I made a play mistake once (playing a sorcery as an instant because I didn't read the card closely enough) and rather than point out the mistake my opponent just shouted JUDGE into the aether to summon them to rule on the situation. Personally I probably would have preferred saying "hey that's a sorcery" to which I could respond "oh poo poo, sorry, my bad" rather than stall things out for the judge to work their way over to say it, but so it goes.

Historically a lot of cheaters have been guys who made these types of sloppy play errors a lot but somehow only in their own favour, if you call a judge then they might notice a pattern emerging

Or you can try and get your opponent enough warnings for a game loss

But in general I think you should not consider calling a judge to be a big deal because that's why they're there

I once had a guy call a judge over and insist I be DQ'd at an FNM because

He swung at me with a phantasm image equipped with a runepike
I blocked with my phyrexian obliterator and he then had to sac like 10 permanent

He argued that I should have made him sac the phantasmal image when he equipped the pike the previous turn and allowed the board state to become unrecoverable. Which yeah I should have but that was my first time playing in 15 years and barely got that equipment were a thing now.

This was the same FNM I had to spend a match listening to an opponent complain I was using Venser sleeves for a BG fight deck. I didn't go back to that store.

from an idealist standpoint no, but they've shown preference for taking the shortest possible path. pioneer has a smaller card pool than modern and would be easier to implement, with pioneer masters having even previously been on the teams roadmap before being removed in favor of the historic/alchemy mutation were saddled with. i'd much prefer modern but i think the distance it takes to get to a playable format is shorter for pioneer than anything else.

This owns. I had won a pack of magic sleeves with some planeswalker on them, used it to sleeve up a R/G deck. Whatever Standard season this was years ago, someone was running a deck with maindeck Pithing Needles so when they dropped one early game1, they named the planeswalker, which I didn't run.

The best part is if he knowingly equipped the Pike onto his illusion hoping you wouldn't notice and then called a judge when it was no longer benefitted him that is capital-c Cheating and (i think?) would get you DQd at any level of tournament.

As I understand it, with the current tournament rules it's cheating to intentionally ignore your own triggered abilities, but if you accidentally forget it the opponent doesn't have to point it out.

Pretty much. Cheating by Magic rules definition requires intent. So intentionally not acknowledging a self detrimental trigger would fall under that. Of course, it's always hard to prove intent, and humans are definitely not infallible and will miss stuff(I've missed plenty of triggers in my time playing the game), so proper judges dont really throw around the word cheating all that easily.

The fun thing is that even if you did notice it you're allowed to forget your opponent's triggers.

quote:

To repeat an earlier annotation, players are never responsible for remembering their opponent’s triggers. Players are allowed to remain quiet about triggers controlled by an opponent being missed, even if the triggered ability would do something harmful to its controller. There is never a time when a player should be issued an infraction, be it Unsporting Conduct — Cheating, Game Play Error — Failure to Maintain Game State, etc., for either accidentally or intentionally not calling attention to an opponent’s missed trigger. Players do not have to help their opponents beat them; however, they cannot trick their opponents into missing triggers.
But assuming that wasn't the case, and it was your responsibility to keep track of the trigger (and it isn't. But what if), then yes intentionally ignoring it is cheating. Of course this requires us to read your mind to prove the intent, and that's very hard to do.

quote:

Players are expected to remember their own triggered abilities; intentionally ignoring one may be Unsporting Conduct — Cheating (unless the ability would have no impact on the game as described above).

Tabernacle gives people a choice, if they don't pay their creatures die. If they proceed to the draw step without paying then the trigger hasn't been missed, they just refused to pay the upkeep.

With Tabernacle or Pacr I usually do try to give some form of heads up. There are players out there that genuinely do not know the correct order of the phases and I always try to err on the side of sportsmanship with those 2 in particular.

The rules just don't work that way anymore. If your opponent draws a card, its no longer a gotcha, you call a judge and the judge makes them pay the price or sacrifice and the game moves on.

Oh poo poo really? I think that is much better than what it used to be. I always hated it when I played a Tabernacle and had to warn the other player that their creatures now have an upkeep and I don't have to remind him to pay it. How do they handle additional info being given by the drawing of a card in this situation?

When the trigger is considered detrimental the penalty is upgraded to a warning:

If the triggered ability is usually considered detrimental for the controlling player and they own the card responsible for the existence of the trigger, the penalty is a Warning.
