Hello I hear great stories of commander matches and I was woundering what were some of your funnest matches, I.E. How the match went and what made it fun, enjoy
There was the night we all played Board_Wrath.dec at the same table. No one had jammed that many wraths in but we all drew into them. It was Sen Triplets combo, original Avacyn as angels / Worldslayer, my Meren of Clan Nel Toth stax deck, Edric, Spymaster of Trest 1/1 flier tribal, and a Tasigur deck running ~20 counterspells that could only win through infinite turns loop and commander damage.
Edric was having a really good game, continually drawing into a swarm of creatures to try and snowball us all. Avacyn player drops Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to clear his board, though, but Sen Triplets didn't want Elesh to stay around for long so she ate a Detention Sphere. Two turns later Edric is right back on top of things, including a Thada Adel, Acquisitor that we all knew could end the game if it connected with Sen Triplets. And here I was with 3 mana open and Krosan Grip in hand. I cast it on the Detention Sphere during Edric's combat phase, freeing Elesh to again wipe his board.
At various points in that game a Nevinyrral's Disk (Avacyn), Toxic Deluge (me), Cyclonic Rift (Tasigur), and finally Ugin setting up Austere Command + Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice from Sen Triplets to finish the game. It took us at least 2.5 hours even through quick play and if Triplets hadn't managed to drop Ugin, I would have won the very next turn.

I was facing my brother in a 1v1 commander game. He was using Rakdos, Lord of Riots while I was using Kaseto, Orochi Archmage. On his side of the board he had a TON of creatures. Rakdos, Lord of Riots, Bloodgift Demon, Myr Battlesphere, Ulamog's Crusher (budget Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre) , etc. He tapped all of his creatures and that brought me down in health A LOT. On my side of the board I had an infinite combo of Serpent Generator, Kaseto, Orochi Archmage, and Shisato, Whispering Hunter. I kept hitting him with Shisato and he kept skipping his untap phase. I had a Beastmaster Ascension that would be activated in a couple of turns. Then I passed the turn. He drew a Mountain. He had the ONE red mana to cast the Blasphemous Act he had in hand. He reset all of his gigantic creatures to kill shisato. He passed the turn. After a couple of turns I got a Lorescale Coatl then I attatched a Snake Umbra to it. After a couple turns, It had soooo many +1/+1 counters on it. But on his side he got Rakdos out again and put a ton of big cfreatures out again. He won the game. Or so he thought. He passed the turn. It took me about 8 minutes to try to figure out how to win. He had a ton of blockers and I couldn't figure out how to win. I thought I need a way to make it unblockable. I remembered Kaseto, Orochi Archmage. I tapped five mana very slowly to make the moment more dramatic. Then I slowly slid Kaseto from the command zone to the battlefield. My brother literally slapped his face when I did that. I pumped my Lorescale Coatl and swung for lethal damage. Not only was the most intense EDH game I've ever had, it was also the longest 1v1 EDH game I've had.

Probably a 1v1 against my friend's Ezuri, Claw of Progress deck. I was using my Mina and Denn, Wildborn deck and brought out Omnath, Locus of Rage. He obviously didn't know how to deal with Omanth, and kept on killing off his elementals first, then focused on Omnath himself. I had a ton of recursion on my side, so it didn't help on his behalf. I think he finally got rid of Omnath through Reality Shifting the guy. Remember, when you see Angry Omnath, ALWAYS don't take our time to destroy him.

I was playing my Ezuri, Claw of Progress deck and the other 3 players were ganging up on for some reason... it's not like I had over 20 experience counters, and Asceticism on the field or anything! I ended killing each of them with a supremely massive Charging Badger because charging badger don't care!

I was running a Nicol Bolas deck recently against 3 friends on MTGO. They were playing Flip Walkers and decided to be the Gatewatch. So, the ganged up on me. I ended up winning after a pretty grueling comeback.

The most fun are the ones that I win...... :P
There is one game that stands out though. I have a Progenitus Gods/Superfriend style deck with a handful of other WTF types of cards mixed in. I was playing a buddy of mine who was also playing his own Superfriend deck and it was getting to be a little stupid with the amount of planeswalkers out on the field. I drop a Doubling Season and a Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, tick up all of my walkers and pass the turn.
Friend takes his turn, ticks up all of his walkers, and he is just durdling along because he wants to ultimate all of his walkers and just go nuts on me as I have nothing out to help my devotion to make the Gods active.
I draw, and what do i net? Ajani, Caller of the Pride........so with 40 life still........and Doubling Season I was able to net myself 80 2/2 cat tokens that are unblockable because of Sun Quan, Lord of Wu........thats right, next turn I swung for 160 damage with a bunch of cats riding on their horses.

