At the end of Selvala's next turn, every upkeep trading my snake tokens for something better, I had every creature on the board under my control except for a few snakes.
A hobby is by defenition something you're not any good at - otherwise it'd have been your work. Magic is my biggest hobby so I mustn't be very good at it.
While testing a new Blue control/mill EDH (Stitcher Geralf is the commander) this: "I play Blue Sun's Zenith targeting [opponent] for the win. Where X is 40."

How cute. Usually I cast my Zeniths or Stroke of Geniuses for X=700.000.000.000. Roughly.

My Feldon-Dragon-EDH:
I had thanks to repeadetly recurring Myr Battlesphere 16 Myr tokens, a Feldon of the Third Path and a Dragon Tempest on the battlefield and an Utvara Hellkite in my graveyard. Got a copy token of my Hellkite. 1 Damage. Descent of the Dragons for my Myrs and Feldon. 272 + 1 Damage. (At this point I had won, but I calculated a little further.) All-in with all dragons. 17 Hellkite triggers. 578 + 272 +1 damage. 17 dragons want to party, too. 70 + 578 + 272 + 1 = 921 damage. Good times.

This makes me very very happy. I am very glad this happened. Thank you.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that Rakshasa Vizir was on the battlefield at the time. I exiled 60 cards (this was very late game) and so Rakshasa Vizir also became a 64/64.
That is impressive. By the way, if you surround a card name with these characters [ c ] and [ / c ] but remove the spaces it gives you those nifty autocard links you see elsewhere.
So, [ c ]Empty the Pits[ / c ] when you take out those spaces becomes Empty the Pits

Ah thank you for the tip. I will use it.
And yeah it was very late into the game and it was basically do that, or mill out. Most of my cards were either on the field, in the grave, or in my hand. I honestly probably only had about 5 cards left in my library.

I was playing a losing game. My opponent, a friend who mentioned he was hungry, played a God-hand, but he could not finish me off because of my Capsize buyback shenanigans. We landed permanents and matched top decks.
Moment of truth: He casts Chaos Warp. "Before Warp resolves, we can go eat right now or play this out." My friend decides the game is almost over, so in response to Chaos Warp, I cast Radiate. He straightens his back and reads Radiate as if it was Greek to him. "Burgers sound good to you," he quipped as we shook hands and called it a draw.
[EDH] It's built to be a casual format and to a specific vision, and if you don't like the vision, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not going to change to accommodate everyone. Big tent is not a goal.
Me: (after drawing some cards and having only 5 mana remaing, and a few things on board, including Eternal Witness) "I cast Phyrexian Metamorph, copying nothing."
Player 1: Why?
Me: "I have a Caged Sun on U out. It's a 1/1. Pass the turn."
Them: Ok... (takes their turn)
Me: "Gilded Lotus, Rite of Replication on the Metamorph. 4 copies enter and cpoy the Lotus, the last becomes an Enternal Witness. Tap the 4 Lotai for 6 G and 6 U, use Witness to get back Rite. Lather, rinse, repeat until I have infinite mana and infinite copies of everything on the board."
Player 1: "Oh, that was why".
Hehehe

Me - "Attack each of you with 16 squirrels each, gg?"
Marath player - "Damn. I needed one more turn"
Kresh player - Grumble, grumble...
Oloro player - "No, I'm at 124 life..."
Me - "Even if you block 4 of them, you are taking 156 damage"
Oloro player - "Oh..."
Me - "Kicked Rite of Replication targeting Craterhoof Behemoth, copy it with Riku"
Oloro player - "*****! How much is that!!"
Me - " Let's see, that's 5 Behemoths entering play with 1 already in play plus Riku, so they'll get +7 each so +35, then another 5 come in giving everything +12 each so +60, so it's 6 100/100's and 5 65/65's...990?"
Oloro player - "Ha! I'm still alive"
Me - "Oh wait, and Riku... he's an 87/87 so that makes it 1077..."
Oloro player - "You've got to be !@%*@% kidding me..."
Turns out that Alhammarret's Archive is awesomely good in Oloro, and having it and Boon Reflection out at the same time is absurd. Turns out that Rite of Replication in Riku is even better; I would venture to say that 11 mana and a Riku in play is the most fun ever playing EDH...
So, on turn 4 I play Braids. Everyone gets very excited except my friend the control player (he's seen me play the deck). He tries to counter Braids, but the Niv player wants his free stuff.

EDH Decks
Thanks To DarkNightCavalier For the Sig!!!
Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath: Has Liliana's Reaver, Bloodgift Demon and then plays Ophiomancer.
Selvala, Explorer Returned (hug): Commander in play, plus a Magus of the Vinyard, Wall of Blossoms and a couple of small creatures. Then plays Primal Vigor
Norin the Wary (me): Play Norin, then play Confusion in the Ranks, take over Primal Vigor, attack with Norin, end of turn take over Ophiomancer.
At the end of Selvala's next turn, every upkeep trading my snake tokens for something better, I had every creature on the board under my control except for a few snakes.
Also great: someone playing Tempt with Vengeance for X=14, but failing to realise there's a Purphoros, God of the Forge somewhere else on the table.
He didn't, that's why he said 'I lost that game. They made me take a new hand and start over.'

This is hilarious as the gods are indestructible. I would have had a stroke from laughing so hard.
I often use Magus of the Abyss to destroy Sapling of Colfenor. I say Sapling loves getting destroyed, it is one of his favorite things.
I had someone try to Doom Blade my Inkmoth Nexus that had 9 +1/+1 counters on it with Chandra's Ignition on the stack. The problem? My side of the battlefield contained a Darksteel Forge.

Two games later...

Me: My Braids, Conjurer Adept draw everything deck
Opp #1: Controlly deck packed with counters
Opp #2: Red Aggro
Opp #3: Big Green things
Opp #4: Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind combo
So, on turn 4 I play Braids. Everyone gets very excited except my friend the control player (he's seen me play the deck). He tries to counter Braids, but the Niv player wants his free stuff.
This round around the table was GROSS for free stuff. In order, it goes Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Hamletback Goliath, Krosan Cloudscraper, and then Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, and then plays Niv for extra fun.
Everyone is laughing at the crazy big stuff they all had and I drop Ixidron in with my trigger, and everyone stops.
Opp #2 (the newest player) reads the card and says: "So.. how do we flip them back face-up?"
Several: "You don't."
I have never been disappointed when I've cast a Radiate in a game. It's always fun.
