Cheating or not?
from UDE's Player Management Forums
A Player at my local tournament has been winning alot recently, but what we call "Rulessharking" other players. For example, at the latest tournament it went like so:
Player A activates Heavy Storm
Player B activates Dark Bribe
Player A activates Solemn Judgement
Player B activates Solemn Judgement.
chain resolves: Solemn negates Solemn > Dark Bribe negates Heavy Storm.
here, player A should draw a card for dark bribe, but doesn't. Player B, the player in question waits for player A to end his turn, he then draws his card for his turn and immediately calls a judge and trys to get a gameloss under the "Mandatory game state effect" rule. This is what happens quite often with this player. Could this player be disqualified for cheating, since he admits "I had to wait to draw my card for my turn before I could call a judge." since its both players requirement to remember mandatory game states, and he obviously did, but chose not to because he was losing and wanted to get a double game loss?
Also, my ruling for that situation was "Since nothing else has happned, and its a reversable effect, Player A will draw the card from dark bribe, and play will continue from there." Was this ruling correct?
