Life Saving Plays

[xStrayKnightx]

Has anyone else saved themselves from the brink of death in a game of Magic by either top-decking a card or managing to pull off an amazing play ?

My most recent one was being whittled down to 1 life in a 4 player Commander game, then top decking {Resolute Archangel}. Life goes back to 40, then two turns later swung for the win.

With control decks I've won after being brought down to 1 life. (Standard)

I've used mazes end to win in commander ala scapeshift and leyline of anticipation.

Once I was while playing against a giant buffed up dredge deck deck with a few 15/15's. We were at a stand still until Nylea, God of the Hunt came into play, giving his guys trample. I used nythos, shrine to Nyx 2 to generated about 8 mana. I then played a Genesis Hydra for 8, got a Hypnotic Siren, stole Nylea and the rest was history.

Btw my Heath total was 1 after being hit by the big tramples.

I don't think would have been a legal play, as genesis hydra puts a card on the battle field

The sirens bestow ability requires it be cast

I was playing Modern Mill and affinity got me down to 2 life and I draw {Ensnaring Bridge} with 2 cards in hand so I play bridge and play land for turn I pass with 1 card in hand and lock him out! {Thank God he didn't top deck Galvanic Blast}

I use {congregate} late in the game sometimes and gain an extra 30 life
