I once built a Numot, the Devastator EDH deck whose sole purpose was to blast one player's lands out of the game. It did its job really admirably and made people hate me.
I had no idea that Erebos's Emissary required the discard of a creature. Which I actually questioned: "Wow, this card is like the new Wild Mongrel! There has to be a downside." But I re-read it, and nope! Worked just the way I thought. Awesome! I had two in my Theros prerelease deck, and I ended up going 3-1, several games pumping up my Emissaries with excess land. Whoops! A friend of mine finally pointed it out during a draft. Fortunately it was just a draft among friends, so no judges had to get involved.
I was a little annoyed. Ususally I'm pretty good at knowing what cards do.
Also, Space Geist: That's not an EDH rule, that's a multiplayer rule.
Back when Nyxathid was the big thing from Conflux, I opened one and thought OH COOL I CAN USE THIS until one of my older friends at my LGS saw it and wanted to trade for it. Both of us knowing what it was going for, I pulled out random junk from his binder but couldn't find anything else. So he offered me his Subway sandwich. Best. trade. EVER.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
I've terrified my entire playgroup into playing 4+ graveyard-hate pieces in every deck because of my mimeoplasm deck and it's unbeatable string of victories. I eventually took the deck apart, but my friends still play gratuitous amount of graveyard hate.
During the Ravnica: City of Guilds prerelease, I traded a ten-year old girl my Pristine Angel for her foil Watery Grave. While her father was watching.
Guy who plays with us at our local college club, you need to wipe your ass. I'm sorry but every time I walk by you I have to question if somebody in the vicinity pooped themselves. I finally narrowed it down to you, by walking past you a couple of times. When the same stench hit my nostrils on the second time I walked by, I knew it was you.
I have no idea how to solve this problem, do I just go up to him and say "Hey buddy I think ya **** yourself"? This is a real problem without a solution.

Hi I'm Infecter4life and ironically I only play GBx decks.
I own a mac... and love winning and being a jerk about it. Nothing gives me more pleasure than yelling as loud as I can YESS!!! and fist pumping in a an over the top manner when I win. The problems is worst when the stakes are higher and beating spikes makes me happy to the point of tears.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I often take advantage of my color blind friend when it comes to tapping mana in a tough situation, like with Supreme Verdict. The irony is that my favourite color combination is Black and White.
I won my avacyn restored gameday by using one restoration angel to untap two other restoration angels so I could block. No one realized that they couldnt untap angels at the time and I didn't even realize my mistake until someone pointed it out a month later. I probably still would have won though.
I finally decided to go to a Friday Night Magic this year. I walked in the door of my LGS, and was assaulted by a noxious brew of cheap cologne, sweat, taco bell, and B.O.
I decided I couldn't take fifteen minutes of this, let alone a whole night. I have given up competitive magic completely.

Current Favorite Decks: Creatureless Bolas Control with Lethal Vapors, Green Enchantress/Kavu Lair card draw, and Shriekmaw/Mulldrifter/Dignitary Flicker.
When I was younger (like, 10) I would lose games horribly, and then convince my friends to let me set up a winning board position after the game... and then take photos of my "victory." I'm a dork... >_>
I once let a kid put a Sacred Foundry in an empty trashcan (he thought it was a Boros Guildgate) and took it later while no one was looking.
I didn't ever shark anyone really out of trades, it's normally pretty equal for trades where I go. But, there was a douche bag who said he would bring me some cards the week after the pre-release for RTR, (he promised me a solid amount of cards from his trades and such, promising to bring playsets of the cards he had since he only had one of them each on the day) when i pulled a foil Deathrite Shaman. In regret I shouldn't have given it to him that night because needless to say he never came back.
I hope that stupid kid gets what's coming to him.
EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
I run a pure Storm deck in EDH. When it goes off, the winning turn takes about 20 minutes to complete, and I may fizzle at any moment in the process.
I once incidentally decked myself with Null Profusion after taking such a 20 minute turn.
I created my Riku EDH deck for the sole purpose of violating the spirit of EDH, fun, and common sense as much as possible. It's a full deck combo that plays out exactly the same every game. Sadly, I didn't do as good of a job as I should have, and it still doesn't have quite as much oomph as I would like it to.
I have, on occasion, not corrected my opponent when he forgets to gain life due to the incidental benefit of one of his cards, such as Time to Feed. I justify it by not paying enough attention to the life totals.
Forgive me, Richard Garfield, (Ph.D.), for I have sinned.

If I had a dollar for every time I missed playing a Counterspell ...
I'd be missing my Mana Drain s instead.
I need a Black/Green Legendary creature with infect. My body craves it...
I'm hoping for a GB Planechase style deck with new infect cards one day.
