JudgeCast #381 – Deck Problems

Posted on by

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we talk about the Deck Problem penalty from the IPG.
This infraction describes how we handle things when a players deck doesn’t match what they intended to play.
Have you ever had a player call you over because:

  • They had a sideboard card in their opening hand?
  • They had an opponents card in their deck?
  • They had lost a card and couldn’t find it?

We talk about how to handle all those situations, AND MORE!!

We also talk about the penalty philosophy and how and why its changed from a Game Loss to a warning, and how to tell if your accidental mistake is actually cheating.
