    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 just quietly nodded and I disagreed with that story, the judge accused me lying to the HJ. That was a nice ending of a tournament I plowed through the 7 rounds before. Wasn't a MTG tournament though, just to mention.

    The semi-pro roshambo circuit needs to get their judges straight?

    Nope, he did.

    He even motioned towards drawing, then dredging and STILL drew, and no1 (!?!?) caught it.

    Good catch, that was actaully a rather well executed cheat. Even if by some miracle he actually did draw that card by mistake I bet he noticed it as he kind of paused then checked his hand and then played the Loamwithout moving it to his hand, thus making two hand notions that would reveal drawing two cards.

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

    That entire match is full of odd things, such as Cohen not bouncing for his bounce lands when they have been Ghost Quarter'd in response to the Amulet trigger (to the point I was surprised he didn't accumulate enough warnings to get a game loss). The chat was raging pretty hard at some point about an extra land being played at some point as well, no clue if that really happened or someone said it and everybody repeated it. Might be worth looking into.

    Also, slow play, but apparently nobody cares about that.

    Re: Magic - the Cheatering

    source is basically this guy, but also the comments are somewhat enlightning.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1IbhxIqCh8

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zo10UKm2sw

    but when you search for cheats there are quite a few more.

    what interesting is, that basically all cheats are either drawing extra cards or "tutor" cards via fetchlands. Actually another good reason to ban them, but thats a parallel discussion that belongs into the banthread.

    He is a known troll. Like, got an article posted to the Daily Stormer kind of troll. There is a bunch of history about him here.

    Anything he says should be ignored unless you can find other evidence to back up his claims. It's not he claimed there where a bunch of pedos in the judge program without any evidence. Oh wait...
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    ok thanks, back to topic then.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/co...jq&sh=246f2acc

    alex got a warning for marked cards. considering his history its very likely not coincidence and that he is still not banned for life is kinda strange as well.

    also saito has some rumors going.

    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 players in a game full of RNG, you have to be a cheater by default.

    Re: Magic - the Cheatering

    Ive got a friend who has made it to the worlds and he qualified on mtgo (where cheating is impossible) and almost exclusively played there and made it to T8 pretty often in big events. He is also pretty good on paper events and almost always went T16. And I know for sure he doesnt cheat, because we actually discussed if we should start working on our cheating skills to stand a chance (back in 2013 when i opened this topic), but we are way too afraid of getting caught.

    So yeah, I dont think every good player is cheating and some are just very lucky on RNG it seems, but Im also pretty sure that a lot of pros play to the extend of the rules, which are very kind in regards to errors.
