Classic - Almost hardcasted a Blightsteel Colossus

While playing my round 2 of the CQ league (lost rnd 1), I came across a situation where I could almost hardcast a Blightsteel Colossus if not only for the fact that Dark Confidant flipped Tezzeret the Seeker and put me in a really dangerous spot at 3 life and me having to win 2 flips to Mana Crypt and not flip anything 3cc and greater in order to win.
 
So I used Tezzeret the seeker to untap the Time Vault, passed the turn, survived both Bob and Mana Crypt before using Tezz's ultimate and beating my opponent. I was thinking of how I should try to survive but nothing between Sensei's Divining Top (to not die to Bob) or Engineered Explosives (to pop the Mana Crypt) would have been able to stop the potential Triskelion (2x in the opp's deck) if I passed the turn so I went for the safest option which was to hope to not die to Mana Crypt.
 

Game 2, I was in a very odd game state where I searched up a Voltaic Key with Time Vault in hand but my opponent plays a Tangle Wire...


So throughout my infinite turns, I had to figure out how to tap my cards and not die to Mana Crypt. Mana Vault was surprisingly useful since I could tap mana then tap my cards to Tangle Wire then untap it because it triggered on the upkeep as well.
Eventually I got to a point whereby I did not have to really worry about Mana Crypt (because I could pop my Engineered Explosives) but I left it in play to help advance my board position (annoying Tangle Wire). The great Tinker came a few turns later to allow me to crash with BS Colossus for the kill.

Turbotezz is so good vs Workshops when it works. (Died horribly to workshops in round 1)
