Decklists and Deck Checks at Challenges

But once a warning is given out in organized play, a second offense incurs a penalty.

THAT is the reason why judges should be informed of every "fishy" thing some people do. So the next time they do it (and they will), there's a downside for them.

Its really me this time and i apoligize for being so harsh.

But it just seems like a or a warning doesn't do anyhting. Which is true. Its like dealing whith children.(which in most cases your are) What happens when you just say don't do it agian. They go right back out and do it. PUI should have sometype of penalty guide line regarding not setting out your prizes. MAybe a prize penelty or at least something more than just "Don't do it agian"

Well the penalties do escalate.
Things that are honest mistakes and are fixable I'm pretty forgiving over.
I do agree that there needs to be some intermediate penalty for appropriate situations.
 
About not placing the prizes- The way i look at it is the very second someone draws a card whith out placing their prizes they completly change the out come of the game. Taht one card could be just what they needed to get their deck started or if they later pick cards randomly to set as prizes one of those cards could be what they needed. So it COMPLETLY changes the game. So a little more than just a "don't do it agian" should be used and thats all ive ever seen been done
 
Why? Was their deck not random? Was it stacked so that the card they drew was a specific card?

If not, then it is a minor procedural error.
 
If a card is not in the prizes where it should be your opponent has more of a chance to get that card where if it was in the prizes it would be much harder to get. I know there are many tiimes the first prize i set down could have help so if i would have "forgotten" to place my prizes it could have completly changed the out come of the game.
 
That only applies if they used a search effect and searched for a card.
If it was just a draw of their first card, it's just a random card.
Key word: Random.
Random means random.
If the deck is random, it doesn't really matter if they drew to top card or the 2nd card or the 7th card.
It's random.

Now, it's still a procedural error and gets a Caution (or higher if not the first error), but it, by itself, is not a major error.
