Reminds me of the time Mayael came back from Wrath + Geddon + ulti-Vess against Teysa tokens. He grabs all my stuff and my only permanents are Scroll Rack and Defense of the Heart, His guys trigger Defense, which lets me turtle behind Iona (black) and Blazing Archon. He sits there for a long time, unable to remove either of them because the only spot removal he had left was black and he didn't want to Wrath on such a dominating board position. So basically we stall out for a long time, but I rebuild faster thanks to Scroll Rack and fetchlands. I eventually find Where Ancients Tread, replay Mayael, and start doming him for 5 a turn.
I don't think this was quite as epic as ID Crisis + Cataclysm, but it's close.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Thelas (evil Sygg), Silence (Jhoira), and I (Oona) were all playing blue in a game. Thelas decides to Knowledge Exploitation Silence. Knowing there are tons of expensive sorceries in his deck, I decide to Misdirection it toward me. He finds my Knowledge Exploitation (which I forgot I was running), and casts it at Silence. He gets Obliterate, destroying all permanents except my Phyrexian Arena. I am at 8 life.
So I'm desperately digging for answers (I Arcane Denial a Sphere of the Suns just to draw a card!) and on the last possible card, I draw Memory Plunder, taking Thelas' Knowledge Exploitation for Cryptic Command to bounce my Phyrexian Arena. Then I swing with my faeries to nickel and dime the rest of the players out, having not missed a land drop thanks to double drawing every turn. Man did they make me pull that one out of my ass.

So I'm playing Oona against Dralnu and Intet. Dralnu runs out a Consecrated Sphinx, and I use Shapesharer to copy his Sphinx. We draw a good 20 cards EACH off each other. Then I cast Control Magic on his Sphinx. Both players scooped shortly after.

So there was this Emperor EDH game earlier today. Side A was, from left to right, Jenara, Treva, and red Akroma. Side B was Sharuum, Kresh, and Skithiryx. Things didn't start too well, as Sharuum plays a Howling Mine I don't see.
Sharuum gets Open the Vaults, thankfully with no Traumatize. Jenara has a Door of Destinies with eight counters, but Kresh has a Grave Pact keeping board position under control, and I can't deploy creatures fast enough to keep my generals safe. Then I Reap and Sow for Gaea's Cradle and #*$@ gets real.
I end up playing most of my hand, going for Spitting Image on Platinum Angel but he sacrifices it when Kresh triggers Grave Pact. I get Elspeth and pop her off thanks to Doubling Season, gaining a ton of life off Leyline of Vitality, two Soul Warden effects, and an Orochi Hatchery with 55 counters on it.
Then I go for Eldrazi Monument and it gets Spelljacked! I am going to die to general damage unless I get a flying guy...then I realize Treva is indestructible. I swing at Sharuum to make his life total Platinum Angel...then Skith plays Repay in Kind, drawing the game.
TL;DR: I gain 500 life off Soul Warden effects then kith plays Repay in Kind, making everybody's life total negative.

So we had a guy playing Jaya Ballard, Task Mage as his first EDH deck (we just introduced him to the format) and he let me draw about 10 cards off Rhystic Study before it dawned on him that it's a blue permanent.
I ended up drawing into a Last Stand and Praetor's Counsel off it, and things just got silly from there. I ended up with Time Warp, Eternal Witness, and All Suns' Dawn in my hand. Not exactly infinite turns, but enough extra turns to go ultimate with Jace on everyone else in the game.
Next game everyone was gunning for me, and I got down to 8 life before putting the brakes on everyone's creatures with Meishin, the Mind Cage. Superb anti-aggro card in this format--more people need to play it.
Proliferate with planeswalkers is just disgusting.

In a 4 player Planechase game (Sedris unearth, Oona (me), Skittles, and Glissa), Sedris goes for Tunnel Vision targeting himself. I Misdirection it to Skithiryx, and he names Necropotence (assuming politics here.) It's 8 cards from the bottom. He plays his Necropotence to stop himself from drawing, and I EOT Volition Reins it thanks to Leyline of Anticipation. Then we get stuck in Eon Fog.

Well this morning we had a ridiculous 5-player game, though two quickly dominated...myself playing noncombo Sharuum and another playing 5-color artifact goodstuff. One turn he goes Doubling CubeCopy Artifact, then casts Blightsteel Colossus and Darksteel Colossus in the same turn. As epic as that is, I almost one-up it.
I draw Mox Opal, cast it. Loot with Riddlesmith, pitch Darksteel Forge and put it into play with Sharuum. Sadly she's forced to take one for the team so I don't die to infect. Next turn I play Treasure Mage to find Platinum Angel. So with BSC swinging at me again, my life total is Platinum Angel.
I use Riddlesmith to dig for an answer while a shrouded BSC is busy poisoning everyone else to death. Before I can get anything, he Sculpting Steels my Darksteel Forge!
We laughed for a while, then I used the Wrexial I stole from him earlier in the game (with Memnarch) to play a Mystical Tutor finding Rite of Replication, pointing it at the Colossus. So now I control five Blightsteel Colossi, any one of which can destroy him. But I'm not done yet. It gets worse.
He points Beacon of Unrest at the Sculpting Steel in my graveyard, making a copy of Platinum Angel. So now we both have indestructible Platinum Angels. My Memnarch is in the exile zone and he doesn't run it. We both had around 100 poison counters by the end of that game. Eventually he drew his only out (Oblivion Ring) for Platinum Angel but I had more countermagic in hand than he did.
THIS IS THE GAME THAT NEVER ENDS
YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS

I don't believe Karmic Guide can ever return itself, as when it enters the battlefield you must choose a target for its ability, before state based whisks it off to the 'yard.

Turn 4 I'm sitting on Mana Reflection, Bloom Tender, Mayael, and Survival. Guess who won that one.

This is why you don't cast Enchanted Evening when someone else controls Serra's Sanctum.

Apparently Force Spike is still relevant on turn 9.
And if you had any other counter than Rewind I had that game.

Then he plays Head Games, giving me 21 Swamps.
