In this episode Bryan and Samma take a super serious look at all the infractions of the IPG and rank them based on our scientific criteria of “whatever we feel like at the moment”. Join us as we durdle our way through the infractions and post your own rankings. But if you disagree with us, we will argue with you, because we are subjectively correct.

On this episode, we cover quite a bit of news and policy updates! So much, that we have to bring special guest Erik Aliff on to help! Some mysterious changes to hidden card error, some tweaks to looking at extra cards, and some exciting changes to deck decklist error! If you’re not excited about minor policy tweaks then honestly what can you be excited for?
We also cover some changes in the MTR, like the new “you can only pile shuffle at the start of a game” rule.
And we read a few policy related e-mails from listeners just like you or who are you.

We spend this episode going over a mish-mash of policy updates and news!
First, we cover some of the new IPG updates. Nothing earth-shattering, but some new changes to HCE, tweaks to Missed Trigger, some clarifications on DDLP downgrades, and some changes to the MTR which apparently ruined Magic!
After that we cover the L2 Tester position and how you can certify for it. We also welcome a new Program Coordinator to the program!

New set, new IPG, new infractions!
We go in depth on Hidden Card Error and how it looks now. It’s much more clear and generally we’re all a lot happier with it, and you will be too after you listen to us!
We also cover a brand new infraction – Mulligan Procedure Error. And throw in some other odds and ends like minor changes to GRV, D/DLP, and the MTR.
