Sparta: That is NOT what either I or MrMeches said.
Please read what was said again and let us know what words are giving you difficulty.
As Pop just said (he always gets there first) you would be risking a situation of "Dubious Actions" which could result in a DQ if felt by the Judges. SO the question is the single spot worth a possible DQ?? IMHO, not worth the risk.
The part of his post that seems to be giving YOU problems, oh wise and mighty PokePop, would be.
Is the single spot worth a possible DQ?
Perhaps you would care to explain it then.
We did not say that putting the card in the deck is a "dubious action". What we are saying is that it would be very easy to slip and say something along the lines of "I wonder if my Dusknoir is in my prizes" and that THAT would put you on the wrong side of the line.
I don't know why it's being taken as threatening talk.
It was actually a very friendly "heads up" to be careful when you are walking on the line of what legal and what's not.
Like I said, as described, this is on the right side of legal.
One wrong word, though, and you're on the wrong side.
You have to decide if it's worth it for the risk of mis-speaking that one word.
I'd say that those of you having trouble comprehending where the line is and why one word makes such a big difference, you should stay FAR away from this tactic since you apparantly can't see where the line is and will probably fall onto the wrong side without realizing it.
What would really stink is if your opponent asked if your Dusknoir is prized.
no matter what you answer, you end up coming to the conclusion of you have your Dusknoir prized.

At Nats someone had a Dusknoir outside of the deck with some other cards. Obviously meant to look like a translation. His bluff worked, as I NEVER (not even when up 5-1 on prizes) put down a fourth Pokemon. After beating him he was like "A lot of good that did, eh?". We lolled.
If that had been brought to the attention of the judges, that player would have gotten a game loss, at least.
A player WAS given a Game Loss at Worlds for exactly this.
Beware. Judges will be on the look out for this kind of thing this year. It should not be tolerated at local events because it will not be tolerated at high level events.
As noted, any discussion that your opponent initiates about the Duskull and the assumed Dusknoir is fraught with very high risk for the person using this gambit. Making any kind of representation about a Dusknoir is very dangerous.

Wasn't he DQ'd?If that had been brought to the attention of the judges, that player would have gotten a game loss, at least.

I made a better bluff last year with my gg. I was playing some japanese cards, and taked english cards for translations.
I kept Dusknoir for the translations and it worked with people that knew it ^^.
