you did that ....................really?

[mr.grim]

i love type one. so much can happen .you can win when you should lose, and lose a game you already won. with that said i got a good gem for everyone.............
me : playing fish
opp: playing ad nausem
  all and all a good game,till........
i play c.o.t.v for zero .and that was the last card in my hand.
he has a full hand and three lands in play ...... his grave yard has a fetch ,lotus,2 rits, ad nausem , chain of vapor,cab. rit,vamp,recall.
his turn: rit ,dem, will. goes to lay the lotus and yells FUCK!!!!!! then scoops.
as he is shuffling his cards together i look at him and say, you know you could of just cracked your fetch and chained my chalice.
once again he responded with ....FUCK!!!!!!!

[Sporkcore]

Back when Gifts was still big, I remember playing against it at a tournament with Ichorid. I start off with turn 0 Layline, early in the game he goes for a gifts for Recoup, Will, Tinker and Walk. I give him the Will and Recoup and then point to the Layline. He scooped after seeing that.

[Vale_psionic]

Me: Volcanic, Mox, Welder, Go
Opponent: Island, Crypt, Tinker -----> Colossus
Me: OK!
Opponent: Can I counter my Tinker?

[rkmancer]

Opponent : his bob reveal 'tinker' and waiting for artifact to be sacrificed
Me : afraid so much for that 'tinker' and then cast demonic tutor to find duress
Me again : cast duress, and my opponent remind me that I already set one counter for my own Chalice of the Void. .

[punki]

Best I ever saw:

I cast something and my opponent wants to cast Y'will in response to play a fow from his graveyard to counter my spell.

[policehq]

This is turning into a bad MWS funnies thread. It was funnier when people were admitting to their own mistakes.

[mr.grim]

Well after getting busted by the police lol ,i do agree. with that said .................... Mistakes happen ,this we all know this from meandeck to that new guy who played a type 2deck at the last vintage tourney.
 A great misplay i made...........
I make it to a top eight 4-1-1. In the first round of the top 8 i play my only loss for the day. he wins one ,i win one. I'm playing oath and he is playing welder. I mull to six and then get ,swamp rit,rit,leyline of the void. I'm like cool and lay a land ....oops what leyline shit.. then my turn goes rit,rit duress then lay the void.pass turn and i lose.

so with that .....what about you policehq?

Me versus Paul Mastriano, Oct. 15, 2006

His board has an Island, a Volcanic Island, and a Mox Ruby, and I know his hand has a Force of Will, a Wipe away, and a mystery card. He Scrolls for Mystical Tutor and tutors next turn for Tinker. My board has Wasteland, plenty of mana, two Null Rods (to protect from Wipe Away), and a Ninja. On my turn, the one after the Mystical Tutor, I neglect to Wasteland his Volcano to keep him off Tinker mana next turn. He Tinkers for the big man.

My next turn I draw Diabolic Edict. Wow, that’s really good. It would be if I didn’t know he had a Force of Will in hand, anyway. So I have to sit on it. My Ninja stays home. Next turn he attacks and I eat it, going to 7. My hand has a Force of Will and the Edict, so I’m in okay shape. I have five mana in play. I’ll get the draw for my turn and the Ninja draw; that’s two draws to find any blue card, especially bounce, Duress, or another Edict. I draw Polluted Delta for my turn and an Island off the Ninja.

He swings next turn and I Edict him, which he Forces. I lose.

Here's a good one too, from Becker's tournament in April 2007.

Mike and I were already well aware that neither of us is playing for a spot in the top eight this point, but neither of us really cared. He also clued me in that he was playing Ichorid, but I chose not to heed his warning.

As such, I kept this hand in game one:

Island
Underground Sea
Flooded Strand
Ancestral Recall
Flooded Strand
Mox Sapphire
Polluted Delta

And I immediately conceded in response to Unmask.

[Pitlord]

My worst play ever was probably the final game of the finals at an event we had already split. We agreed to split the prize, and play for the title and the extra $5 since the split wasn't perfectly even.

It's game 3, I'm playing stax against slaver on the draw, he mulls to six, and I draw Lotus, Shop, Rack and Ruin, Trinisphere, Triskelion, a CoB, and some other card. He plays a seat of the synod, then a sol ring, and says go. Since this is on the worst plays thread, I bet you can guess where there is going... I draw, play my shop and lotus, and tap out for... Triskelion. Yeah. Next turn he gets drain mana, starts countering anything I try to play, and resolve a huge yawg will on like turn 4 after time walking. Man do I suck.

[Nefarias]

This happened to me in Shandalar today (Yeah, I still play that :-p). I had to share, and this seemed like the perfect place. I think Vintage players would appreciate this one.



P.S.: For people unfamiliar, the opponent is at the top of the screen and you're on the bottom.

[zeus-online]

I'm pretty sure shandalar dosn't count, i've seen the AI target my creatures with giant growth enough times that i don't think it counts

[Qube]

one thing was very funny some years ago.

i was finished a match and look around on table left. i saw this (game 2)

Player1: Land Sol Ring, go
P2: something
P1: lay down another land, play some draw, play Sol Ring #2.
P2 & and all around: WTF? you can't play a second Sol Ring, it's restricted... lol
P1: sure? since when? (showed up his deck with 4 Sol Ring)

Shit happens...


