Well, that's the task judges are charged with, and they do catch cheaters. There's likely one or more DQs at every SCG Open, and maybe half a dozen at a GP. The more senior and experienced judges that are better at catching cheats are in shorter supply, but there is always at least one L3 at a SCG Legacy Open (the HJ is usually a L2 last I knew) and the HJ of Standard Opens is L3 or even L4/L5.
It's frustrating to see a level 2 judge be so unconcerned with how stupidly unfair the current system for rewinding gamestates and punishing mistakes is.

I can cheat or "make mistakes" and win because of the rules we have now. People should be given game losses for making such huge, game altering mistakes. Especially when they result in colossally unfair advantages for the person who made the critical error... this seems to be fine with you? Because to me and everyone else (it seems like) it is one of the most backwards and wrong things about this game.

Feel free to ignore this post too though
