Man I was drunk. Or tired. Yeah, tired.
By Freddie Williams II (Freddie) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:25 am: I was in a type 1 tournament and my opponent was playing pox, w/sideboarded Phyrexian Negators, against my blue black control.
My opponent had an opening hand of swamp+ dark ritual+ phyrexian Negator! plus 4 random cards.
I had no force of will, so it resolved.
I went second drawing a black lotus, so I lay an Island, mox jet, cast solring (with mox), cast black lotus sac the lotus + the solring to mind twist my opponent for 4, then ancestralled me, then passed the turn.
My opponent did NOT draw a land, and attacked with the negator, so i was at 15, he passed the turn
I untapped droped a land, and a mox sapphire, cast morphling, he attacks and I block pumping the morphling, to make him sac every permanent he controlls (killing my morphling).
At that point it looked like I was playing combo, because he had nothing on the board, and i had 2 moxes, 2 lands, a solring, and 2 turns later I cast another morphling.
The game ended shortly there after.

By Freddie Williams II (Freddie) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:36 am: Although I was on the recieving end of this crazy play, This was worth the mention:
This was in fact the most humiliating defeat I have ever expierienced in compeditive tournament magic play.
I was playing in a local T1 tournament, using a trusty keeper variant, playing against Kevin Hunt, the best magic player I have ever met, and a local magic legend, who was playing a mono blue BBS variant.
This was the second game of the match.
With Kevin sporting 7 cards in hand, and me having just drawn my 8th, I decided to just push a morphling into play, instead of discarding.
I cast a morphling, with 5 blue sources open + 1 off color mox. On the stack, of the Morphling, Kevin casts a Mana short (not to counter the morphling, just to make his counter war an easy one with me tapped out).
I misunderstood the effect that mana short had, and thought that if I tapped all of my lands I could just let the mana float through the resolution of the mana short, and counter any other spells he put onto that stack.
Kevin explained to me that the mana would be emptied, and that he would allow me to backup if I wanted to (since I misunderstood the meaning of the card). But i declined, I don't allow my opponents to do it (back up), so I didn't want to present a double standard.
So with all my lands tapped (5 blue in my pool), I mana drained his mana short, he drained, I drained, he countered, I forced, he forced, I misdirected the force, and morphling resolved. I still had 1 blue floating, and pumped it into the morphling to make him untargetable until the end of turn (at this point I was all tapped out on blue mana).
We each had a single card in hand, and I thought that I pretty much had the game, since he had no real way of dealing with an already in play morphling (and the look on his face told me that he thought the same thing).
Kevin untaps, draws an impulse, casts it, and while looking at the 4 cards blinks widely. He takes a card into hand, and taps 2 colorless, and 2 blue, then slapps a CONTROL MAGIC on my Morphling!!!!!
I just about fell out of my seat. "What on earth is that doing in there?" I asked.
Kevin shruged and said, "Since you played black in there, I just gambeled that you would bring in Negators from the sideboard".
I just couldn't believe the utter insanity of what just occured!
Since I had taken City of Brass damage ealier in the game, and me burning like crazy from mana drain mana, on the following turn, Kevin's "stolen" Morphling gave me 3 turns to find an answer. Needless to say I couldn't.
I guess I needed to have read that mana short. I would have won.
Thanks.

By Serra (Serra) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:54 am: most of these occured around the time of Ice Age, so probably arent as interesting with today's card base, but at the time were cool
ill start with a deck in general, it was based on Verduran Enchantress (did i spell that right) and had enchantments and regrowth and every deck, library, grave manipulation card you can think of at the time...his turns would last 5 minutes each because he kept moving cards from one zone to another...he played it in a multiplayer game and actually won in the end, me being the last man standing to fight him...i cant remember how he did it
not really wacky, but funny...4-way game, i was playing with Lhurgoyfs...had one out that was 20/21...someone Plowed it...woo hoo life...then I got another one out, and it got Plowed again...woo hoo, more life.
