After killing a friend's Jin-Gitaxias twice to save the rest of us from certain doom, he recurs and sticks it a third time, and this time he gives it a Darksteel Plate and Diplomatic Immunity, daring me to remove it a third time.
I top-deck my Jin-Gitaxias.

COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
My deck is primarily a Doubling Season token generating deck. I only really use Momir when I absolutely need to find something specific. I can't remember the specifics. Essentially, I had a Murkfiend Liege and a Parallel Lives in play. I have a copy or 2 of the Liege and am swinging in for a lot of damage every turn. I cast a kicked Rite of Replication on the Liege and now have 11 or so on the board, but then I get put down to 9 by Progenitus. Karrthus says that he can stall the game allowing Progenitus to take me out. I say bring it on! so he casts Abyssal Persecutor! Now Progenitus can't lose the game! I would have to kill them both.
On my turn I cast Doubling Season followed by Parallel Evolution. I now have 40+ Lieges on the board, with something like 11 that could attack. Unfortunately I couldn't kill both opponents, so I aimed to kill the Karrthus player and allow Progenitus to win... but I get talked into trying to kill both... so I attack into Karrthus with 9 of my Lieges, and Progenitus with 2 or 3 of them. I had counted 8 blockers on Karrthus' board but he had a hidden weapon! He activates a Raging Ravine and is able to block all 9 of my tokens. Progenitus is able to block all but one of my attackers, and is now at negative life, but with Percy on the board he can't lose. Now Progenitus is free and clear to kill me, and he does, but he can't kill Karrthus. On his turn Karrthus casts something that lets him sac Percy and he wins! It was a crazy game that lasted way too long, but it was a lot of fun.

Me playing Karador, my friend's Ghave, Guru of Spores, against his dad's Grimgrin deck. Grimgrin lands a Phage, the Untouchable, which eats a removal spell immediately. (Suprise!!). Ghave spends the next few turns dredging and plays Living Death. I look over at Grimgrin and, see Phage sittin in the yard still.
i then proceed to lol.
Friday night I managed to G-wave for 14, hit Ulamog and a Mosswort Bridge, as well as few other good cards, which I followed up with an Exstangiate for 9, putting me back up to 70 from 5. Everything got immediately blown up by someone or other, but when it came back around to me I was able to Rite of Replication a Phyrexian Obliterator
(kicker got stifled) and play the Crucible of Worlds under my bridge. Pulled back my Cabal Coffers, already had Urborg out. Once it got back around to me I managed to topdeck Eternal Witness and Exstangiated against for the win!

After a lengthy game, Rafiq finally dies to nin+psychosis Crawler. At low life I warn Nin to not swing at me or face death, calls my bluff and swings at me for lethal. So I Memory Plunder a Sudden Impact, activate my Quest for ancient secrets, shuffle my yard, cast Mystical Teachings, get the memory plunder back and sudden impact him again to kill him. Then I die a terrible, terrible death to kitty mountain.
In another game, Urabrask vs Nin vs Kaalia vs Riku vs Animar. Animar eventually combo's out for the win but this was something epic that happened during the game. At a EoT Riku casts Blue Sun's Zenith for 11, so Nin RuneFlare Trap's him for what turns out to be lethal damage. We all laughed and threw some high-5's around for that.
Playing 6 player Planechase EDH. The plane is Glimmervoid Basin (instants and sorceries with a single target fork to everything). We joke about Beast Within'ing all the permanents. What happens? My friend untaps, draws his card. Beast Within. He casts Beast Within targetting his Gaea's Cradle. Floats another 6, then before the original beast within resolves, taps his Gaea's Cradle for 14 mana. Casts a Genesis Wave for 17. Flips into Lotus Cobra, Caged Sun, 6 Forests, Garruk Wildspeaker, and other fun stuff. Spends 2 of his 6 floating mana to cast Nostalgic Dreams, getting back his whole graveyard (including the pitched card!). Picks up the Genesis Wave, Eternal Witness, Regrowth, Gaea's Cradle, amongst other things. Plays the Cradle, taps for 16 (20 total), taps his lands + garruk for 16 (36 total) then Gensis Waves for 33. At this point, everyone just looks at their 10-15 beast tokens and scoops it up.
I play Kiki-Jiki EDH, and recently, a friend of mine (who hasn't played since 03, and has ancient cards he inherited from a brother of his) gave me an Italian Gorilla Shaman out of his random spare cards box.
I put it into my EDH deck just for the lulz factor. In one match (Kiki-Jiki (Me) vs. Animar vs. Szadek vs. Scion of the Ur-Dragon) I ended up going infinite with Thornbite Staff, and instead of making an infinite number of goblin tokens, I made infinite copies of Gorilla Shaman, and with a resounding "EVOCA GORILLLAAAAA" I swung for game, only to be promptly Marrow Shard'd.
Both of the plays made all the people in the match die of laughter.
In a similar vein, I used Mimic Vat to copy that same Gorilla Shaman and chumpblocked everything with an "EVOCA GORILLA."
Another time, with the same deck, and a ton of luck getting Anarchist, I cast Warp World a whopping 37 times in a row.

Most importantly: Awesome play, and well thought out by your friend
Also: Planechase (and that plane in particular) are stoopid, and not in a good way...

P.S. You can't Stifle a kicker cost. It's an additional cost, not an ability.
No, Thieves' Auction leads to most relevant players scooping because there's no real reason to let the dumbass red "chaos" deck determine which player at the table with grubby fingers gets to handle the $500+ in permanents you have on the board. Dumb card. /rant

i think gaka wants to have a word with you for that comment. His deck is so chaotic and dumb, its actually a riot to play against.

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.
Had a game last weekend with an Esper casual deck. Game ended when I had a Rune-scared Demon and Leyline of anticipation in play and a clone in hand. Deck had a sub theme of copy/clone. It never occurred to me till I cloned the demon, started tutoring, then pulled out Evil Twin, then Phantasmal Image, Then Sak the Imposter. Finally ending with True Conviction. Was totally not planned just realized it as I was digging though the deck.