A fault of me not long ago

I play BUG Fish against a welder.dec:

He had a Platinum Angel and 4 blue mana open and 3 cards on hand. i hold a trygon Predator & 2 Krosan Grip & FOW with blue card on hand. Yea my turn. 3 mana open... i played Predator (don't ask me why i done this!!!was druken...) because i thought i've time and it stop him because he has also 3 mox in play. he cast mana drain, i think allright i had a FOW and counter. he played the second drain with 1 card on hand... i cant do anything and trygon is countered. ok his turn. 8 mana from drain... uhm play a Sundering and blow my lands away. after this i saw he's under 0 life... OMG fizzle

Peace

[Prospero]

Me:  Chalice of the Void on one?
Opponent:  Resolves
Me:  Pass turn
Opponent:  Cast Crop Rotation, sacrificing City of Brass?

[Isaac85]

Two things come to my mind. He has a seal of proclamation on the table I have oath and pithing needle in hand and play oath and loose and the other is playing against a tendrils deck and thinking stifle on a naught is a good play. He wins lol.

[TD]

Sitting in Game 2 of the Finals in day 2 of the last SCG (virginia). Im up 1-0 on the match against Brian Demars. He has lethal dryads on the table with a single card in hand. I EOT extirpate something and see he has REB in hand. On my turn I have duress, Gush, and a couple useless cards. I throw gush down. He REBs. I lose. Yawg's Will was in the Top 2 cards when I looked, and I have a stacked yard that would win easily. I go on to lose G3 and the tournament. Worst/dumbest play I've ever made.

[Bone]

Played game 2 against an Oath player once. I was going first and the game was like:

Me turn 1: Mountain, Kird Ape go

Him turn 1: Mox, Tropical Island, Oath go

Me turn 2: Savannah, Ronom Unicorn (he counters with Pact of Negation)

Him turn 2: Oath triggers and then he digs into a... Spirit of the Night

[mr.grim]

so how did he pay for the pact?

[Relwarbeht]

I think the point is that he didn't.  The idea of playing Pact in oath would be that your going to oath up platnium angel, so it would be a major oversight (misplay, hence the reply in this thread) to play Spirit of the Night.

True. Game 2 and he sure did something wrong when sideboarding. His plan was Platinum Angel but never got so far...

[overseer1234]

Last weekend in the semi finals I was playing BUG-Fish, and were in game 3

he has a juggernaut and I have a Goyf (not big enough to block yet).

He attacks and I slaughter pact (I have lotus and 3 lands but anyway enough to pay it on the upkeep) with negate in hand.

He calls for the judge because he believes it couldn't target artifact creature's (more like terror) (it was a proxy tournament).

The judge says it can kill artifact creature's and we go on with the game.

I untap, draw and smack my head against the table....

[Xyre]

I have played Yawgmoth's Win with GAT and failed to win that turn (because I forgot to Duress him and had to spend too much mana to undo the mistake)... in the finals.

[honestabe]

Its a tie between forgetting to pay for a Slaughter Pact, and passing a flameblast dragon in draft

[Nomakh]

I make a bunch of bad moves pretty much every game.  My most memorial bad however was done by an opponent at Gen-Con.
Back in '97 (I think) at the vintage tournament, I was playing a very very simple deck based on Juggernauts and Juzams with Disks to clear things up.

I had dropped a quick juzam on the board and had him down to low life. 

He dropped a moat.

I lost some life and dropped a disk.

Instead of disenchanting my disk he decided to tap out playing a second moat.

*doh* 

[dawgie]

I came from an all night drinking spree with friends and I played Bomberman. I wasn't drunk but I really lacked sleep.

I had a 3-2 finish. I won games by playing Chalice for 1 and Chalice for 2. Then I beated down with Trinket Mages and Auriok Salvagers. When the top 8 was ongoing and I was waiting for my teammate, I fell asleep while watching the match. LOL

Please try to make posts that are in some way related to the thread topic.  -DA

[WTGeoff]

My opponent(someone I play against very often) was playing CS and I was playing TPS for one of the first times.

He's got a Viashino Heretic on the table and has 1 Volc and a Mox untapped. Last turn I Necropotence'd into some pieces but not enough to storm it and find a Tendrils, and Tinker. I go for the Tinkolossus at 10 life without reading heretic and proceed to eat it.

[Mantis]

Overseer1234, I'm still sorry about that man. I am still debating whether or not I should have been a gentleman and just let you reverse it or we should have played it out. Anyway, that is not going to help you, hopefully we meet again some time and you can take your revenge .

That's hardly a mistake IMO, depending on the number of life and stuff you had on board it might have actually been the right play to do that. I mean 2 Drains and something to use it on... Yeah nice. It happens, it's a bad beat story but you didn't misplay that at all, unless you have lethal on the board or you are at 4 life or something.

Me:  Chalice of the Void on one?
Opponent:  Resolves
Me:  Pass turn
Opponent:  Cast Crop Rotation, sacrificing City of Brass?

That one is hilarious, not only do you lose a card but you also just sacrificed your first turn land.

[UnholyAlliance]

When your opponent TRIED to blow up your Colossus, you should have laughed and beat his face in for 11. Darksteel Colossus is indestructible.

Upon closer inspection of the wording on the card, I see how this works. Wow, Heretic is a badass. I thought the artifact needed to be destroyed for damage to be dealt. My bad, guess I would have made the same mistake.

[Ophidian]

My opponent was playing high tide and I was playing burn. Well he gets 100 or so mana and he taps all my land and I add the mana to my pool. So he declares his attack phase thinking that way my pool empties and I can't pyroblast his stroke. He forgot about his 100+ mana and mana burns to death.
