      I would agree with you except for the judges immediate body language bent over the table and repeated touching of the disruptive player.
      The touching especially is not great at all for deescelating someone who is angry. The tone of voice and body language immediately expressed "I'm the authority, so why am I here?" vs. "I understand you have an issue, hopefully we can resolve it together."
      Obviously the left actor was being a douchenozzle and in this scenario obviously wasn't going to calm down, but if this was a real life scenario there wasn't really any deescalation, but simply a display and use of authority.

      @mickbarnes1147 2 роки тому +12

      Actually there are a lot of ways that you can "de-randomize" a deck through a pile shuffle but there are typically indicators that will tell you as much. When shuffling there are ways to peak what's sitting at your splits and players have even gone as far as to "deface" sleeves to know what their next draws are. Something as simple as nail dents on sleeves that would be hard to notice unless you were looking for them and that can be done. When I was playing competitively I've heard that being used multiple times and these people were only caught because of a deck check by the judges during later rounds. There are even multiple ways that you can shuffle a deck to know what's where if you stack the deck in between rounds. It's stupid but when someone thinks money or fame is on the line then that's when dumb shit like that happens.

    • @foobot2439

      @Derael 2 роки тому +2

      If it was random to begin with, it can't. But if it wasn't random, and you know the order before shuffling, it will still not be random after pile shuffle, that's the point. And if it's already random, there is no need to pile shuffle it. So pile shuffle should never happen to begin with (counting a deck is an exception, but at that point it's hardly a "shuffle").

      @fermitupoupon1754 Рік тому

      The only thing I can think of where pile shuffling makes the deck less random, is when you do it face up to "re-seed" the deck. I have a rather jank deck which is really fun to play, but it does this thing where it sorts the library. So like going from turn 8 or 9 onwards I know exactly what the next 6, 7, 8 cards that I am going to draw are going to be. But this also has the side effect that it piles all the land at the bottom of the library.
      With all the lands at a single clump, it becomes a frustrating process to shuffle the deck enough times that the lands are again evenly distributed throughout the deck for the next game. So I do an open pile "shuffle" to "re-seed" the deck to a playable state. After which it needs much less actual shuffling to get it to a randomised state again. Yes it could be done by shuffling the deck normally for 10 minutes. or just take a minute to re-seed and then shuffle a couple of times and be done with it in 2 or 3 minutes.
      And even that kind of re-seeding isn't cheating provided you actually shuffle afterwards and allow the opponent to cut/shuffle upon presenting.

    • @maicowieles8746
      @maicowieles8746 Місяць тому

      There was a big storm about pile shuffling a few years ago. The point is: it doesn't add randomness, it adds a pattern. So if you wanted to you could backtrack the shuffle and the cards would be in the exact starting position as before the pile shuffle.
      Simple fix: instead of going a fixed direction from pile to pile, randomize each time. No way anyone will remember in what order the cards were added, let alone do it backwards to "prove it isn't random". Or just mash shuffle the piles together afterwards.
      Real reason for pile shuffling to be limited to only once per game is what Nikachu eluded to: it takes too long; 10 seconds of mash shuffling will result in the same (maybe even more) randomness as 2 min of pile shuffling.

    When a game just makes you angry or sad, maybe its time to take a break and ask you the question, if this game is still worth to be played. I think when a game lets you struggle emotionally in that way, you have to change yourself and your life.

    I had a match, final round at FNM. The other guy came in early and had a massive card collection he was trading. Everyone was impressed. His deck was a net deck from the latest GP. I was trying to be friendly and talked to him, it was just FNM it's for fun not competition. Towards the end of the game he tells me I'm not allowed to talk, it was rude and I figured he'd be hurt if I focused on the game, I lost game 1. He comes into game 2 and, despite the fact that he told me "You're not allowed to talk" he was bad mouthing me and my deck. He overextends round 2, I wipe and kill him. Game 3, he's going on about how much better his deck is than mine and there's no way I will win this match, I stayed quiet. He's holding back seeing I have the mana for the board wip but I'm dropping just enough where I'll kill him unless he drops. So he drops and starts screaming at me, you have it, don't you. You were lucky and blah blah. I let him rant and show him the wipe then drop my hand, he was in top deck mode. He scoops the cards into a box and runs out, I get him to tell him he needed to pick up his prize. The whole time he's talking anout how there was no way I should have won that game, I pointed out when you net deck a recent winning deck of course people will have solutions.

    Last FNM game 2, I was playing Merfolk vs. Tron. In both games, I was able to Tide Shaper/Spreading Seas one of their Tron lands on curve and aggro them out to victory. I said "Good Game" after the second game, to which the Tron player responded with "NO!" and then angrily slammed down their hand, revealing an Ugin, the Spirit Dragon.
    Like, I'm sorry your deck doesn't have any interaction aside from big mana spells. As a Tron player, you should expect hate in games 2 and 3 and play around it, especially vs. Merfolk/any other deck that wants Spreading Seas. Don't get mad at me for playing the game, and don't be a sore loser at FNM perpetuating the man-child MTG player stereotype.

  • @jedstanaland2897
    @jedstanaland2897 2 роки тому +4

    I can sometimes not understand why or how a combination works and I was a judge at one point in time. Everyone can be make mistakes but if you make a mistake in a tournament as a judge you can also allow someone to win who wouldn't have before. That said there are many times when you should not trust your own judgment in a tournament and that is typically when you are a player and especially when you are making a decision about something that is in your favor or when you are making a decision that can change a potential loss into a win. For example if you had a card that allows you to look at your opponents hand and make them discard a card that you choose and its not in English or the correct language for where you are playing you must have a good and accurate translation of the card. Especially if you're in a paid tournament. The event I'm talking about happened when I was in high school and there was not a easy way to validate the translation of any card or anything else like that. At this point in time discard decks were huge and especially when they allow you to target any or most of the cards that were in the opponents hand. Well I was facing an opponent who had a decent discard deck and I was playing my only deck that I thought had a chance in the tournament and I won all three games against that person. But they were using lots of cards that were not in English and most of them the player said did one of two things either your opponent would discard a card that you choose or discard a large number of cards something like three or more and all of this for a single black mana.I knew that something was wrong with this and I was right about that the shop owner was in the habit of fleecing young card players who didn't know any better. He would have the same one person always show up with cards that were never in English and they were not used combination to win and him and the shop owner would split up the money. My friends and I were very pissed about this because we had spent a large amount of money with the store However that weekend he only had us and the non--English card user who was simply there to help him basically steal money from kids. The cards that the person was using that don't exist all cost one mana to play and they allow you to make your opponent discard anywhere from one to four cards at instant speed and then with the cards that discard one and two cards you can choose which cards are discarded and there are no cards that allow you to do That.
