You know that feeling, where you pull something totally outrageous and it wins you the game?
For example:
Me and my friend were gaming hard. I was playing a Bolas, The Deceiver deck
(1 Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver
3 Wasp of the Bitter End
3 Khenra Eternal
2 Burning-Fist Minotaur
2 Aerial Guide
2 Eternal of Harsh Truths
1 Ammit Eternal
2 Marauding Boneslasher
4 Zealot of the God-Pharaoh
2 Manticore Eternal
2 Supernatural Stamina
2 Magma Spray
2 Open Fire
3 Final Reward
1 Throne of the God-Pharaoh
2 Visage of Bolas
4 Cinder Barrens
4 Crypt of the Eternals
5 Island
6 Swamp
7 Mountain)
And my friend was playing Red-White dinosaurs (Huatli deck)
He destroyed my Planeswalker, got his own on the field,
He has 5 life, I have 1, he's about to attack with his swarm of creatures and/or trigger Huatli's ultimate...
And then I do this:
I activate the ability of Zealot of the God-Pharaoh (4{r}: Deal 2 damage to target opponent)
And then I play Open Fire.
And the game ends 1 life to me, 0 life to him.
I don't know quite how to describe that feeling.

Yeah, I really just wanted to brag about that one game I had under a righteous cause XD
Oh, yeah, that's my favorite way to win! (Besides the one mentioned in the post)
so I KID YOU NOT:
Another one happened just today:
I was playing an Ixalan Jace deck
(1 Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage
1 Herald of Secret Streams
1 Fleet Swallower
2 Kumena's Speaker
2 Jungle Delver
2 Deeproot Warrior
3 Jace's Sentinel
2 Shaper Apprentice
2 Vineshaper Mystic
2 Shapers of Nature
2 Jade Guardian
2 Headwater Sentries
1 Tempest Caller
2 Air Elemental
2 Grasping Current
3 River Heralds' Boon
4 Castaway's Despair
4 Woodland Stream
11 Forest
11 Island)
He had Shivan dragon and 2 others on the battlefield (He was playing Sarkhan Vol), and was getting ready to obliterate me on the next turn. I had 0 creatures to block, and had just ran out of Castaway's Despairs, so I do this:
Jace had the exact amount of loyalty to cast the ultimate - so I cast the ultimate, Jace dies in the process, gain control of the Shivan dragon and the others, and get him all the way to EXACTLY zero. Ironic.
It was like this when I started out as well, but then by Year 5 of magic things started to get more interesting.
30 health each
Max hand size 10, and starting draw 10
Draw 2, drop 2 (draw two cards per turn, drop two lands per turn)
2 v 1
I had my Nekuzar commander deck being used against a Gruul planeswalker deck and an Izzet planeswalker deck. The command deck is one of taxing life from card draw and discard. I had just lost to both of those decks individually.
Turn 1: I drop a swamp and a rupture spire. Izzet dropped a gate and a mountains, Gruul dropped a mountain. He was somehow manascrewed.
Turn two: I played two more lands and a Waste Not. Others placed lands and creatures.
Turn thee: Everyone was tapped out. I placed two more lands, then played Megrim and Windfall. Both my opponents had ten cards in hand, for a total of one land, four creatures, and fifteen that were neither. I ended up drawing twenty five cards and had two black mana. Paid one of them for a sol ring, then cast Dark Deal.
Game, set, match.

Double freaking Storm Herd. Almost 80 Pegasi swinging for lethal
I play a full control [memnarch] artifact EDH...now that is either the easiest road to victory or the most painful experience possible (against another memnarch)
They were playing one of those dimir revive decks with bond of revival to pull giant creatures they had milled like drakuseth, sephara, and impervius greatwurm. I was playing an enchantment deck, so I had out Ethereal Absolution.
Long story short, they could cast two spells on their turn only. If they attempted to pull something out of the graveyard, I just exiled their target with Ethereal absolution. If they didn't and milled instead, at the end of their turn, I exiled either their reanimation spells from the graveyard (they were running mission briefing so they could keep casting bond of revival) or some random creature. They literally stole my enchantment and lost the game cause they didn't realize how badly it would work for their deck versus mine
So me and my dad are playing memoir 44, a ww2 strategy game. I'm playing the germans, he's playing the british. He's one kill away from winning, and i draw this card that lets me use most of my units. I just send them all at these units who's only at one health but well fortified, and eventually get enough kills to win the game from an almost losing state.
