejack Menace + Rite of Replication for 72 extra turn. The deck still goes big every time it's played.
My cousin was piloting it against me.
Primordial Hydra and two creatures in play. He cast Mirrorweave, targeting hydra. This wiped my board, and he swung in for 8 times the number of +1/+1 counters on each creature, for exactly 120 damage.
Other games were explosive in different ways but this deck is turning out well.
Totally confused here.
How much life did you have by that point? 18+18+15=51 Does your playgroup start higher than the standard 40?
Also, with Neheb, the Eternal, does that actually count a life total exchange via Soul Conduit as a loss of life? My thinking is, you were the one that lost the life by paying it, then you would just swap totals resulting in the opponent not actually losing life. Maybe I'm missing something.
8 player game, my playing K&T. I've been handing out permanents all game, and Riku is in play, allowing me to copy Expropriate, netting 16 extra turns.
Also, with Neheb, the Eternal, does that actually count a life total exchange via Soul Conduit as a loss of life? My thinking is, you were the one that lost the life by paying it, then you would just swap totals resulting in the opponent not actually losing life. Maybe I'm missing something.
CR 118.5: If an effect sets a player’s life total to a specific number, the player gains or loses the necessary amount of life to end up with the new total.

Thanks, duh! I feel like an idiot lol. I looked at that for five minutes trying to figure it out.
I did not know about the CR 118.5 either, has it always been like that?
Last night the table let me do silly things with my Thrasios & Tarl (TnT) deck.
It was a four-player game that had gone for a little while. I cast Regal Behemoth and incredibly was still the monarch on my next turn. I had 19 mana available. I cast Rite of Replication on Regal Behemoth.
It resolved!
My lands tapped for 7 mana each! I cast Sundering Growth for another Behemoth, though I actually forget about that one. Despite that error, thanks to Early Harvest I still had an absurd amount of mana. I cast Thrasios for four and started digging.
After hitting Wild Ricochet and Aurelia's Fury, I stopped to calculate. Assuming my lands tapped for 7 each instead of the 8 they should have, I nonetheless was able to Fury for 69 and copy it, burning out my opponents.
I take 10 damage with Neheb, the Eternal out and a Wheel of Fate with one counter on it, at 10 life everyone is tapped out, most people are lowish as the game as been bloody except for one person.
Draw into new hand
Swing Neheb at the person whose only creature was Carrion Feeder
Use the 4 mana I make to Seize the Day hitting him for another 4
Use 3 mountains to flashback Seize the Day and the 8 floating to Insurrection
37 Damage killing the highest life total followed by 5 to each other person off of Warchief Giant
47RFall of the Titans kills the other two players in my final main phase
I look at my hand, I have two spells. Vampiric tutor and Dismiss I decided to cast Tutor and then Dismisss it to draw a card.
I draw into Venser, Shaper Savant. I cast Venser to bounce Consuls. He [card-Sensei's Divining top]tops[/card] to draw (can't remember which card, but it was going to stop venser from bouncing the card needed, was either in white or black because that is what his general's colors were)
It resolves and venser does not bounce consul. Until I decide to bounce deadeye and target venser, Venser gets his Bounce trigger and i switch deadeye back to whale to empty my opponents life count.
by far one of the most intense moments in MTG i have had. I have had other ones but the way it played out was amazing.

47RFall of the Titans kills the other two players in my final main phase
Sorry, I don't get something with the mana count here... The four R gained through the second attack of Neheb shouldn't be lost as the third main phase kicks in? Or - as I read Neheb better - in EVERY post-combat main phase you add an amount of R corresponding to the cumulative life lost by your opponents in the turn? Woah, that's crazy!
Yisan has clearly not dealt with this specifically before, and does not think things through.
I proceed to cast his hand, including Yisan, the Wanderer Bard.
And a Winter Orb.
There is no third main phase?
It's first main phase - combat (all the steps) - second main phase - etc
There is if something gives you a third Main Phase. Like Seize the Day (as was the original example). So, the player actually got a third and fourth Main Phase in that turn and Neheb triggers in both of them.
Brutal, but to be fair, it was Prossh with a Goblin Bombardment, and I didn't have any enchantment removal.
I hit some of the best token-producers in his deck (other than his commander), too, plus Parallel Lives.
He basically topdecked land until the mono-blue player cast Timetwister. The Bombardment didn't actually get dealt with until after he had done somewhere around 25 damage with it. Prossh was gunning for me all game, but I felt vindicated by how much use he got from the enchantment I targeted him for.
Got a chance to see my Sisay deck be REALLY obnoxious, all due to Hunting Grounds.
So I put it on the field, and people ask how many cards in my GY. I accurately answer "6". End of my turn, I discard my hand down to seven. :3
So for several rounds, people are playing spells, and I'm splurging my hand onto the board. People don't want to attack me because of the inevitable backlash, but that doesn't stop everyone from demanding enchantment/permanent hate to target my H. Grounds(other targets kept getting priority, which honestly amazed even me).
Guy drops Emrakul, the Promised End, and takes control of a guy with a 35/35(some creature that got P/T equal to all cards in hands when it ETB'd...with six people in the pod, that was nasty). Smacks me with it via Rogue's Passage. So, I'm down to 12. I manage to survive the other turns, and it goes back to Emmy, who attacks me again; no blockers in the air. I smirk, and respond with "I tap 1G, activate Bow of Nylea, survive with 2." He dies by the time turn goes to me. I survive four more full rounds at 2 life until I can crack Nissa's ultimate to gain some life, all the while STILL spurging my hand from H.Grounds.
Ended up becoming a no contest 2 rounds later because we were all hungry, but it was hilarious seeing my deck get knocked down to the mat, and stubbornly climb back up.
Already a few turns into the game I decided to play out my Paradox Engine to help me back into the game. Rashmi responds with Pact of Negation but I have Counterspell up to the annoyance of the Rashmi player, but Sygg chimes in with her own Pact of Negation. Unable to answer that, Engine goes to the graveyard. I end my turn.

Then to their horror he drops Winter Orb onto the board and passing, causing both Sygg and Rashmi to die to the Pact triggers.

15 Life to play Neheb, the Eternal
Move to Second Main get 36 Red Mana
12 Mana to play and activate Planar Portal
