I would question whether a major game play error is appropriate here. The deck is still random, the cut produced another random deck, no more likely to favor one player over another. Its an error, but I don't see how the game state is broken at all here.

Does Tyrantrum Ex with special energy on it ignore Assault Vest's damage reduction due to its ability or is the damage reduced? I'm thinking it does due to the way G-Booster ignored Silver Mirror, but there are differences in Trex scenario that may make a difference here.

When Mewtwo attacks with Photon Wave, which reduces damage by 30 next turn and Seismitoad Ex with Muscle Band plays Quaking Punch, does QP do zero or 20? I seem to recall something about when base damage is reduced to zero, MB cannot add, but I'm not sure about the order of the damage...

Do attacks like Shred and Tyrantum's Despotic Fang go through it for the OHKO?

Player searches deck for an N, tosses it on the field. Inattentive opponent shuffles hand back into deck. Ruling: DGL. Player left an N on the field, opponent did not maintain game state. Player should not have left N in the "play area". Now, for the last 2 years, the proper play of a...

Not so sure about this ruling. There is language used on several cards along the lines of "Do xxx. If you do, then ...." This just says do this, THEN do that. As long as one of the actions is possible, the game state is affected by the play of the card and the play is legal. I look forward...

This was kind of the crux of my inquiry. Are people so overwhelmed with Standard that they have no creative energy for Extended? When you consider some of the highly creative decks we've seen in Cities, it would be disappointing if all Extended meant was putting a few Dark Patches in Yveltal.

Another solution is for the round to be about 30+3 rather than exactly 30 +3. At the timekeeper's discretion, add or subtract up to 30 s from the round, so it cannot be timed. Vary randomly over the day. If you need to know the time to better than a minute, you are doing something you...

In top cut, Player A counts his deck from the top down, reversing the order of the cards. His stated intent was to play a Colres next and he was counting to assure himself he would not deck out. The judge ruled it a shuffle without the use of a card effect and issued a prize card penalty...

Please post info on the Retro deck tournament. What format is it in? We may need to build or borrow and only have a few days. Thanks, Edit: Just spoke with Top Cut Comics. They will be supplying the decks for the Retro event. See y'all in Chicago.

Who has actually run a league challenge in extended? How was attendance? What kind of decks showed up? What sort of decks did well?

I went to league and the LL taught me. What helped the most was internet articles and deck lists so I could learn deck construction. Hardest was understanding the metagame and how a deck could be good sometimes and at other times was bad for nothing that has to do with the deck itself.

And how often is this an issue that we need more nonsense rules for it? If you are the one that is color-blind and you run into this all the time, I apologize, but still how many opponents would not just switch to whatever you needed at first mention?

Put this on the list of things for which there is no good counter: A turn 2 Blastoise A Turn 1 Plasma Gale A Turn 1 Night Spear Fortunately these things are not common, for any build of these decks

The World Championship, Day 1 sounds better to me.

So not only was Sudden Death not done correctly, but the game should never have gone to Sudden Death in the first place. The player with 3 prize cards left to his opponent's 6 should just have won at the end of Turn 3.

Best of 3 in Top 4. The table judge ruled that game 3 was not complete as 4 prizes had not been taken. The game had to go to sudden death with no re-setup. He ruled that the game had to continue and the next person to take a prize wins. I brought it to the head judge who concurred. The...

Jack and Joey were playing in a Cities in Top 4. Jack has 3 prizes left and Joey has six. At the end of turn 3 Joey is to play. If he KO's a Pokemon, he loses as 4 prizes will have been taken and he loses 3 prizes to 5. How does this make any sense? He does not take a prize and the game...

This. One can easily set up a series of alarms via a phone app that vibrate. What are you going to do, check players pockets every round? Its getting ridiculous; lets just let the time be known.

Ive heard this from a number of people, but its just wrong. Day 1 is not the LCQ. First of all, the LCQ used to have a bunch of parents and visitors and that is no longer the case. Everyone playing has at least 300 CP so its a much tougher field. Second, you can lose a match or even two...
