I was facing Venser, the Sojourner at 5 loyalty and Vraska the Unseen at 5 loyalty (was blinked by Venser past turn) with the prospect of losing a non-land permanent every turn with my Melek deck.
I casted Jace, the Mind Sculptor and brainstormed. Using Melek, I casted a metalcrafted Molten Psyche where my opponent just happen to have 5 cards, so I can redirect the damage to each planeswalker. I won several turns later with those threats removed.
This is the crazy plays thread. That seems kind of boring.
My opponents could have disrupt me several times. They tried to kill talrand with multiple sac effects (Fleshbag Marauder + Abyssal Gatekeeper combo). The Turn 1 Mana Flare had one opponent dropping Mana Reflection and getting 12 mana (with Sol Ring) on turn 4.
Also on my game-ender, each drew a total of 21 cards (via Wheel and Molten Psyche) so that's (21*3) = 63 possible answers they could possibly have to disrupt any combos plus whatever they had initially discarded.
Why didn't you simply win off of mystical or personal tutor (personal gets sorceries, which are like instants, but less fun).
1) cast tutor, get copy.
2) copy puts reiterate on top. Cast with buyback, get copy, have lots of tutors.
3) get reset or turnabout. Make the manas, lots of them, since you have reiterate.
4) get any spell that deals damage, reiterate the **** out of it.
5) you still have a mystical tutor copy (at least) plus you have reiterate and infinite mana. You can cast every instant in your deck an infinite amount of times, if you so desire.
Somehow in the 4 player game, there were 4 Omen Machines. One was my original, then I Juxtapose it for Mirrorworks from the Sharuum player. I took a Sculpting Steel copy of machine into another token copy. Then someone metamorph into the 4th one. The funniest thing was Edric put Eye of the Storm out there so any instant/sorceries would instantly get Eye'd.
I also tried to play Thieves' Auction but everyone threaten to quit so I didnt play it.
Eventually 2 people quit due to sheer madness for several turns. and I lost to Tez 2.0 Ultimate from Sharuum.
I had 2 Omen machines (1 copied) on the field after I did a Warp World (which gave me the original Omen). Later I dropped Knowledge Pool to eventually beat my opponent's with their own cards!
Opponent A suspended Wheel of Fate several turns ago with his Tibor and Lumia instant/sorcery deck.
Opponent B most recent play was Maul Splicer with Parallel Lives on the battlefield in a Rhys token deck.
On turn 6 I play Consecrated Sphinx in my Jenara enchantress deck. Opponent A's turn happens and he doesnt have any removal or counters for Sphinx or Fate. I draw 35 cards from the wheel then proceed to vaporize everyone's permanents on turn 7.
Playing 1 on 1 vs Ghave with Sharuum land destruct.
My opponent manages to flip Elbrus, the Binding Blade and deals 13 damage to me next turn. I had the last laugh though when I casted Soulscour the turn afterwards. He promptly scooped.
Playing 1 on 1 vs. my friend's Ghave token deck while I'm playing 5C Horde of Notions flashback deck.
He Turn 2s Mayor of Avabruck and flips it since I couldn't play any spells or do anything until turn 6. He gets Parallel Lives in play and I eventually go down to 20 before I'm able to cast my 1st spell (due to not getting any W or B mana for mass removal in my hand), which happens to be Consecrated Sphinx.
Turn 1 Bazaar of Baghdad. Looted 5 more times in the game in order to get lands and to win! Casting "terrible" flashback spells with Secrets of the Dead equals playable cards since they cantrip!
So I had Erayo flipped with Cloud Key, Sensei's Divining Top, and Future Sight when someone destroyed Erayo. I Sun Titan Erayo then flip her with multiple top casted off the top of my library. Couple of turns later, someone Krosan Grip Erayo, but I brought it back with Sun Titan so everyone just scooped.
So I'm playing Sharuum No combos but Land Destructions galore against 4 other players.
One player decides to Armageddon since he's having land issues according to him. I was getting land flooded, but I still had Sun Titan and Sol Ring on the board. Next turn, I Sculpting Steel my Sol Ring, get a land drop, and have Sun Titan recur another land. So 3 turns later I Death Cloud for 4 to seal the deal on everyone with enough mana to cast Sharuum and recur Steel Hellkite.

I didn't have the Reset/Reiterate combo in the deck. I rely on attrition through Guttersnipe/Psychosis Crawler or straight out "fireballing" with Molten Psyche and Grapeshot.
Turn 2 - Izzet Boilerworks, Talrand, Sky Summoner
Turn 3 - Island, play general Melek, Izzet Paragon, cast Mystical Tutor (off top of library) EOT to get Wheel of Fortune
Turn 4 - Play Wheel, play Mana Crypt, Volcanic Island, Cloud of Faeries, Personal Tutor into Mind's Desire. Play Mox Opal, Molten Psyche. Cast Mystic Retrival to get Mind's Desire again. All 3 opponents all scoop despite still alive at 5 life, but saw I was playing solitaire Magic and never ending that turn.
I also tried to play Thieves' Auction but everyone threaten to quit so I didnt play it.

turn 1->swamp
turn 2->cavern of souls, heartless summoning
turn 3-> swamp, priest of gix, overeager apprentice -> discard swamp, hardcast Griselbrand. With one black mana floating, I show Sacrifice in my hand
My opponent cursed in disbelief and saying he's broke then rage quits.
My opponent manages to flip Elbrus, the Binding Blade and deals 13 damage to me next turn. I had the last laugh though when I casted Soulscour the turn afterwards. He promptly scooped.

I then Cackling Counterpart next turn and then Spitting Image it the turn after that. I "discard" Avenger of Zendikar and casted Increasing Ambition the turn afterwards to get Phyrexian Altar to pretty much win it.
One player decides to Armageddon since he's having land issues according to him. I was getting land flooded, but I still had Sun Titan and Sol Ring on the board. Next turn, I Sculpting Steel my Sol Ring, get a land drop, and have Sun Titan recur another land.
