That one was nice. Underlines my repeated point that cheating is at least as important as playskill to secure top table finishes in events.

Or explain how he became national champion '08 in the first place.

All in all its just one more sad incident in regards to paper mtg and it's issues with sleight of hand tricks. The list of big...

I was very amused about his explanation about what happened and why, especially as it's not the first time he was caught pulling off some shit. This time however it was just blatant. Looking forward...

Yeah, such a coincidence to "forget siding out" your Reanimator-hate when playing against G1 against reanimator, then elaborate that your "preboarding" is thankfully hard to spot for your opponent as...

If your games integrity is in jeopardy for years due to cheating ... pardon ... sloppy play on the top tables and some of the games most known faces are cheaters, the Problem is quite obvious.
...

I am just reading the same "I didnt plan to cheat", "its just sloppy play" and other shit once again, like I did years ago.

It would be less hilarious if he wasn't got caught pulling of more shit...

The only surprising thing is that after all this time he hasnt moved on and away from the game.

I have a militant stance on the matter: If you near always top 8/16 in large events of hundred of...

Done. Using Twitter to contact Helene for cheats on camera always worked out for me in the past to report cheats.

Of Course! Ended up in a roundtable between my opponent, the judge, the HJ and me. As the judge told his bullshit (there were several warnings and altered game decisions involved) while his buddy...

There are. I just wanted to hint that conflict of interrests is something judges are susceptible to like everyone else

I did. Long story short: You can't win against a judge and his playing buddy in a national championship.

Do you expect anything different, if you are at the tables with a SCG Posterchild and a Judge payed by SCG at the same time? Isn't there an obvious conflict of interrests to foresee? Have you ever...

nah, fetch a Strip Mine xD

Oh! So it's fine if I fetch for Gaea's Cradle just because it looks like my FOIL Forest at first if I try to not look at it hard enough? I'm fine with tapping it for the green mana turn 1 only ;)

"native" ... well, that's a nice spin on "gaining extra mana while playing combo"

Ah! Now I know. Heared about Specks custom grips and presenting a 53-card deck which caused me to ponder here about the possibilities to cheat with the SB, just couldn't link the issue to the name.
...

Dear gentlemen,

could you pleaye quickly update me about what happened with those two players involved?

The reason is that Alex was a) less often on Camera since his suspension and b) he stopped pulling off the blatant cheats on camera. Most reports were by eye witnesses and floor judges this time and...

And I quote:

Alex B. would play 2 ... just to be sure.



Soooo juicy. Make this a Wallpaper

Boom! Right in his face of "my case was cleared!"

The Raging Quirion ... erm ... Elvish Visionary! XD

Looks like I phrased it indeed that way or missed a "not" to express what I had in mind, but it's clearly not ment in terms of "picking up a deck, go to a tournament, win money, go home, repeat". I...

I said, you have to perform outstanding to make a living. I did NOT say that the price money alone is enough unless you T16 most of the SCG Opens/PT/PTQ/GP you enter. I'm not interrested in...

You think it's possible to play "a few hundred" 100+ players events in those timepans? I doubt there are nearly enough held over the year. Linking to the pro Tour payouts and a section to "Making a...
