Here's a fun story from PT:San Diego. Six of us were playing an EDH game. I don't remember everyone involved, but here's the fun stuff.
The player two seats to my right was playing Jhoira as his general and using her ability to crank out dragons via suspend at a very scary rate. A few more turns passed (and a couple more dragons came in), and the player to my right played Tombstone Stairwell. Zombies started coming and going, dragons started attacking people. After a rotation of this, Toby Elliot cast Cultural Exchange. He's apparently built his EDH deck around this card and somehow never managed to cast it... until now! On resolution, he chooses all the dragons commanded by Jhoira, trading them for the same number of zombies he controlled from Tombstone Stairwell. We were all highly amused at the notion of a cultural exchange between zombies and dragons... and the best part was that the zombies all got destroyed at EOT.

GP Denver, Scott L. and I are the last two alive from our EDH table; I'm running Sliver Overlord as usual, but I don't remember which general Scott had. I just remember that I was getting a swarm of slivers built up and he was gaining silly amounts of life...
...and then I peeled Mirror Entity and attacked for something like 78...
Unrelated to that, at the SCG $5k in Richmond last year, the players foolishly left me alone while I assembled one of the Timmy-est combos ever:
Forbidden Orchard animated (Vivify, I think), Intruder Alarm - so each time I tap FO for mana, the Alarm untaps it; Dingus Staff and AEther Flash. Unfortunately, someone wiped out either the Staff or the Flash before I resolved the Vivify. Instead, I just made a bunch of mana, Stroke of Genius myself to draw my deck, then Rolling Thunder divided as necessary (with Force of Will and other backups, of course).

When a player playing a Mind’s Desire deck flipped over a fifth Mind’s Desire, while resolving his combo, there was much concern and a serious investigation was about to be launched. That is until I noticed that the cards from latest Minds’ desire resolution had different sleeves, in fact they were the color the opponent’s sleeves. Yes, it was a mirror match.
