I was telling this one to Detwiler just the other day.
Extended Single Elimination Tourney out on Long Island for a Lotus run by Arnold Knopf.
I'm in the finals.
Game 3.
Me:Land
Him: Land
Me: Land. Quirion Dryad.
Him: Land
Me: Land. Quirion Dryad. Attack for 1.
Him: Land. Shadowmage Infilatrator. In response, I brainstorm(Dryads are 2/2). Force his Shadowmage. (Dryads are 3/3)
Me: Land #4. Float 4. Gush. (Dryads are 4/4). Gush. (Dryads are 5/5). Armageddon. (Dryads are 6/6). Attack for 12.
Him: Draw and extend the hand.
And I win a Lotus.

I don't get it.. He pitched 7 cards to make Wild Mongrel 9/9, tapped two lands to copy Mongrel's power with Riptide Mangler, and swung for 18 to end the game on turn 4. |

Me: Painter, Grind you out.
Him: Use Academy Ruins to put my own Grindstone you didn't know I was packing on top of my library, draw it for the turn, grind you out in response.
Me: Le whoops!
I had a similar experience to this where I was playing painter and activated vs opponent. He uses his active welder toget back crucible...draws a shuffled colossus for turn, then proceeds to drop ruins and weld a mox per turn for the rest of the game to mindslaver me and use my own grindstone to kill me... |

Oh, bear with me here, this was a play when my friends and I used to draft my junk rare Cube a long while back. All bad, but all a little playable. My opponent has a Pygmy Allosaurus http://magiccards.info/ia/en/145.html in play and I have swamps. 2 per turn is dealable. He then smacks a Mythic Proportions on it http://magiccards.info/query?q=mythic+pro&v=card&s=cname, making it a 10/10 unblockable killing machine. I get hit for 10, then I topdeck Circle of Solace http://magiccards.info/on/en/13.html and slam it yelling "Circle of Protection Dinosaurs". We checked afterwards, Pygmy Allosaurus was the ONLY dinosaur in Magic before it became a Lizard after creature type changes. |

I once won with a City of Brass trigger on the stack by going off with Dragon, then targeting Eternal Witness getting back Echoing Truth and bouncing the Necromancy, then in response to Necromancy's "Eternal Witness dies" trigger tapping the City for Black (it was my only black source and I was at one) and responding to THAT trigger by Necromancy on Dragon and going off with the Witness in play, allowing me to return Ancestral a million times and mill my opponent out (I had a Mox Sapphire).
My favorite general play is responding to a threat with a good Instant like Ancestral or Gifts, hoping that they Force it, and then Misdirecting their Force to their original spell. Only pulled that one off a few times. It can also kinda be done with Mindbreak Trap, where if they've already played a spell, then a threat, you can try to bait a counter and Trap both the threat and the counter.
The most ridiculous story done against me: My Dredge opponent mulls to one in game one, and it isn't a Bazaar. I second turn assemble Painter/Grindstone, and go for it. He was randomly playing one maindeck Darksteel Colossus and dumped his whole deck into the bin, and got the DSC back as his library. What's worse, for some reason he couldn't figure out to kill me in one turn, so he even had to Cabal Therapy himself and draw DSC the next turn too, but his other three Therapies made sure I couldn't take advantage of the extra turn he gave me. At least now when my random FNM opponent complains about having to mull to five I can tell them that I once lost a game where my opponent mulled to one and I put the kill on board turn 2.

He didn't know what it does, so here again, I explained it and I obtained the same disdain look from him and his aggrement to go. Then I said "I do infinite mana, OK?" and he was O_O "wtf?" He asked me to come back, wanting to counter the Rings because he didn't see the manas coming, which I of course declined, having a Sensei's top and a Staff on hand to win the game. Why exactly didn't he simply counter Staff? Because a top+Rings+infinite mana allows you to draw your entire deck as well. |

My most recent one, from a game of Mental Magic where we shared a deck: Opponent: Painter's Servant, Grindstone, mill the deck, go. Me: Upkeep, Krosan Reclamation, shuffle random card back in deck, draw it, go. And another one: Me: EOT Mana Short you. My turn, cast Lord of Extinction, Lightning Greaves, equip. At which point I realize the Lord does not have trample, my opponent has chump-blockers for days, and I have no other creatures to ship the Greaves to for a targeted solution. Once again the   mana cost saves me! Primal Rage FTW! |

I can't remember the specific match, but Resolving Honor the Fallen against a newish dredge opponent that went all-in too fast. This happened some time shortly after Dredge first appeared, when people were still running Ashen Ghoul and Nether Spirit . . . the good ole days.

From a Zendikar pre-release:
It's Round 1, game 3. My opponent puts Celestial Mantle on a creature I can't block and attacks me, doubling his life total from 13 to 26.
Meanwhile I have a Bloodchief Ascension with three counters on it. I'm in deep trouble unless I draw my one out... Archive Trap!
I proceed to lose the next three matches, so I guess my deck was pretty terrible after all. But that one win made it all worth it.

