Absolutely hilarious stuff happened last night at a friend's. I was in a four-person match; my opponents were a white Soldier deck, a green/black/red devour deck, and a black/blue persist deck.
The white Soldier deck had about four 1/1 tokens, a couple Elite Vanguards (2/1 1-drops), I think a Captain of the Watch (gives all Soldiers +1/+1 and vigilance), three Honor of the Pures and an Eldrazi Monument (gives all your creatures flying, +1/+1 and indestructibility at the cost of a creature per turn.) He had 8 life.
The GBR had a shroud creature that got a +1/+1 counter each time something died. It was 8/8 at the time. He also had 4 1/1 tokens and 2 3/1 tokens. He had 9 life.
The BU had an army, practically. So much persist stuff that he was practically invincible. He had 6 life.
I have Thoctar with 8 counters, Talon of Pain with 0 counters, and Fireball in my hand, with exactly 8 mana.
My turn comes around. I draw a land. I fire off all 8 counters from Thoctar to kill the white Soldier guy, and pay 9R for Fireball to kill off the GBR. I end my turn.
The BU guy does nothing.
I fire off 6 ToP counters FTW.
Everyone was like "holy crap that was beautiful".
Best. Game. Ever.
