EDH Silliness

[justinhering]

Hi all! I wanted to start a thread that will hopefully be ongoing about one of my favorite formats: EDH. I've only played a couple of matches, but I understand now why the format is very popular and hugely entertaining.

One aspect I think that makes the game fun is the interactions between all the cards available, from legacy cards to today.

So...this thread is devoted to funny/amazing/silly plays you witness during your EDH matches.

Here is story number 1:

Playing my Bant Angels versus Anja's Esper Artifact control...game 2. She is at 20 general damage from Jenara and things look bleak until she drops Day of Judgment and passes the turn.

I have Elspeth Tirel and Cradle of Vitality online. In my hand...Storm Herd, with enough mana to play the card. I play Storm Herd, summoning 35 1/1 Pegasus. I then use Elspeth's +2 and gain 1 life for each creature I control placing my life at 70. Cradle of Vitality says I can pay 1W and for each life I gain put a +1/+1 counter on target creature, so one of my pegasus becomes a 36/36 flier.

In short, I drop 71 power on the board in one turn. Anja sees what she is dealing with, plays her turn and concedes. We had a good laugh.

Now share your story with us...

My favorite story was playing a casual edh with my friend he takes one look at his hand and started to crack up... i had no idea what was in store for me. His general was Akroma Angel of Wraith turn 2 he played stone forge searching for sword of body and mind. Turn 3 he plays sword of body and mind, turn 4 he plays grafted exo skeleton, turn 5 he looks and me and laughs as he lays out a basilisk collar. I had him down to about 15 life as he wrath of gods the turn wiping my board/ general. Turn 8 comes around and he plays akroma. Turn 9 he laughs as he swings for 10 poison with a Flying, First strike, trample, haste, deathtouch , lifelink, infect pro red,black,green,blue and last but not least decking. Akroma Angel of Wrath.... To this day ive nvr been so scared of a single akroma.....

Grafted Exoskeleton is gross in EDH. That's a great story.
