Act of Treason  on my opponent's Firemane Avenger  , allowing me to have battalion when swinging that turn. I think you can guess the target of the resulting Lightning Helix  .

The amount of attention gained Round 1, game 1 when I got an active Ooze Flux  able to crank out 30 power worth of tokens (6 5/5s) every turn. The flux had been sitting, waiting for evolve critters since turn 4, but in the very late game it jsut exploded. My opponent was a very sporting sort, and admirably went down fighting rather than scooping to the swarm... perhaps because if I hadn't noticed I could have milled myself to death with my own Fathom Mage  -- thankfully, you MAY draw a card when she gets a counter... I was spending all my mana on ooze anyway. I was still overhearing conversations about that game until after round 3 when the guy with 11 extort creatures in his orzhov deck took over the "Did you hear about..." mutterrings.

Most amusing moment in my games was my opponent playing his Consuming Aberration  when I had no cards in my graveyard. His curses when I pointed out that it just dies were almost worth him winning that match. One of the more impressive matches going on near me was: Player 1: Aurelia, the Warleader  Player 2: Removal spell Player 2 : Sepulchural Primordial  Bring back Aurelia Player 1 : Removal spell, kill Aurelia again Player 2 : Keymaster Rogue  bounce Primordial, play it, Aurelia again, game.

Mortus Strider  + Corpse Blockade  for blocking. Deathcult Rogue  + Midnight Recovery  for attacking. And the Golgari think they know about life and death...

Last tournament of the day, I chose to go Simic. My deck ended up being Red/White/Black.....

I didn't open much in my Gruul box...hardly any usable common creature or spells (not one Mugging, or even a Slaughterhorn.) I did have two Zhur-Taa Swines and one Predator's Rapport in my deck. Late in one hand I had six mana to work with so I bloodrushed one Swine with my second piggy then cast Rapport for a bonus 18 life. Bacon can be good for your health after all...

I've got a casual Bacon deck. Search for green/red Boar creatures, put together a decient curve, add Rancor, the Fight card and Morbid Giant Growth from Innistrad.
Surprisingly effective, and the Morbid trigger can do some very nasty stuff.
I added white just for Roc Egg  so I can call it Bacon and Eggs. Good times.

I had 12 extort creatures in my Orzhov deck, and six removals, including a Merciless Eviction  which turned the game around for me on multiple occasions. I ended up going 3-0-1 (no time at the shop for more than four rounds.) I don't know if people were talking too much about my deck, apart from one of my opponents telling the guy sitting next to me, "He's using extort far more efficiently than I am." I ended up placing 3rd out of 59, thanks to a generous concession from my opponent in the last game with 40 seconds to go. (Don't ask me about Saturday, when I played Simic. I had fun with the deck, but just didn't have the removal I would have liked to have.) Every match I played was a grind-fest, though, since that's what Orzhov does best. It was the most grueling day of magic I've ever played. (Though I didn't play against Gruul :D ) Two matches went down to the wire or overtime, one finished with less than five minutes on the clock. A fun, but exhausting day.

There was a fire. Big one.
Went Orzhov and in my first match get paired against a really agressive Boros deck, gets me down to 15ish on turn 3. Turn 4 I play Alms Beast  , turn 5 Gift of Orzhova  and he had no answer for it.
I mean literally a house was on fire across the street.
Wow, your prerelease was holding the Juri Revue across the street? Great lengths, my friend! Great lengths!