playing pente (5-way multi, each deck a different mono color, with no artifacts and seated in the order of the dots on the back of the card...win by killing yer two opposing colored players (across from you))...anyway, the white player had a Blessinged, Farrel's Mantled, Spirit Linked Serra Angel..."let's see, I'll attack the red player, he has no fliers so can't block me, and I'll choose (with Mantle) to do 6 damage, no wait *pumps 4 mana into Blessing*... 10 damage to the blue player's merfolk, killing it and I gain 10 life."
hmm, multiplayer games seem to have the wackiest stuff happen, huh?
one last one, not wacky, but fun...at a shop 3-on-3...with about 10 others watching as the losers had to move so 3 new people could sit and play...we were losing, so I Jokulhaupsed for a fresh start...just plain cool
ok, one more...single player, again, not wacky, just cool...my friend was playing his Serra Avatar deck, and I'm hating life (at least it looked that way on the board) and he finally gets the bad boy out, which "looked" bad for me, til I Confiscated it on the next turn
By WestWycke, the Lexicologist (Westwycke) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 10:41 am: In a four-player game, one of the players cast a 6 point Hurricane, intending to clear out the 15 or so flyers everyone else had on the board. He left me no choice but to cast Reflect Damage and send all the damage(over 100 points) right back at him
By Freddie Williams II (Freddie) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 11:03 am: In a multiplayer game my friend jerry moon put a soul link on an opponents plauge spitter, with over 13 creatures out on the table, jerry not only negated the 1 damage a turn that he was supposd to take, he gained 14 a turn!
at that most excellent oppertunity, noone could draw a creature removal spell, and all attacks were rendered usless to jerry by his moat and a maze of ith.
we all started mana burning ourselves, just so that the game would end!!

By Phyrexian Raper on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 03:11 pm: I once played Demonic Consultation on a card my opponent had removed from the game (with Rootwater Thief)
By NZA on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 03:50 pm: This happened to my friend. He was playing in 1.5 tourney vs a Sneak Attack Deck. He went first and played a plains and said go. Opponent casted a sandstone needle and said go. My friend played another plains then said go. Opponent played swamp, tapped sandstone for 2 red, dark ritualled off the swamp and cast Sneak with 1 red floating. He uses the mana to sneak in a Serra Avatar. He then said "Attack, you die." My friend smiled, said "Oh no, now what do I do" Then tapped his plains for Eye for an Eye. The store owner was watching the whole thing and couldnt stop laughing for a long time.
By Molot, Dark-Elf Timelord on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:01 pm: I once Ring of Meruffed for the Ace of Spades from the trusty deck of playing cards with the MTG backings and put it into play with a Eureka, which would have made everyone laugh uncontrollably for hours had the other cards in my hand not been Chromium, Nicol Bolas, and Johan.
or one time I Animate Artifacted a Black Vise and hid it in a Safe Haven during a Shatterstorm.
also an unlikely combo of Justice, Chaos Lase Donate and Lightning Bolt. With Justice in play you Donate/Chaos Lace it and Bolt something. Infinate damage baby.
the coolest thing I every pulled off was way back in the day, with an opening hand of: Black Lotus, Mox Ruby, Tundra, 2 Black Vice, Ancestral Recall, and Lightning Bolt, I draw a Black Vice, play Lotus/Mox/Land cast 3 Vice and Ancestral my opp. the rest is self explanitory
By scrub on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:54 pm: during a sealed deck tourney my oppenent had a couple of fatties on the board and was beating me down on the last 3 turns i have been chump blocking and letting my creatures die on my oppents turn he say since i will win next turn i might as well do it big he cast 4 creatures out and i play desolation giant and thick elemental netting me a 2 2.i was on 1 life when i cast it and he was at 20 needless to say i won
By GDarius on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:15 pm: I'm playing a fairly janky keeper variant in a fairly casual game. My opponent is playing Stompy.
Turn 1: Him - Forest, 3/3 elephant dude for G, removes a Spirit Guide for Rancor.
You'd think that would be almost game, but
Me - Lotus, City of Brass, Sol Ring, Mox Ruby, sac the lotus for BBB, Yawgmoth's Bargain. I then bargain for 5, getting a ZOrb and a Morphling(that I just show him).
