My triumphant moment involved dropping a Soul Foundry, and imprinting the Onslaught beatstick that is BERSERK MURDOLONT, and then following that up with a Copy Artifact, creating another Foundry, and imprinting the underappreciated PROWLING PRANGOLIAN.

You will note that the Prangolian is a beast, which allowed me to gain MASSIVE SYNERGY through the use of Early Harvests and Twiddles, and after pumping out a massive army of ravenous monsters (all of which get +1/+1 when blocked), I surgically removed the nutsacks of all my opponents.

Actually, there was nothing surgical about it.  Look again at the picture of the MURDOLONT, and ask yourself if he would use a surgeon's precision?

Nay!!!  My opponents had their beanbags shredded to tiny bits, and strew across all of Dominaria.

I was playing against a Zur's Weirding deck with Dragon and my opponent had a Humility in play.  I was contemplating on scooping but decided to fight it out.  I cast Dance of the Dead on a Dragon from my graveyard and beat him down with a 2/2 dragon for 10 turns that cost me 1b to untap it every upkeep.  The funny part was that my opponent was running 4 STP and 2 Wrath of God with tutors to find them.  He drew land for 7 of the turns and the other 3 were counters.

Too long of a story to recant but I casted gorilla shaman on turn one and jokingly said, "Now you are on a 20 turn clock!"  Low and behold, I attacked 20 times and won.  I wasn't sure whether to be happy or ashamed of myself.  It was a surreal experience....I believe I was playing with Keeper and against parfait.  

I offically retired that Shaman from future game play

It was def. the time I was playing unpowered TnT. My opponent was playing elves. I keep a hand I shouldn't of, and as such my opponent is able to cast many elves(3 wellwishers among them) and get to 87 life. He never attacked, in fear of my one welder. I top deck survival, lay it, pass the tunr, he goes up to like, I dunno, some freaky number. I peel triskelion, send it to the yard for anger>trisk #2>squee>welder. Lay welder number 2, weld some rnadom artifact in to a trisk, say go, his eot, I use 1337 tisk+welder gunning to take out hhalf his army, durnig my turn, take out the other half, drop karn, and finish him off wiht a sol ring, time gets called as he is at 1 life, and no chance of a blocker surviving(killing with ring was for style points only).

I'm playing against rector trix with sligh. we both have got basically all of our land killed and hands emptied. he has a rector out. i have nothing out. he is at around 20 life and i am at 20

he swings at me for 19 straight turns of rector beatdown

turn 20 i block with something
the next turn i kill him

in 20 turns he did not draw squat and eventually i drew enough burn over the turns that didnt get coutnered or duressed away to kill him right when i was going to die.

[BreathWeapon]

In a top deck war with Rector/Trix vs U/Rphid I won by Donating my Manacrypt and bleeding him for 3 every turn, w00t.

Low-power Keeper vs. Stompy, running low on cards... I Yawg's Will, casting my *2nd* balance out of the graveyard, followed by ancestral, lotus petal etc.

Yeah, I won that one.

Had you cast yawgmoth's will in your life prior to that event?
Usually Yawgmoth's Will either equals Winning that turn (Long), or bringing back Lotus, Ancestral, Time Walk, Demonic, Mind Twist, and some other Misc. good cards.\n\n

[Comrade Seraph]

*shrug*, I recognize the broken nature of will, but I don't have the lotus and walk to make it truly ridiculous. I just find it amusing that balance should be evening out the board with the minor proviso that I'd be replaying all my good stuff afterwards.

[BrokenDeck]

My coolest play ever.... that would be the time I was playing against mountain_goat.dec, and cast control magic on the mountain goat, for savage twenty turn unblockable beating!

[xaos]

most fun win was not too long ago... playing gay/r with at least 2 MD stifle against some harsh goblin sharpshooter sligh-thing.  we're whittling each other down each turn, till hes got his combo down (the sharpshooter, a sac goblin, and enough goblins to swing/ping me to my doom).  he goes off during his turn, taking me down to 1, sacking the sledder(or whatever the hell that +1/+1 guy is) to untap the 'shooter, and luckily stifle saved my ass... next turn i flew in for the kill   since then ive discovered the all-match merits for MD stifle

[Tasmaniac]

Don't have any T1 players in my state, so I have to contend myself with T2.

Scourge Prerelease, game 3 of round 6, I first-turn drop a face-up Frontline Strategist.  My opponent laughs, and says
"What are you going to do with that thing?"
I shrug innocently.
Over the next twenty turns I counter and burn everything he has put on the table.  Get him down to 7, he pulls a blocker that I can't deal with....  Topdeck Searing Flesh (sb tech!) for the win.
I had him sign the card, it is now sitting on my dresser.

