Planechase is such a fun format, and it often results in some insane turns and interactions. I can remember an EDH game where we started on Krosa, and somebody rolled double chaos into a turn 3 Progenitus... The next player proceeded to planeswalk into Celestine Reef.
What are the craziest plays you've seen in a Planechase game?

Quote from Fry, from Futurama »
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came and the grasshopper died and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?
An EDH game awhile back- We started out in Horizon Boughs. I took my first turn and rolled chaos for my free roll, searching out 3 basics and putting them into play. Then I played my land for the turn, rolled again and once again rolled chaos. Turn 2 I had 8 lands in play and a hand full of juice. The rest of the table promptly scooped and we started over.
Another EDH game- a friend of mine had Ob Nixilis, the Fallen in play. He rolls, and we planeswalk to Naya. He contemplates his turn, before realizing that he has just won by bouncing his rakdos carnarium and golgari rot farm enough times for the win.
Not quite as fast as sakura's but:
4 player commander game- We start with The Æther Flues and my friend get chaos and puts down Solemn Simulacrum. Comes back around to him still on flues and he Polymorph's it into a Primeval Titan. He plays Lightning Greaves, equips and attacks, giving him a total of 7 lands turn 2. His next turn, he shows us Avenger of Zendikar and a fetch, and we scoop.
You know the card is good when 1/3 of the people say its underpowered, 1/3 say its just right, and the other 1/3 say its overpowered.

The biggest thing I have seen happen is arriving on Naar Isle with a Furnace of Rath on the table and watching as the double damage wiped out the whole table.
Started out on Shiv. I rolled chaos an got a dragon. Next player rolled chaos and got a dragon too. Rerolled and we entered Sokenzan! both of u proceeded to beat down on the third player who couldn't mount a defence in time (just because he won last round. Lol)
Another three player game and we were on Naar Isle. The plane claimed its first victim through the player before me, and I was about to take lethal damage on my turn. I played Time Stop during my upkeep! The next player took exactly lethal damage the following turn!
4 player game and we started out on Otaria. One player rolled chaos like 3 turns in a row, and by the time his 'first' turn ended, he had Geth, Lord of the Vault out
Still one of my fondest memories of the game. 8-man FFA planeschase. I'm playing monogreen stompy which is weird cuz i hate monogreen decks lol. But anyway first turn of the game we start on The Maelstrom and my friend drops a land and passes to me, i reveal a Gaea's Revenge off the top and start going to town.
Here's mine, shamelessly copied and pasted from the Wizards boards:
My group was playing a FFA game with the Planechase variant rules one night. At some point well into the night, the player furthest behind rolls us all into the Glimmervoid Basin. Because he was in the worst position, he decided to Radiate his Capsize and send us all back to the beginning of the game. Everyone else was obviously pissed off, as the game had been going on for some time already. He laughed the way only a griefer can, dropped a land, and figured out what he was going to discard.
Everyone seemed to reach the same conclusion: since the game was effectively restarting anyway, it would be mostly pointless to concede and begin a new one. The game continued on, but there was hostility lingering in the atmosphere. The next player drew his card, played a land, and rolled his freebie throw of the die. We planeswalked to Naya. Everyone besides Captain Radiate bursted into hysterics, and we all took advantage of the plane until I rolled us away, right before he could get a chance to get back into the game.
I was waaay behind in the game. I was down to 18, facing down a Wrexial and dozens of tokens on both sides of me (I was playing mono-blue, so the Wrexial was particularly threatening); the other players were in their mid-upper 30s. I roll to Horizon Boughs, swing Thada into the guy with the Wrexial and exile some artifact (I forget exactly what). Then I prowl Knowledge Exploitation on him to cast his Living Death. And pull Memnarch back out of my graveyard, and proceed to beat face while stealing 3-4 permanents on each player's turn. There was an Extraplanar Lens and a kicked Rite of Replication in there somewhere, too. =3
I think the craziest game I ever took part in was one that started on Fields of Summer - we were all playing fairly slow deck, and through some fluke everyone managed to roll the chaos at least twice by turn 3 (so everyone was on at least 60 life). One guy, who was running some form of black multiplayer deck, dropped a Blood Seeker, and rolled us off the Fields and into the Glimmervoid Basin. A few turns later, all six players had five Blood Seekers (the dice rolling was crazy that game), and I ended the game by giving everyone else a copy of my Blood Seeker token
The next game ended with Naar Isle on 15 flame counters