Using my awesome Feldon deck I pulled off a massive turn. Anyone who plays against Feldon has probably seen the deck just sit there and do little, until it just downright explodes. Using Sundial of the Infinite I got to keep the 6 Utvara Hellkites I used to attack and get 36 dragons. Then, the next turn, I played a Warstorm Surge. I attacked with the 6 hellkites and 36 dragons to get a total of 216 6/6 dragon tokens which each did 6 damage when they entered the battlefield. Everybody died to 432 damage via dragons, which goes up to 530 for each player when you factor in combat damage.
Who needs infinite combos anyway? I got dragons.

I was playing my Nekusar deck, against Karador, Sliver Queen, Jenara, Asura of War and Bruna, Light of Alabaster...In a Planechase game that started with everyone getting at least 5 goat tokens...a turn two Waste Not into 5 mana turn 3 saw my Memory Jar countered. I Demonic Tutored for a Windfall and Karador decided to Dark Deal on his next turn. I ended up drawing ten cards total and getting 12 zombies.
End result, two people scooped before my next wheel effect resolved and the zombies killed Karador. Turned the game into a 1v1 where he could smash me for 8, but I drew 16 cards off a Cyclonic Rift thanks to the plane we were on and it became ridiculous...
Good times.

It wasn't a commander game, but I really want to share this war story with you guys. Me and some of my friends were drinking and playing Magic. Me and my opponent were both playing some blue/red decks and i really had the lead. I was way more superior than him, so I wanted to humiliate him as well...That went terrible wrong so to say.... He had 1hp left and I decided to used Curse of the Swine on all of my flying creatures. He was like "Wait...what? You're doing....WHAT?!" Then he used Seismic Rupture..... I lost the game...

Was playing a four player game with my mimeoplasm deck against Angus Mackenzie, Brago, King Eternal, and Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder. I had Filth in my graveyard and a Mana Reflection on my field as well as The Mimeoplasm who was Gaea's Revenge with Death's Shadow counters. The endrek player was the only one who could get rid of the mimeoplasm. The angus player threatened to keep fogging until the mimeoplasm was gone and the brago player was flickering Knight-Captain of Eos constantly so I had to deal with both of them to kill the endrek player. I ended up dropping Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and passing the turn. Nobody drew a way to get rid of him or mimeo so the angus player scooped when it passed back to my turn. I then cast Villainous Wealth for 47 targeting the brago player who scooped on the spot allowing me to swing for lethal at the endrek player. Not the most epic thing ever but the looks on their faces when I told them I was casting Villainous Wealth for 47 was priceless XD.

The most fun game I've had was when I was in a 4 player game with Zedruu/Control/Stax and I managed to buy back Cryptic Command four times with Soulfire Grand Master and that's after casting it three times with Mystic Retrieval. Mind you I was using things like Pithing Needle, Orb of Dreams, Storage Matrix and Tangle Wire to control their board states.
One player was playing Allies and his deck was insane good. Eventually the Ally ETB damage and effects were too much.
I felt like strong but not unbeatable much like how the champion of the elite four should feel.

It's tied between the time I Rite of Replicationed my friend's Massacre Wurm, and the time I took 2 extra turns with double-strike'd Medomai the Ageless and Brago, King Eternal and killed that same friend with infect damage before he'd even played his 4th land.
There was also this time I was playing a friend's blue troll deck and I just kept recurring Stolen Goods on the Kaalia player.

I was playing against a Mikaeus, the Unhallowed deck which was a very expensive deck and the player was gloating about how far ahead he was. I had a Maze of Ith stopping him from lethal (kinda). Since he was too focused on himself, he missed the Ghost Quarter that could take care of it. Since he thought he couldn't take me out, he played Necropotence using its effect to get a bunch of cards and fall to 10 life. I still had a Consecrated Sphinx that he had left alive (he made sure to point out how he could leave it alive as I wouldn't get any card from Necropotence). On my turn, I played a Psychosis Crawler and Blue Sun's Zenith'd my opponent for 5. I then drew 10 cards, dealing exact lethal.