[Josti]

well.. Playing with a funny sneak attack deck and making a second turn kill  

1st turn: Drop Taiga-->Drop Orcis lumberjack
2nd turn: Drop Another Taiga-->Tapping both Taiga's-->Saccing one to lumberjack for RRR-->RRRRR Floating-->Casting a sneak attack-->Sneaking a serra avatar-->Killing the opponent with the less defence.

His drop was: Mountain-->Ivory tower. I was happy to begin that game

Quote First turn utter hand rapage=Swamp+Ritual+Ritual+YawgWin+Ritual+Ritual+Mind Twist.

This isn't quite that impressive.

You spent 5 cards (Swamp + 2 Rituals + Will + Mind Twist), to Twist away 5 cards from your opponent's hand. This is leaving you with a swamp in play and 2 cards in hand, whereas your opponent also has 2 cards and will draw one.

[cssamerican]

This was before Long.dec got popular, and no one knew what it was. I had beaten both of my friends with it repeatedly that day in one on one games, so they decided to play a 3 man chaos multi-player game. I thought for sure I was gonna be screwed, but I won 7 games in a row killing both of my opponents on the same turn in each game. They banned the deck from multiplayer games in our playgroup. And I relized how powerful Long.dec was even though I still say I had a lot of luck on my side that day, it was as if the cards always fell right...R.I.P.

I played a Gilded Drake and took his Platium Angel

But it IS funny, how would you like it if your hand would be milled out in de first turn, when you arent able to do a thing about it. it would be funnier when the other 2 cards would be a ritual and a negator. then you can call it game...

It might have been Ritual and Negator, but unlikely. I am willing to bet that there's at least one more land in there (and maybe a Shade), giving the laws of probability.

Of course, the other dude could hold mountain, Lightning Bolt, at which point, it would get EVEN funnier if the first player had ritualed out that Negator.

[Nastaboi]

I would've went just Ritual-Ritual-Twist, Twisting for four and leaving that Will for later use. Razvan, I thought that Mind Twist discard is random, so it's not so easy to keep specific cards.

[Razvan]

It is random. When I said hold, I meant randomly leave behind kind-of thing.

Yes, wasting the Will for 1 more card is not great. Duress trading for 1 card is good, Will is bad.

T1: Playing old school academy vs. Hulk Smash. He drops a sided in pernicious deed and pops it for 2. Destroys my mana base. I have yawgmoth's will in hand, topdeck a black lotus. I emptied my graveyard and even regrowthed the FoW. Killed him next turn.

T2: Opponent is playing U/W control, me UBR affinity. He drops an akroma, I mana leak it since he is tapped out. My turn I drop a lodestone myr. His turn he drops another akroma and has a plains untapped. I trample over akroma for the win.

Or Biorythm when my opponent had one creature and I then attacked with my three elves

I created a fun janky combo deck for a tournament.  It only went off once, but it was fun watching it go off.  The combo was: Donate + Chains of Mephistopheles + Spiritual Focus.  I laid the Chains down, Donated it to my opponent, and laid the Focus.  

Chains states that when you would draw a card, you must instead discard a card and THEN draw.

Spiritual Focus states that if a spell or effect an opponent controls causes you to discard a card, you gain 2 life and may draw a card.

So: the Chains is a replacement effect that replaces the act of drawing a card, and the Focus is an activated ability.  All I have to do is: give the Chains to my opponent and then make myself draw a card.  This triggers Chains, so I discard first.  Then I can activate the Focus in response to discarding a card and draw a card, which triggers Chains again.

I initiated a draw on myself with an Ancestral Recall and proceeded to loop through my own library, playing spells for other combos (i.e. Fastbond, Zuran Orb, Timetwister).  As long as I could keep myself drawing cards, I could generate as much mana and cast all the spells I liked - I could fetch any card in my deck at any time, assuming I could start a draw first.

It's a deck I'd love to tune up for more competitive fun, but considering all the pieces I'd need for it, it's probably not worth it.

My best play was definately playing a jankie krosan restorer + pemmins aura deck against TnT. I had out a bunch of land and 2 krosan restorers without summoning sickness. I had 2 pemmins aura and a win condition in hand and 5 cards in my graveyard.
That would be good normally, but the TnT player had out a bunch of creatures and  was going to win next turn. I played a pemmins aura on one of my krosan restorers and attacked without giving flying. He blocked it with juggernaut and it died, giving me threshold. I then played the second pemmins aura on the other restorer and won that turn

[Abeyance]

back when i was a noob i had a mono blue permission deck, and my friend was playing his fun but surprisingly dangerous spreading plague deck.

He had a spreading plague out and i had an ertai, wizard adept in play, which still had summoning sickness. On his turn he cast a vodalian zombie, in response, i boomeranged my ertai, he undermine'd my boomerang, and then i deflected his undermine, back to his vodalian zombie.

In the end, my ertai came back to my hand, and he undermine'd his own zombie.

[fuzzedball]

I dont care about the will, the game was pretty much over at that point. It looked impressive at least.
