We all know those goldfishes/games where you just draw a boring hand and play it out, or draw the nuts and just kill him without much thought involved. But then there are those hands that probably have potential, but require some weird gymnastics to work.
This thread is for those hands, goldfish and real game alike.
Format: Any. If the deck is nonstandard or non-Legacy, try to leave a list of some sort.
This thread was inspired by the "Nauseam while Chrome Mox Imprint is on stack" comment, one example game by Smmenen where the Oath guy was was castrated and then killed over 20 turns by his own Orchard token, and this goldfish.
Format: German Highlander (100-card singleton decks without all this EDH nonsense)
Deck: Pattern-Rector (http://deckstats.net/deck-762673-5fe8a4692d32007bbb469adf7305ab45-en.html)
Deck's normal ideal MO: Manadork, go, duress, carrion feeder, go, NatOrder=>Hulk=>Win.
What happened: T3 Bargain wins (duh). It just took a "bit" of work. (mostly KotR optimization)
T1: Llanowar Wastes, Fyndhorn Elf
T2: Plains, Knight of the Reliquary
T3:
Forest, tap Forest, Elf, Plains, Wastes (1GGW).
Turn Forest into Phyrexian Tower, Sacrifice Elf to Tower (1GGBBW).
Yawgmoth's Bargain. Draw 10 cards. Life: 9.
Discard down to 7 (Discard Carrion Feeder, Starved Rusalka, Llanowar Elves, Skinrender, Birds of Paradise and Yosei, the Morning Star + random lands)
T4: Forest, tap Wastes for B (Life: 8), Inquisition of Kozilek.
Tapout (Forest=>Forest, then sacrifice Knight to Tower).
Living Death. Kill whatever opponent by freak accident might have in play, pass. On his upkeep, sacrifice Yosei (he gets tapped out, doesn't untap next turn).
T5: Untap, Overgrown Tomb. Karmic Guide for Yosei, swing for 6, pass turn, tapout opponent on his upkeep.
T6: Untap, at 8 mana, enough for Volrath's Stronghold=>Karmic Guide every turn. Opponent is locked down for all eternity. Can slowly draw cards with Bargain (Karmic to Tower, use Tower mana to pay Stronghold, gives G for Rusalka to eat Yosei=> 1 card/turn).