The following turn, I bargain into Ivory tower and and Abyss. He concedes for some strange reason 
.
That has to have a less than 1 in 1 000 000 chance of happening. The most busted draw I ever got.
Once, in a midgame with the same deck, I sac my Lotus to Time Walk, then I regrowth and time walk again. Then, I Will. I bring back lotus and sac it again for Timewalk #3 and an ancestral that gets me a morphling, an Underground Sea and a Twist. Guess who won that one.
-GDarius
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 03:46 am: Just today I threw a Chaos Orb at someone and he conceded. It blew up two of his land (he only had three), but I only had three land myself, with nothing else on the board! Whatever happened to being a good sport? He also complained that the card was banned, that it was the "gayest"** card he'd ever seen, and that he'd never seen one before. I retorted with "Are we playing in a DCI sanctioned event?" He was playing Type 1, with no knowledge of Chaos Orb! What's the game come to?
-HengeWolf
**HengeWolf does not endorse anyone calling cards "gay". His guess is that it hurts their feelings.
By paladin_en_ass on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 10:19 am: i sworded a Ihsan's Shade ( while humility was under play )
i played a Replenish with 0 enchantments in graveyard
i had 0 cards in hand, library, regrettably 5 cards in graveyard and only a necro in play.
i was forced to use tormod's crypt on myself as a reaction to opponent casting Haunting echoes to me
and there are gay cards.. they are just gay
By Tangled (Tangled) on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:38 pm: Forgetting to sideboard out Sacromancy against Sligh. I lost two straight in the finals of a 12-16 person tournament using Suicide Balck.
By Gerrard Capashen on Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 06:08 pm: Once my friend was getting killed by a bunch of green wurms. He was at 1 life and drew a CoP:Green. Needless to say, the game got interesting after that.
By hellion, THE on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 05:20 am: In casual games I had the most fun with my dragon deck I guess..
I attacked with dromar the banisher and crosis the purger at the same time with activation costs.. Opponent was playing mono-black with hymns and duresses.
With the same deck, a dragon attacked with 2 gaea's might and all 5 basic lands in play by turn 5 in a 2-headed giant game. There was a gauntlet of might in play. (for 17 damage)
Also, watching chaos orbs being flipped is not fun or fair. Or T1..
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 01:41 pm: I've blown up my own stuff plenty of times with Chaos Orb! The other day it provoked a fit of laughter amongst at least three people, so I'd call it fun. I'm not a ninja with it anymore so I'd say it can be fair. I usually don't aim it too much, keeping with the theme of Chaos. Not to mention, throwing it in a sleeve screws up the aerodynamics! I've won a game because of it a couple of times, (I've also lost a few as well) but who cares when you're playing for fun. You get to say "I threw cards at you for the win!" Priceless . . .
Besides, it's not like I play with it all the time.
When I said a Type1 player should be familiar with it, I was making the (perhaps incorrect) assumption that most people who own old cards are familiar with old cards. It used to be a common thing (circa '95) that players in my area had a "Chaos-Orb contingency plan", one guy would put his deck in the middle of the playing field, and camp his cards around it at least one-chaos-orb-length apart. That way the Orb couldn't get more than one card. His best cards would be near the library, in hopes that the orb would land on top if it came that way. It worked! I totally understand why they banned the card, but that's no reason not to have a little fun with it! Right? . . . Right? . . . Where'd everybody go?
Chaos Orb is the coolest! Wizards, make more Throwers!

By Puschkin, Defiant Vanguard Against The Phyrexian Invasion (Puschkin) on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 05:13 pm: I once stole a Claws of Gix with Magus of the unseen from my left opponent and a False Prophet with a Ray of Command from my right opponent, sacced the Prophet via Claws for one life, nuking all creatures! All of this during my right opponent´s end of turn!
The most stupid thing I made?
I once Sleight of Minded Anarchy to white!

By Carlos on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 11:07 am: SUPER DUPER MAGIC SECRET:
2 Plague Spitter is really cool
I was playing a cheap R/B deck in a multiplayer game. On my upkeep, I had 2 Spitters, and one of my opponents was at 4 life. When the ability went off, I dealt 4 damage to all creatures and all players, killing one of my opponents and basically clearing most anything that was there.
