To me a DQ just depends on the mana the user could produce at that moment. Me: so you started to cast a spell and then just didn't legally complete the casting making the casting illegal so that it gets undone, except for Selvala's mana ability which gives you a particular card that would have otherwise been shuffled away after you completed your search? So you did an illegal action that you were aware of to gain an advantage of drawing a card that you wouldn't have otherwise drawn? IPG 4.8 - Unsporting Conduct Cheating - A person breaks a rule defined by the tournament documents, lies to a Tournament Official, or notices an offense committed in their (or a teammate’s) match and does not call attention to it.Īdditionally, the offense must meet the following criteria for it to be considered Cheating: The player must be attempting to gain advantage from their action AND the player must be aware that they are doing something illegal.JAR - Serious Problems - Knowingly breaking or letting an opponent break game or tournament rules, or lying, in order to gain an advantage.If you're playing casually with friends outside of a sanctioned event, sure.ĭoing it in a sanctioned event is cheating and will get you DQed.
