Why is no one discussing this?

Yeah, because Magic solely revolves around shuffling. :rolleyes:

Julian cheatyface. Never forget. :tongue:

Mistakes happen, but honestly, if you play such decks where it is hard to track stuff, YOU should make sure everything is easily trackable.
I love...

Exactly.

You contradict yourself. On the one hand you say "only playing mtg" and on the other hand you talk about "sponsorships/writing/whatnot". Make your mind up.

So how much "salary" is this per month? You do realize these articles don't pay the rent unless you are one of the really few people on top of the game. For everyone else it's pocket money.

21...

Again: Who does that? Who makes a living out of the winnings from playing MTG? Who makes top16 in every event they play in?

Well, you quoted me and posted "Both Groups of players do. The difference is that one money finish in a ETP or smaller is enough to make a living for quite a while and you have nothing like this in...

So everybody being successful in MTG is a cheater? Please, listen to yourself. Might some of them cheat? Sure, but just because they are significantly better (or finish better for that matter) I am...

Dunno about you, but I watch my opponents shuffling (my deck) exactly for that reason. If I catch them glancing or being suspicious I tell them to not peek. If they do it again, I tell a judge....

So Bertoncini counts as "all the time"?

Lol, not your fault. ^^

Problem is, most people aren't the "experienced" ones. That's not the only issue, though. I know several people who play Miracles at a fast pace, but sometimes the deck...

In GP Ghent's side-event I played against a Miracle player who took minutes to rearrange his lands (clearly slow-play, but I didn't care much at that time and just told him to speed up after doing it...

I mostly agree with Phoenix Ignition, but MODO has the disadvantage of not allowing shortcuts. For example "going infinite" with Pod or Kiki-Jiki, which steal a significant amount of time (e.g. when...

If it gets caught (and they call a judge), the judge will hand out warnings or infractions.

I don't think you should get a gameloss for every mistake, unless you repeat those mistakes...