That was fun... :D
By Zherbus (Zherbus) on Wednesday, December 19, 2001 - 06:49 am: Dumbest move: Hand has 8 cards in it, I demonic tutor for a library of alexandria. After a few minutes searching my deck, I realized I messed up on something in copying my real life deck to .dec. No library 
My favorite play was with a nethervoid deck against a BBS deck. First turn Swamp Lotus, then duress. Take Force of Will, sac lotus, cast dark ritual, hymn to tourach, hypnotic specter.
Most of the craziest plays Ive seen involved yawgmoths will or dream halls back in the day
By "Psycho" Cid (Cid) on Thursday, December 20, 2001 - 10:00 pm: There have certainly been a ton of considerably more crazy things that have happened to me, but I can only think of these, right now:
A friend and I were playing random 1.5 decks just for fun. I had an odd SuiBlack build and he was running a W/R Seismic Assault deck. I went first and went Swamp, Rit, Duress (taking an StP), Rit, Hymn (taking a Land Tax and a Plains), Rit, Juzam, and saying "Go." Having nothing but more land in his hand, we both assume he's done for. On his turn he topdecks an StP and eliminates the only threat I draw the entire game. :/
I once Balanced away the 7 card hand I had to nuke nothing more than 1 of my opponents lands. Doesn't sound quite as stupid when my opponent now lacked the mana to cast the Bargain he had just vamp tutored for in response to my Mind Twist. I won that one, comboing him out the next turn. (FYI, we were both playing insanely stupid combo decks that were originally designed by me and inspired by Negator when he was attempting to insult some random's oddball combo deck and said something to the affect of "Why don't you just build Turbo-Necroing-Illusional-Nightmarish-Donating-Recurring-Surviving-Prosperously-Blooming-Academy?"
Not counting the Duress that always seems to get me down, one of the most stupid and aggrivating things I've had done to me was having my only Mountain Confiscated in my opponents successful atttempt to prevent me from casting my Fireblast (that would finish him off). Ugh.
And, lastly, I have one that has nothing to do with me, as it was a play made my a good friend of mine, Jeff. The opponent had just attempted to cast Ancestral Recall on himself. Jeff responded with a Vampiric Tutor and then an Ancestral of his own, on himself. He drew into the Misdirection he'd just tutored for and, of coarse, deflected the opponents Ancestral towards himself for double teh fun. :D
That's all I can think of, atm. Peace
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Friday, December 21, 2001 - 03:16 am: Here's an odd bit of strangeness from my T1 tournament days, circa 1995. A friend of mine (The Dude) is watching his brother play a match for the finals. His brother is playing something incredibly restricted/oldschool against a girl with a discard/direct damage deck. During the final game, my friend successfully 'called' each and every direct damage card (w/o seeing them of course), his brother got killed, and much laughter and bitterness ensued. It looked like this:
Dude: Show me Incinerate!
Girl (on her turn): I Incinerate you.
Dude's Brother (on his turn): Damn, I'm at 8. Drew more mana!
Dude: Show me . . . Disintegrate!
Girl (on her turn): I disintegrate you for 5.
Dude's brother: WTF?
Dude (at the last second): Show me Lightning Bolt!
Girl: [shows lightning bolt for the win]
Dude's brother: [evil stare] Thanks a lot.
I laughed . . . and was a little weirded out. This guy (The Dude) was a regular machine in tournaments. Maybe he had something psychic going on. That was also the first time I'd seen a girl register for a tournament, and she won!

By Troll on Friday, December 21, 2001 - 09:07 am: I have a few crazy plays.
During a multiplayer game the other day my friend tried to cast Time Stretch twice in a game. Both times, I misdirected it to myself. I won that game BTW.
