What is the most Ridiculous play your opponent has made?

[jrw1985]

This happened last year in Milan:

Game 2, me with LED-Less Dredge vs Random guy with Dark Merfolks.

Turn 2 he places standstill. I still have to figure out why he did. And passes. I keep on dredging and playing under standstill without problems while he is completely unable to do anything. At a certain point of the match he begins saying "You are going too fast for me, i MUST extirpate your Grave Troll". So he did. I cracked his standstill and dredged my trolls.

The look on his face was awesome.

That's plain ol' fantastic!

I'm on the draw with ANT.

My hand is Underground Sea, LED, LED, Lotus Petal, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual and Infernal Tutor.

My opponent plays a turn one Inquisition of Kozilek, taking away my Infernal Tutor.

My draw for the turn? Preordain.

I go for it.

Underground Sea, LED, LED, Lotus Petal, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, Preordain.

Storm count 6.

Preordain reveals land and Infernal Tutor.

Iggy-loop ftw :3

Playing in a standard FNM with valakut, I think before titan even came out
My opponent is using a mono W control deck that plays eldrazi temple and such to ramp into emrakul.
My opponent is on about 10 or 11 life because I've been attacking him.
My only creature right now though is an ondu giant. I have 2 valakuts and a khalni heart expedition with 3 counters on it but I only have 3 mountains in play so cracking it won't do anything.

He casts emrakul, so I guess it's all over, but I don't concede

Before attacking, he casts path to exile on my ondu giant >_>

I don't often play standard, I think that's the only time I ever won an FNM (all the good players were playing in the cash tournament at the store up the road)

I have also had the
Me: Turn 1 Tireless tribe
Opponent: Standstill
Me: Wut?
Opponent: Concede

I have had an opponent almost try to put a jitte on their phantasmal image before realising

I'm sure I have made some pretty dumb errors too, everybody makes mistakes and I'm sad that I can't really remember any of them because being aware of your shortcomings is how to improve

I've had an opponent turn two a standstill on me when I was playing Lands. I think I even played Exploration turn 1. I looked at him and said "I'm pretty sure I'm going to be drawing cards off that." A few turns later I'm beating in with two Factories after wasting the two Mutavaults he thought would get me to crack the standstill. He plays some merfolk, I draw 3, and he asks to go to game two not long after.

[Rizso]

Opponent has cursed scroll in play with one card in hand. He activates cursed scroll, naming dark ritual. He reveals a swamp.

Really laughted out load when i read that :D Thats awesome. XD

[Goin Aggro]

Player 1: Would you like to draw?
Player 2: Why? Neither of us is in contention for T8.
P1: I know, I just don't think I can win.

Well played sir, well played.

Ok, a friend of mine remembered this one from a long time ago. I did this to him and remember this was back before the internet was around to let you know you were wrong by looking up oracle texts. I thought I was a frigging genius for thinking up this one.



Me: Plays Flood Plain

Him: Plays Mountain, Jackal Pup

Me: uptap, go.

Him: Plays Ironclaw Orcs, swings in with Pup.

I sacrifice the flood plain to fetch up Island Fish Jasconius.

Munch on Jackal Pup. Laugh Heartily.

Is it okay to post other people's games?

This weekend my friends and I had a chaos draft. I went an unspectacular 2-2 with a UBw control deck, but my friend and organizer (let's call him D) 3-0'd with the sickest GU deck ever. In the final round, he was up against GWB fat stuff.

I walk over and it's turn six or so of game 2. D has a Momir Vig and a Deepwood Drummer in play. His opponent casts Spined Wurm. The following happens:

D: Time Ebbs Spined Wurm, attacks.
Opp: untaps and casts Spined Wurm.
D: Memory Lapses Spined Wurm, attacks on his turn.
Opp: untaps and casts Spined Wurm.
D: Whirlpool Whelms Spined Wurm EOT. The clash reveals Annex for D and something that costs less than four for the opponent.
D: untaps and Annexes opponent's Simic Growth Chamber, attacks.

It was brutal. Unfortunately, then D drew six lands in a row and lost to the Spined Wurm (which finally stuck) and an Alpha Tyrannax.

Me: "Land, go."

Them: "Land, Thoughtseize."

Me: "Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Ad Nauseam, stop at 2 life."

Them: "I'm not scooping, take Tendrils."

[Sims]

Me: "Land, go."

Them: "Land, Thoughtseize."

Me: "Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Ad Nauseam, stop at 2 life."

Them: "I'm not scooping, take Tendrils."

Did this game end with "Burning Wish for IGG/Past in Flames" ??

[Koby]

Did this game end with "Burning Wish for IGG/Past in Flames" ??

Doesn't it always?

[The Wolf]

Him 2x bazzaar in play
Opp: Jailer in play and a fist full of counters.

Him: Draw play fetch land and pass
Opp: Draw and swing with jailer
Him: Crack fetch and get Dryad Arbor

At the Dutch NC legacy, some weeks ago, I played a mono black suicide-type deck incl. smallpox and Death's Shadow (which is such an awesome card!).

