Lol. To make mine simple I was playing legacy against someone with my UB Reanimator. He was playing a home built control with 26 counter spells. He countered almost everything I had. On turn six my land base was {Vivid Marsh} x1 (still with one counter), Swamp x2, and {Reflecting Pool} x3. He was handless and is was I. I draw, grin, then straightcast an {Intet, the Dreamer}! He was just like "wha-? How?". I just smiled and pointed to my {Reflecting Pool}s and {Vivid Marsh}.

Ok this happen twice in a row.

Game #1
I was playing mill and I get off to an awesome start.  My opponent starts to get the advantage and he will swing for game next round with just 7 cards in his library.  I say "I will draw {glimpse the unthinkable} for game" he says "you wish".  I turn over the top card on my draw step and BAM it's glimpse!!!!

Game #2 same opponent different decks
I am playing affinity and again I am off to an awesome start and it looks like an early win.  He plays {pernicious deed} and wipes the board.  He has the advantage, swings with all and will swing for game next round....he is at 5 life.  I have just 5 land, 1 {mishras factory} and 3 arti lands and an island.  I say "I draw {cranial plating} and swing for game with mishras" he says "yea right".  On my draw step I turn over top card and BAM cranial plating!!!!

LOL  High-speed Heartless! I have a deck with that in it too.  Good pulls.

I don't know if it's my "greatest moment", but it makes me smile every time I think about it:

5-man FFA, and a guy that used to play with us (looked EXACTLY like the one on {Guiltfeeder}.  The one on the left, that is.  ;)) was playing a Reanimator/Threshold/Graveyard matters deck.  This was around the time of Odyssey block.  He had some good stuff in his grave, I don't remember what, and casts {Guiltfeeder}.  Yes, the guy played with the card, he even had the same chin-strap.  XD

To the point:
Guiltfeeder Guy:  I'll cast {Guiltfeeder}.
Me:  {Grip of Amnesia}, remove your graveyard or counter it.
GFG: Aw man.... umm... that sucks.... okay, fine, I'll get rid of my graveyard.
Me:  Ok, {Counterspell}.
GFG:  T_T

I wa playing Two-Headed Giant.
Me and my teamie were both playing aggro and our opponents were lifegain and eldrazi/green monster ramp.
So we knocked them down fighting the life gain when they played {It That Betrays} and {Ancient Ooze}.
I attacked into them with a kruin stricker and they were at 10. He blocked then I showed two {Brimstone Volley} for the win!

Don't think this was my greatest moment but I LMAO. In one of our casual multiplier games I had a friend who hard cast {Emrykul, the Aeon Torn} and began to gloat. I let him wind down then tapped 5 Vamps and snatched him with {Captivating Vampire}. Sure he got a free turn but I got a Vamp Emmy!

Can you do that? Emmy has protection from spells, is it because capt. Vamp is an ability?

Had some time to think and remember some of the good ones now.
Casual elf mirror match with coat of arms on board. Somewhere around 800 elves in play with massive amounts of life each and he drops the forest walk chanmpion and attacks all out for the kill. I respond with {tangle}.
First ever tourny match i played ramp mill in zendikar+shards, got him to pull his last card but i had one life and no way to stop his vamp from swinging in the air. It was a good start to a competitive career even though i lost.
Second tourney after the TO helped out my deck with archive trap and some other cards, i added {telemin performance} to hold the place of the archive trap i was short on. I pulled it against a mass polymorph deck and hit {iona, shield of emeria} and named blue.

Yes, emrakul only has protection from colored spells. So colorless spells like {ghost fire} and any perminant such as o-ring or journey to nowhere or even gideon's lawkeeper can effect it.

Wait what? {oblivion ring} is a white spell...so he'd have protection from it..or am I missing something?

Damage
Equip/enchantment
Block
Target

4 rules of protection to my knowledge

It's a spell on the stack, but it doesn't target Emmy until it's a permanent on the battlefield.

It is a creature ability, which is not a spell. It works the same as if you were to use a {Blinding Mage} to simply tap him.  He didn't know that either at the time so he ignored it. No one has since.

Recently well phyrexia draft. I went to a card shop for my first draft. I slow played for two reasons. 1 I wasn't exactly sure on all the rules.  2 I try to let my opponent think they are way smarter then me and more advanced then I am. I am slowly beating on him. I use that phyxrian artifact creature that spend red or phyrexian mana to power him up. I attack and he let's it thru. I sacrifice almost all my life to power it up for the kill. He is in disbelief. Looks at that card a few times in confusion.  Throwers his cards out and leaves the store.

Not really an epic moment for me alone but me and my friend playing almost mirror Aggro decks, mine was {W}{R} his was {B}{R}. Constant playing of haste creature and killing attackers. He edged me out but every creature in our decks saw play and nearly all of our removal was used. Total shootout.

Me and my uncle where playing a mirror green beast deck match on the couch, we each had at least 30 creatures each spreaded from the top of the couch all the way to the floor. It was so great he ended up swinging with everything and i just gave up from pure confusion.

Pure confusion won and lost me lots of matches. Like when your opponent plays {Shaharazad} then uses {Karn Liberated}

I've already posted this in midnight prerelease, but one of my stupidest moves was at the m13 prerelease.  I attacked with my 17/17 {Serra avetar}, he blocked with his 0/1 {stuffy doll} that I forgot about, and beat me.  Duh!

My greatest game was against my best friend back in the day.  We both loved playing mono black.  He liked discard though, and I like land destruction.  I was laughing so hard because he got so pissed off.  I had a {black vice} on him, and he only had 1 land, and then I dropped the {nether void}.  The next card he drew was a {dark ritual}.  He's like,"let me get this strait.  I have to pay 4 to cast my {dark ritual}?". I'm like, "yep.". That's when the cussing commenced!  Lol!