When Stronghold first came out I was playing a discard deck in a type 1 tourney. My opponent was playing ProsBloom. I was at 2 life with 3 cards in my hand. My opponent was at 11 and had 3 cards in his hand. He was tapped out with 4 lands left, and a Squandered Resources in play. We were the last 2 playing the round and it was down to the wire. During his turn, he was showing everyone his hand and laughing at me telling everyone how this match was his. It was my turn and I played the second Megrim that I just drew and double Hymned him to make him discard 4 cards. In response to the first one he sacced 4 lands to cast one of the 4 Storm Seekers in his hand, I took 1 damage putting me at 1, he discarded the other 3 and took 12 damage thus giving me the game.

also, tweak made that ancestral play, right?
heh

By Will, the Serra Avatar (Will) on Friday, December 21, 2001 - 09:20 pm: At a T1 tourney last week, I made a play I'll probably never make again. I was playing against Keeper, and I went first. I got three Dark Rituals in my opening hand (and no, I didn't stack my deck). Here was my play:
Swamp, Ritual (BBB in pool), Ritual (BBBBB in pool), Ritual (BBBBBBB in pool), Mind Twist for 6.
The victims of the Mind Twist? All 5 Moxen and a Black Lotus. All that remained in the opponent's hand was a Library of Alexandria that didn't really do much for him. He never managed to get anything he could use (i.e. land). I guess his deck wasn't built really well.
- Will, the Serra Avatar
By Prodigal Whelp on Friday, December 21, 2001 - 09:56 pm: I made the same Plague Spitter play a while back..... with Repercussion in play.
My stupidist play had to be the time I had someone at only 2 life and I didn't attack with my 2 Thorn Elementals and ended up losing the game.
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Friday, December 21, 2001 - 10:51 pm: Will: That's just weird, both of you got really unlikely draws! But what would he have done, kept them all in his hand and used the library? If anyone ever needed a Yawgmoth's Will . . .
Speaking of Repercussion, one of my friends swore he'd never use the card again after I killed him with a Crater Hellion!
-HengeWolf
By The Knight who says Neee!!! on Saturday, December 22, 2001 - 10:11 am: Well, I have a crazy play.
Once I was playing my Warped Devotion/Millstone deck (yes, Warped Devotion, I know it sucks, but it's insanely fun!!!) and my opponent finished with all 60 of his cards in his graveyard...It was fun.
By Wuvmuffin on Sunday, December 23, 2001 - 12:57 am: I was playing a bad Masques/Invasion T2 deck, based around Ashnod's altar. My opponent was playing rebels, and I was at 1 life, while he was at 20. On my turn, I sacced all my tokens for a 20 point blaze at my opponents head!
-Wuvmuffin
By Nix (Nix) on Sunday, December 23, 2001 - 01:00 am: i seem to get pretty crazy plays of y. will with keeper, and with recurring timetwister-regrowth.
By paladin on Sunday, December 23, 2001 - 01:24 am: i had one of my opponents use karn's ability to activate a lotus petal to block an attacker...hehe
i guess he didnt realized that lotus petal doesnt have a casting cast, lots of people got a kick out of that.
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Sunday, December 23, 2001 - 04:26 am: Every time I read this thread I remember another crazy thing I've seen or done. Here's another.
A long time ago in a land of magic about an hour away from my house, we were having a discussion about how Black Lotus is the most expensive card, but it's not a "kill" card. On that note, I built a deck that I only ran once, where I played Animate Artifact on the Lotus, and put Tawnos' Weaponry on it in response (so it wouldn't die, making it a 1/1). I then giant growthed it three times and Berserked it for 20 damage! The actual LOTUS, doing 20 damage. That was exactly what the deck was supposed to do, and it actually did it! I pulled it off! One person in attendence actually said that it made him feel like quitting magic, as he'd never seen anything so blatantly screwed up and wrong. I guess it didn't help that it used to be his Lotus . . . maybe he felt it was an abuse of a good card. BTW, the deck was only 40 cards . . . and I think my opponent didn't try too hard to stop it. Wouldn't it be cool if YOU could say you were killed by an animated berserked Black Lotus? That's making the high pricetag work for ya!
It's been 6 years or so since that happened, I'd almost forgot. It did in fact happen though, I mean, who would make up something so depraved?