I play BUG thresh in round three, standing 1-1 so there was still hope (yeah right...). Board state was about equal when I play smallpox and he sacrifices his only creature, a nimble mongoose while having threshold. I have a Snuff Out in hand and neither of us has any creatures. He then draws mongoose, casts it and says go. I draw irrelevant stuff and pass. He draws mongoose, casts it and attacks with the other one. I draw irrelevant stuff and pass. He draws mongoose AGAIN, casts it and attacks with the other two. Now my life total is at 9. I draw Death's shadow, which is now 4/4 so I will be able to survive one attack. He draws, attacks for 6 and I ask him: "You drew a lightning bolt, right?" after which he apologizes and reveals the bolt. P_)(^#%
I would have drawn Tombstalker, stabilizing the board at that moment. Stupid shrouded mongooses, that snuff out was totally useless!

The next match I made an interesting mistake. I'm paired against goblins, we are at 1-1 and have a very close third game. At one point I have a 5/5 Death's Shadow and a Dark confidant in play and he has 3 goblins. Since his turn would probably the last he draws and says "I just go for it" and swings with 3 of his goblins (Matron, Ringleader, 2/2 dork). I'm so afraid he drew the gempalm goblin so that, if I would block a goblin with my death's shadow, he would be able to deal lethal damage to it, removing my finisher. So I decided to take the 5 damage, going to 4. He then reveals Lightning bolt (totally forgot about that card, I was convinced he couldn't hurt my life total) and says YES I WIN! While I point out I still live and have 1 life left. At that stage I was like YES I WIN! when he pointed to me the Dark confidant still in play, hoping it would reveal a lethal card. I was just about to use Top when I realized I used it to draw a card, so confidant would kill me for sure. I reach out my hand, he shakes it, thinking he lost, when I pointed out Top was on top...

Now the mistake (who figured it out? :P): the Death's Shadow would never die from either Lightning bolt or Gempalm dude, since the other two goblins would hurt my life total, increasing it's P/T before he would die... Yeah, great call on that one!

[kombatkiwi]

Today in an innistrad draft I made the worst misplay of my entire life

Me: Alpha strike
Opponent: Alpha strike back
Me: ok game

I forgot the moonmist in my hand could be a fog
I was using it only as "transform all humans, prevent all combat damage dealt to werewolves"

I couldve just cast it and attacked back for game

Guess I spotted your mistake right there... .

[DoomPenguin]

Two good ones while I was playing The Gate:

Opponent (Esperblade): Stoneforge for Batterskull
Me: Sac Gatekeeper to flashback Cabal Therapy, resolves, name Batterskull
Him: Oh yeah I forgot you could do that

Against Helm/Leyline Combo with Doomsday SB:

Me: Turn 1 Pithing Needle, name Helm of Obedience, I start beating down while he does nothing
Opponent: Plays Ensnaring Bridge
I Can't attack, so we draw go for a while
Opponent: Doomsdays for Shelldock/Emrakul combo
Me: Vampire Nighthawk in play and Extirpate in hand with enough permanents to sac to Emrakul, I feel confident
Opponent: Shelldocks out Emrakul, pauses, looks at Ensnaring Bridge and scoops
Me: Reads Ensnaring Bridge more closely and realizes it affects all players
Everyone has a good laugh

[dahcmai]

I almost forgot this one. It happened at SCG Indy just this year.

I'm playing Gitaxias Reanimator. He's on Hypergenesis.


It's game 2 and he drops Leyline of the void. I freak inside my head as I realize I don't have a damned thing to get rid of that in the deck. I didn't expect him to board those since I saw no black game 1. I didn't board in Show and Tells since I don't want him dropping fatties larger than mine. Ie. Projo and Emrakul. I'm thinking I'm pretty locked out.

I decide to keep going to see if I can think of something.


He casts a cascade spell and I force the Hypergenesis to buy some time to think.

He casts another Hypergenesis off cascade next turn. I have to let it go.


He drops Progenitus. I drop Sheodred and smile a little. He is done. Wait?....done?

I get to drop Elesh Norn and Jin Gitaxias along with it.

woot

Not me but stolen from Taco for its epicness, circa 2007:

This may have nothing to do with Flash, but I was so amused by it I had to bring it up. IBA suggests Brightstone Ritual as a bizarre answer to Empty the Warrens, so I started testing it against some ETW tossing decks. Here's one of my best results ever and quite possibly the best turn one in the history of Vial Goblins:

Opponent: Turn one, ridiculous shit, 16 ETW Tokens:

Me: (Opening Hand: Plateau, Wasteland, Brightstone Ritual, Brightstone Ritual, Warchief, Ringleader, Matron)

-Plateau, Ritual for 16, Warchief, Ringleader (10 floating.)
-(Ringleader hits Ringleader, Gempalm, Piledriver.)
-Ringleader (7 Floating.)
-(Ringleader hits Matron, Matron, Sharpshooter, Piledriver. Sweet!)
-Matron for Ringleader, Piledriver, Ringleader (1 Floating).
-(Ringleader hits Lackey, SGC)
-Brightstone Ritual for 22, Piledriver, Matron for Matron, Matron for Driver, Matron for Driver, Piledriver, Piledriver, Sharpshooter, Lackey, Gempalm, Siege-Gang (5 Floating.)
-Sharpshooter off all tokens.
-Mana Burn for 5.
-Swing for 179.
