This is really two questions for you guys. How long have you been playing magic and what is your most fond memory of a magic match.
P.S i am sorry for miss spelled words. American is not my first language
I've been playing since about Innustrad, most memorable match was at my FNM when my opponent swung for lethal, them resigned, took of his shirt, pulled out a boom box, started playing really loud music then was arrested for drag racing too fast :))

that sounds like an.... Interesting match.
I played back in zendikar, then stopped for a while, then got back in this summer. My favorite match was when my friend had an 8/8 {figure of destiny} and I had no fliers, and I was at 1 life. My turn I used {steel overseer}s ability, then {voltaic key}, then steel overseer then {tezzeret the seeker}s +1, then steel overseer, then voltaic, and put 4 counters on each creature and swung with 2 {master of etherium}, a {kuldotha forgemaster}, and some 14/14 memnites

Because of that I placed 2nd!
MLerner I call BS! Lol
I've been playing since Ravnica but I have been addicted ever since. My most memorable match was against a guy at FNM I played a $30 {Wild Beastmaster} deck and he played a $300+ Jund deck and I had my best hand I T1 Forest -> {Arbor Elf} T2 Mountain into {Burning-Tree Emissary} into {Wild Beastmater} he {Farseeked on T2 so he had a T3 {Olivia Voldaren} and he was cocky and said "depending on how I block here this game will be over fast." I say ok ... Swing blood rush WBM with {Ghor-Clan Rampager} to make my WBM a 5/5 making my BTE a 7/7 and my Elf a 6/6. I then before blockers {Pit Fight} BTE vs Olivia and proceeded to swing for 18 lol he scooped next turn :D
That is pretty sick

No, there was some huge drag racing think on that very street and I think he wanted to stereotype the drag racers :D it was hilarious because it extended that match about 30 minutes for everyone to stop laughing.
I was playing my mono black control build in the scars block standard. My opponent was playing a delver deck. It was game 3. He swung for lethal with an {Insectile Aberration} equiped with a {Runechanter's Pike}, for a total of 13 damage. All I had was a {Phyrexian Obliterator}, a {Staff of Nin}, and a useless {Tragic Slip}. But then as I was begining to scoop my lands up, I realized something. I pinged my own obliterator with staff of nin, sacrificed my obliterator, which triggered morbid, which allowed me to kill my opponent's delver and go on to win the game. I now call {Staff of Nin} "Staff of Win".
I actually wasn't in the most memorable match I've seen, but it was recent. A friend had stolen {Biovisionary} and {Infinite Reflection} from his opponent's deck with {Nightveil Specter}. He beat the other guy through his own win-con
I was playing a crappy commons only mono black, I was playing against a red green Aggro just around the time inistrad was huge before ravnica, it was my first fnm he beat me the first game than on game two he gave me the win by not playing anything, he did the samething for game two than I asked him if he could give me any tips he altered my deck for me and gave me 3 griselbrands to put in my deck.
I have been playing for almost a year and a half.
I started playing at champions of kamigawa and played through future sight, but not seriously which was a mistake considering all the {Tarmogoyf}s I could've gotten if I'd known about them, and then my second mistake was stopping after future sight and picking up at dark ascension so I missed out on the eldrazi and jace the mind sculptor. Till this day I regret it. All the money and good cards I could have right now, instead 9 years of playing magic have yielded me a small and lousy collection of rares and very few are sought after or valuable so I can't really trade for anything I want, since I have nothing to trade for. I have a .poo. load of commons and uncommons though. The funny thing is I've been playing for half my life for what little I have and I know people who have been playing for a year or two and have thousands of dollars in cards stuffed in two or three binders. Foil jaces and swords and at least one of every planeswalker foil and non foil and in foreign languages. It really makes me sad. But I was just a kid during all this, and my life was crazier back then, and I didn't know the value in magic at the time it was just a leisure thing for me. I never took is seriously until I got back in to it this past year. So I can't really blame myself. But back go the original post and the most memorable match I've had. I had an Esper artifact deck that was like artifact ramp into {sharuum the hegemon} and {sphinx of the steel wind} and I completely crushed 3 people in 4 way match against rdw, eldrazi ramp, and an orzhov life gain deck. It was pretty brutal.
I started around Beta/Revised, quite for a bit around Invasion and returned around Zen block.
Most memorable game was a friendly with my best friend. I'm playing B/W and he is playing R/W. It was around Ice Age. He first turns a Plains -> {Tundra Wolf}. I drop a Swamp -> {Dark Ritual} -> {Drudge Skeleton}. He plays a Mountain -> {Lightning Bolt} my Skely and attacks. My deck then goes flat. He ended up drawing all burn and manages to kill anything I put down, which was like 2 other things thanks to mana screw. He deals all 20 damage with that single wolf, even to the point of discarding everything that is not burn if I haven't played a creature. I did not draw a single kill spell the entire game.
I've been playing since I think close to the end of dragons maze.
I have a few memorable matches lol
1: I was playing against a sliver deck as manage to kick a {right of replication} I got 5 {battle sliver}s so I had a lovely army of giant slivers and destroyed him next turn :P
2: his nasty sliver commander deck D: his slivers were monsters! His {sliver queen} commander was pumping slivers out and one gave each sliver the ability to tap and give target sliver +x/+x where x is the number of slivers he controlled... Oh my god that was one monstrous sliver token...
3: my black deck. I had a few {crypt ghast}s out and managed to start pumping zombies like crazy! {army of the damned}, {elixir of immortality} {increasing ambition}, {diabolic tutor}. I kept pulling the elixir and army of the damned back and had TONS of zombies xD
My most memorable match was when alliances just came out. I was playing my friend, who I had never beaten in a match. Game 3. I was playing my RG aggro and he was playing UB control. My turn with a {Balduvian Horde} in play, him with some monster to block and lands all tapped, both of us at 20. I attack, he declares no blocks. I'm like ok, cast {Berserk}, then {Fork}. He was like "huh?, I just lost?"
I started in rise of the eldrazi.
I like to build rogue decks (not net decks). Back in the days when eeryone thought delver and kessig wolf run were the only good decks I played a {heartless summoning} deck that earned me more first places than any other deck has. In the deck was large creatures ({wurmcoil engine}, {inferno titan}, {frost titan}, {massacre wurm}, and {rune-scarred demon}) that I would play faster than normal with heartless and/or {solemn simulacrum} and the clone profusely with {phantasmal image} and {phyrexian metamorph}. I also ran {havengul lich} for the combo that few people used. I had one game during game day were the combo did something I knew it could but never had at a tourney.
Turn one: {dragonskull summit}
Turn two: {darkslick shores}, tap {B}{U}, heartless summoning.
Turn three: play {mountain}, tap {R}, play {priest of urabrask}, add {R}{R}{R}, pay {R}{B}{U}, play {havengul lich}, pay {R} for his ability on priest (dead due to heartless), pay my last {R} to cast it and add 3x{R} enough to play it again and again for infinite red. Cast {bonfire of the damned} for a billion.
That was his first time seeing the combo. He had done around 8 damage to me with his aggro deck.
Casual deck large multiplayer. Had {filigree sages} {mycosynth lattice} {tolarian academy}
And {memnarch}
Everyone collectively stood up and face palmed
Mine was probably a few months ago just before theros came out. I was playing against a super expensive Selesnya deck with a BW brew I was messing around with. I gave a {Volatile Rig} lifelink and deathtouch with a {Vault of the Archangel} as it died and dealt 4 damage to each creature and each player off of a coin flip... It wiped the board and I gained 20 life... I still ended up losing in a super long game but the guy told me he almost scooped at that point.