-HengeWolf, Magic Player and Weirdness Magnet
By Umiak on Sunday, December 23, 2001 - 10:40 pm: I recall this deck I made a long time ago. I called the deck "The Game of Life" and the entire point of it was to gain large amounts of life. I used the classic Enduring Renewal-Ornithopter-Ashnod's Altar-Spring of Life combo to make it work. I was only able to get the deck to work once, and put myself to exactly 1000 life. My opponent thought about quitting, but didn't, and eventually lost because I decked him. However, by the end of the game, he had put me back down to 83 life. We still talk about how it was possible for him to drop me 917 life before the game ended. It was incredible.
By paladin on Monday, December 24, 2001 - 02:06 am: ow, this is a stupid thing that i did in the past, i had a disk in play and i played another disk...bad tech
By Henge Wolf (Wolf) on Monday, December 24, 2001 - 03:07 am: An old friend of mine once got tired of people complaining about his "cheap" combo and vise decks, so he built a little something called "The Do-Nothing deck". It gained life, redirected damage, and the most harmful things in it were the samite healers, which of course never attacked. What made it hilarious was that he played it with the same zeal and trash talking that usually accompanied his more lethal decks. It was bizarre . . .
-HengeWolf
"You won't think it's so funny when I'm gaining four life off every spell you cast!"
By Prodigal Whelp on Tuesday, December 25, 2001 - 07:43 pm: Okay, I thought y'all might get a kick out of this one...
I was at a mere 5 life. My opponent had a fairly good lead on me (37). He was playing a 'Tinker Deck' and I was playing 'Counter/Burn' at the time. During his turn, he used 'MetalWorker' to bring out 'Karn', 'Nevynral's Disk', and a whole slew of artifact madness. My turn? I played 'Reigns of Power', used 'Karn' to make the disk a creature, cast another 'Reigns of power', and activated the disk as soon as I got it. Now after all that, you'd figure that I would make some kind of miracle comeback.... yeah, one would think so.
Now while I may not have added another notch to my belt, it is a play that comes up from time to time in group conversations...
By Jarkeld on Wednesday, December 26, 2001 - 10:26 pm: I'm about to lose the game and I need a dark ritual so I can Living Death enough creatures to win.
My brother attacks me with 2 Jackal Pups and something else, putting me at 2.
I draw: Dark Ritual
I smile, thinking i win, and play living death.
he looks at me, and plays fork on my living death. next turn he kills me with his pups.
used flood on 2 erg raiders to kill my opponent...that was fun.
By wb7h on Thursday, December 27, 2001 - 02:54 am: During a casual Type one game, he was playing blue-black with finkle, and i was playing Necro. Over the 3 game match, he must have diverted my duress back to me 6 times before i relised that duress dosen't count me as an opponant. The last game he sangged my only necro
By Sssmwc, Keeper of the Funker (Sssmwc) on Saturday, December 29, 2001 - 11:45 am: During a T1 tournament my opponent rits out a first turn Negator and gets a 5rd turn Juzam. I am working Welder tricks and I am able get a Karn and a Memory Jar in play on my turn 5 also (and had one mana free). My opponent attacks so I animate my Memory Jar, block the Negator with it, block Juzam with Karn, and he frowns while he has to sac everything on the board except for one land and the juzam. Next turn I get out a Covetous Dragon that ends up doing him in w/ help from his own Juzam.

So I finally drew a War Cadence (1 red 2 Generic for a red enchantment, Pay X and 1 red: Creatures cant block this turn unless their controller pays X for each blocking creature.)
I pumped 19 mana into it and attacked with a 3/3 a 1/1 a 7/6 a 6/6 and another 6/6 a 2/2 another 1/1 and another 1/1. He payed the 19 and blocked the 7/6. None of my creatures had flying. But I still killed him. He didn't talk to me at all for the rest of the day.

But he didn't chose that pile, because he had a lot of mana, he chose the other one: Y@wgmoth's Will... Next turn he played the will, played the lotus, the dual, 2 destroyed moxen, 1 ritual, 1 Lotus petal, the juzam djinn, the morphling and had still enough mana left to refill his hand with a braingeyser (he also already played), and a A. recall...
