I was watching a game at GP Chicago and one guy was stuck on one mana.
His opponent tried to wasteland his only land an underground sea. The player then tapped for blue cast brainstorm and dazed it returnig the land to his hand. The other guy then spell snared the daze. The guy shrugged confused and said "Thanks?"

This is probably one of the funniest things I have ever read (about Magic).

I was watching a friend of mine play TPS. He actually opens the nut draw, it was something like ritual, ritual, DT, Sea, Fetch, Lotus, Duress.
He proceeds to play ritual, ritual, Dt for Necropotence, plays it, draws like 12, and passes.
Luckily he won next turn. It was just funny to see that kind of play, instead of winning the game.

A friend of mine was playing at the limited PTQ in boston and went 7 and 2.  Good enough for him to day 2.  Except he filled out his last match slip wrong, ended up doing 6 and 3 in the record books, and didn't day 2

I think i have one of the worst:

Playing GWSx (me) vs Tezzeret (opp):
I just duressed my opponent's hand and knew his complete gamesituation which include a yawg will in his hand and a engineered explosives in his graveyard.
I builded up my complete stormcount (lethal with tendrills) and then ended up casting the empty the warrens instead of the tendrils i was also holding in my hand. Luckily it was a good friend of mine and he keeps on reminding me of that play every week Smile

I once had a friend cast Yawg Will, it got countered. Then my friend cast Duress.

If only he cast Duress first........

Not a vintage play but probably the worst play I have ever witnessed.

First Turn...

Swamp - Dark Ritual - Vampire Bats - Burn for 2 - Go.

The same player later became a quite good magic player and won 1 grand prix and finished second in another ^ ^

As for my worst mistake....

I was playing suicide black back in the tempest T2 era. I was playing vs Steel Blue. It was fairly late in the game and my opponent (the same gentleman from above) had only an island and a quicksand untapped. I had 4 swamps untapped with dark ritual and kaerveks spite in hand with my oppnent at 4 life. I knew he was on mana leak so I just needed 2 ritual and I would have the 3 mana for the leak. unfortunately I failed 2 put all 6 mana in my pool before I cast my game winner (meaning those extra 3 swamps would be in my grave before I could tap them). Fortunately my opponent failed 2 realize my mistake and said "you're so lucky you have the 3 mana to pay" and moved on to game 2.  This was a top 8 match btw Razz

I once had a game locked down with a platinum angel but my opponent had a couple of mindcensors and like ten other creatures out so I couldn't beat down with it.  I was at like -50 life or something.  Finally I drew a warrens and so I wanted to build up a bunch of storm.  So I cast rebuild....
