There are of course also Magic: The Gathering decks that can do that on a lucky first hand.

My favorite is this one, which in the abstract can do literally anything a computer can do. Yes, You can in theory run Crysis on a Magic deck. During your opponent's turn.

I never really played MtG, but I love reading about degenerate combos. My favourite uses an unglued (or un- something) card that can remove any card with a silver border you can see from your seat from play. Doesn't have to be a card in the game you're playing, other people nearby as valid targets.

The silver border part makes sure it can only be played on other silly un- cards, but there's a combo with a card allowing to change a colour in an effect to something else, meaning with a bit of support from a few other cards you could technically use this to nuke all cards in all unrelated games around you.

I had a buddy with a Belcher deck and I loooooved watching him win on his first turn.

That's a fun one.

I have an Illusions of Grandeur/Donate deck that can't do first turn, but can take someone out all at once (if I'm super lucky, like all my decks it very rarely wins)

Hahaha that sounds fun too!

My favorites that I made were an actually good legacy elf deck that could win on turn 2-3 with Staff of Domination or Emrikul (my favorites, some other good wincons too) and my very casual but mean Memory Jar/Megrim deck that I used when I was playing people who didn’t have proper legacy decks. The megrim deck was like 15 years ago, before I got into competitive Magic hahaha
