Once my friend played was playing a token deck at another table and I just heard "...and I swing in with 150 2/2 squirrel tokens with vigilance for the win."
Another time I forgot my EDH so I borrowed another friend's EDH. "I cast Mind Grind, where X is 56." (Thanks to Liliana of the Dark Realms with her ultimate and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth)

Granted, it was me who did it but it was epic lol. The game was mostly won already but he had a bunch of Trading Post tokens he was using to block me. Those darn goats had swords too.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
One game I decided to try to get a creature up as big as I could with my Vorel off the Hull Clade deck. Heads where turned when someone said "I'VE NEVER SEEN A CREATURE GET TO 2048/2048 BEFORE!"

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.
I was playing my Borderlands Sydri, Galvanic Genius theme Combo deck. Each stranger mentioned little nothings about their deck. When I came to me, I quipped, "I am here to spread the CL4P," as I drop my 20 CL4P-TP (Thopter) tokens onto the table.
Him: Swing at Player C with my 456/456 Primordial Hydra.
Player C: ****. Dead.
Me: EoT, Grab the Reins, entwined targeting your Hydra
Him: Nice. Simic Charm, hexproof mode
Me: Dies on his next turn because I top decked a land.
[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: Goddammit... (watches as Malignus is now a 4/4 and too small to block the incoming fatties profitably)
There was also a time where I casted Villainous Wealth on a group hug player then cast a Hypergenesis from the wealth while everyone was at 27 cards in hand.
We all empty our hands, including a Hive Mind from the group hug player.. And since I got so sick and tired of the game (Games typically get ruined when 2x group hug players show up), I cast a Blue Sun's Zenith for lethal to be copied in response to all the enter triggers. Then to confuse things even more, I dropped two counterspells on the Hive Mind copies to be copied.
Everyone was at a loss of words as to how we would interpret such a board state.
Ugh I'm sure I'll think of better ones but last session I had Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero put Bound in Silence on herself in response to Yasova Dragonclaw trying to charm her over and send her to her death. That got grudging nods from the table ha ha.
The boardstate consisted of my opponent having Wall of Reverence, Serra Avatar, and Cradle of Vitality. So, every turn he would double his life and put that many +1/+1 counters on the avatar. I had a blocker every turn due to combining obscene amounts of mana, Brago, King Eternal, Filigree Angel, and Razor Hippogriff. Coincidentally, that also gave me an incredible amount of life (although it was comparably tiny).
I don't remember the exact quote, but with both of us also being math geeks, we created a formula to calculate his life total based on the number of turns since that combo was assembled (used a D20 to keep track) then just decided to pack up and eat dinner instead of waiting for Commander Damage or me to draw an answer.
Mind you, this happened on turn 4:
"I attack you with my Kobold of Kher Keep token for 16."
The deck was Diaochan, Artful Beauty.

Because of moat, player 2, who now had all the permanents couldnt attack since he had no flyers. He couldnt target his enchantments because of dense foliage. Basically me and player 1 where stuck with no permanents and player 2 had to discard his hand every turn and couldnt attack.
Over 2 turns, I top decked reanimate and a swamp. I reanimated the aura thief and killed everyone at the table by swinging with the Aura Thief, who was apparently the only flyer we could draw.

Probably just going to keep updating this whenever I get a good one. Just finished a game against an Aurelia EDH. "Ok so I swing in with Fabled Hero for 70. That triggers 7 Exalted triggers so that means I swing in for 70, after double strike that's 140 in the air. He has menace so you need two fliers and even still I'd gain 140 and he has trample so I'm pretty sure I win. Good game though."

I was in a game against a Temur goodstuff deck and a Bant deck that was incapable of winning. It was devoted around getting out the enchantment that makes the game end in a tie when you remove the counters (someone help me out on name?). I was playing Aurelia. The bant player got out his 'wincon' and the other player and I looked at eachother. We asked if the other could deal with it. Neither of us could, then I said what if I just kill him? So, one entwined Savage Beating for three total combats (aurelia), all with double strike, the game was essentially over. I did lose to the temur guy after shenanigans a few turns later though.

I would be interested in seeing your decklist for that one ^^.

I am playing against an enchantress deck. He's locked up the game pretty well, but he doesn't have a win condition in play. I cast a Possibility Storm to try turn my Rampant Growth into something (Tooth and Nail?).
My opponent looks at his hand and goes "*****. My win-con is in hand. I can't win."
I love my Possibility Storm. I like messing with people's game plans. But that's the only time someone has told me it was impossible for them to win.
One game I decided to try to get a creature up as big as I could with my Vorel off the Hull Clade deck. Heads where turned when someone said "I'VE NEVER SEEN A CREATURE GET TO 2048/2048 BEFORE!"
I've had a Vorel player stand up and ask the room if anyone on any the other tables had some spare dice, as he'd used all of those that the 4 players on his table had on them.
Speaking of Possibility Storm; ever seen a Collective Voyage turn into a Worldspine Wurm and an Avacyn, Angel of Hope?
Collective Voyage became See the Unwritten hitting those two. So much for the idea of holding down the boardstate with it. The guy casting the Voyage was pretty new too, so when he flipped over the Unwritten into Avacyn and Worldspine, he almost had a heart attack of joy.

Saw a person try and cast Recurring Insight with a board of Vorinclex, Iona, Shield of Emeria, and Urabrask the Hidden. Possibility Storm turns it into a Mass Polymorph... for Birds of Paradise, Thragtusk, and Spellskite... the only awful targets in the deck for MP.

"I hope to have such a death... lying in triumph atop the broken bodies of those who slew me..."
You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

They can still cast their win condition, which will be exiled and then put on the bottom of their library. They'll have to eventually dig it out of their library, but that's definitely not impossible.

If I have a vote, it's for this one.
Player 2 had enchanted evening, dense foliage and starfield of nyx out. He then played aura thief, killed it and took possession of all permanents on the field.
Because of moat, player 2, who now had all the permanents couldnt attack since he had no flyers. He couldnt target his enchantments because of dense foliage. Basically me and player 1 where stuck with no permanents and player 2 had to discard his hand every turn and couldnt attack.