Years ago, shortly after Invasion, I was watching a game between 5 color control (Keeper, or w/e) and a R/B dragon deck built to just make tons of mana, pump out dragons and do other random big red/black spell things.
So the 5cc deck has all his jewlery out, a handful of cards, w/e his critter was (Morphling?) and was just dominating. The B/R player taps a bunch of artifacts, and lands, and casts Obliterate. The control player drains the obliterate, confusing the crap out of his opponent. They both swipe the board, then during the next mainphase of the 5cc player, he drops an island, casts stroke of genious for 6 off the drained obliterate, drops lotus, and cast y will. gg. Draining an uncounterable spell just for the mana. Tech

My favorite Type 4 plays: A friend who didn't quite understand the politics of mulitiplayer attacked everyone with one Living Hive token each one game instead of swinging everything at one player. We explained to him that's not how you play Type 4, but he insisted on playing his way. So the next game during the first player's upkeep, someone Urza's Rage'd him and I hit him with a Searing Wind. This one reminded me of a multiplayer game I was in way way back... One guy is running something along the lines of sui-black (yeah, I know). I'm running a random dragon themed reanimator pile. Suiblack dude lands and quick Negator, and land an early Kilnmouth Dragon, amplified once or twice. Nobody else really has anything past a 2 drop. Suiblack guy groans, and I tell him it's cool, don't start nothin' won't be nothin'. I ship the turn and when it gets to him, he untaps, draws, makes his drop for the turn and eyeballs the dragon. I warn him not to do it and repeat myself. He stares a bit longer, then shakes his head and says something about how he can't just leave it there, then Edicts me. I Fling the dragon at Negator, wipe his board, the entire table busts up, and everyone reminds him don't start no shit, won't be no shit. |

Because a top+Rings+infinite mana allows you to draw your entire deck as well.

All time favorite magic play? No contest: Oh, there was a thread about that a while back. It actually happened apparently, and it's actually a 'legal' play (in terms of Unhinged, that is). It was at an Unhinged prerelease event. This one guy played a Booster Tutor:Open a sealed Magic booster pack, reveal the cards, and put one of those cards into your hand. (Remove that card from your deck before beginning a new game.) He opened (possibly bought, I'm not sure) a Torment booster which cotained in its rare slot a Radiate:Choose target instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single permanent or player. For each other permanent or player that spell could target, put a copy of the spell onto the stack. Each copy targets a different one of those permanents and players. He put it in his hand, and proceeded to play the Ass Whuppin' he had drafted: Destroy target silver-bordered permanent in any game you can see from your seat. He then succesfully resolved his Radiate, choosing the Ass Whuppin'. The upshot of all this was that he pretty much cleared the board of every single player in the store. Once again, for emphasis: The upshot of all this was that he pretty much cleared the board of every single player in the store.

Last years TMD Open in Waterbury. Its round 4 or 5 cant remember which playing against dredge with a remora vault key deck I brought. Little do you know I packed no SB hate for Dredge hoping to avoid it or maybe only lose once to it on the way.
Game 1
Him: Bazaar
Me: Land Crypt Tinker for Inkwell
Him Bazaar tricks
Me: Copy Artifact making myself a 2nd Inkwell, swing with the first.
Him: More Bazaar Tricks
Me: Swing with 2 Inkwells for the Win
Game 2: I dont SB as I have non and Lose to a horde of Zombies
Game 3: I still have no SB
Me: Land, Mox, Crypt Tinker for Inkwell : )
Him: Bazaar and Bazaar Tricks
Me: Copy Artifact make myself a 2nd Inkwell again : ) and Swing
Him: Bazaar Tricks and : (
Me Swing for the win vs dredge with 0 SB Slots for the Matchup
Epic!

Me playing 2-Land Belcher against FCG, around 3 years ago:
Game 3 - Opponent goes first, plays a Lackey then passes the turn. I go: Land Grant, looking for and playing Bayou, Dark Rit, LED, Demonic Tutor, sacrificing LED in response, then tutor for YWill, replaying everything then tutoring Tendrils. GG.
Multiplayer Commander, around last year (I think):
I Mindslaver my opponent, making him attack another player, then making him commit suicide by having him play Necropotence and paying all his life.

Vintage: both of us had Merchant Scrolled to find Ancestral. But I passed the turn with a few mana up not casting mine.
He untaps with two lands, a sapphire and 4 cards in hand after he draws. He cast his Ancestral Recall, I flash back Ancient Grudge on his Sapphire, he casts Hurkels Recall to bounce his Sapphire, I cast Ancestral in response, he Forces. I Mindbreak Trap targeting his force and both of his recalls.
He losses 4 cards and a mox, I go up 1 card in hand.

So many. Here's one that I've pulled off multiple times.
He Ancestrals targeting himself
I respond with Ancestral targeting me
He casts Misdirection targeting my Ancestral
I cast Misdirection targeting his Misdirection
For those who are not familiar, this is much worse than it looks. Misdirection isn't just a counterspell here. I change the target of his Misdirection to his Ancestral Recall. When his Misdirection resolves, he then has to change the target of his Ancestral Recall. I'm the only other legal target, so I draw 6 cards, and he literally quits Magic.
This thread is exactly what this forum should focus on. This is a positive, informative expression of the format we all love. We need much more of this, and much less negativity.

At a Waterbury I once had an opponent concede games 2 and 3 to me after he had removed all of my win conditions with Jester's Cap in both games. I resolved a big Yawgmoth's Will and he conceded both times assuming I had the win in hand.
