In YGO, there's a card called "Nibiru, the Primal Being" which, if your opponent summons 5 or more monsters that turn, you can tribute all the monsters on the field, summon Nibiru, and give a token to your opponent that is big as all the ATK/DEF of all tributed monsters. It's a board breaker. I think (and i could be wrong) that what MBT meant to say is that is illegal to count the summons of your opponent without Nibiru in you deck, technically saying "if you summon 5 monsters, you're done for" and preventing him for keep their combo or whatever is doing.

@@WhiteBorderMTG The counting summons thing is a very subtle issue. Technically, there's nothing wrong with counting the summons to yourself, even if it's just because you're curious as to how many summons they will perform. What's illegal would be trying to imply to your opponent that you have a Nibiru in your hand so that they play around it by not summoning more than 4 times. That's why the rules have that "intent" clause. The reason you did it is what determines if it was cheating or not. That being said, if you're in the middle of a tournament and you are counting out loud every time your opponent summons, or you ask your opponent how many times they've summoned this turn, it might be a bit difficult to convince a judge that you were not trying to telegraph Nibiru.

Dropping by as a magic player that has frequently played at tournaments. LSVs play received only little blowback at the time - most people understood it as a version of the so-called "pen-trick" that is mentioned in the original video by PleasentKenobi. The "Pen-Trick" in magic is essentially picking up the pen to indicate that you expect your life total to change now signaling no interaction on your end and therefore luring an opponent into overextending into the interaction you have. This trick is super common. In my own experience these tricks and mindgames are an integral part of the game. Watching this video and the one by MBT makes me realize that by YGO standards I break the rules many times each game. From bluffing interaction to misleadingly asking my opponent to clarify the number of cards in their graveyard to bluff a certain card to talking to a teammate in a team event in a language I know my opponent doesnt speak and sprinkling in an English card name as though I had said it by accident only for them to think they picked up on something and then play around a card I don't have in my hand. I have talked many people into making bad plays. The psychological warfare above the board is the main reason why I love paper magic so much in comparison to online magic.

I think this was covered in the original video, but I think in Magic there's the difference between manipulating "known information" and "unknown information". Messing around with known information, like say intentionally or unintentionally missing a trigger for something that you control that would leave you in a disadvantageous place(advantageous triggers are your responsibility and "optional" even if wording on cards says otherwise), or trying to bend what cards actually do, is a rules violation. The trigger effects are things that directly impact the game state, and because of that if you intentionally ignore a negative effect, you're cheating to not pay the cost of whatever benefit you got from that card. Then with "unknown information" that pretty much just relates to cards that haven't been revealed yet. So stuff that's in your hand, deck, or a few mechanics in MTG that let you place cards face down, either on the field, or in exile (removed from game). Sometimes this information can become known through card effects that let you look at an opponents hand, forces them to reveal something, or a few instances where you can search their deck for cards. Also in regards to those face down cards you do have to reveal them at the end of the game to prove they have the effect that lets them be face down. There's also the thing of people knowing one another's deck list. However, that knowledge is only known until the game state changes. Decks get shuffled, cards get drawn, etc. At that point any new changes become "unknown" and in the same way you might play around the two new cards your opponent drew since you used the spell that let you look at their hand, they get to bluff whatever it is they have in hand, or what they might play because of it. I will say I understand why Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't treat this quite the same, and I think that's because MTG is a resource game where as Yu-Gi-Oh just kinda lets burn through whatever you have so long as you can. As far as I know Yu-Gi-Oh games tend to last very few turns compared to magic, and tend to have card effects that will just let you keep belching out cards from your hand, deck, or extra deck until you've assemble your combo and won, barring counter play. So because of that each player has to commit a bit more to what they're doing than in Magic. In magic if I know my opponent will only have four mana open to cast spells next turn, I have a rough idea of what is possible for them to do in response, even if I don't know their hand/deck. I know if they can play a board wipe, or a single target kill, or maybe just drop something large to force me to answer on my next turn. In Yu-Gi-Oh I might not get a next turn, meaning them manipulating that unknown information has a much greater impact on the game.

This reminds me of when Nibiru first came out, and people used to count summons on a die, regardless of if they had Nib or not, just to force slightly worse boards from the opponent to dodge a Rock blowing them out. And there are plenty of ways to draw during the opponent's turn, especially with things like Phantasmay gaining popularity, or cards like Dark World Dealings in rare combo decks. Are you not allowed to keep track if you see Nib from those draws? What about things like Ty-Phon that count extra deck summons? Not being allowed to keep track is stupid, honestly.

Here in Argentina there is a very popular game called Truco (Trick) that revolves almost entirely in angle shooting. If you bluff well enough, you can win the round against an opponent with a way better hand by tricking them into making a retreat.

Gonna jump in quickly on some things about current magic. From my experience magic, if not necessarily the rules then the players, have become a lot better at differentiating mind games and bluffing from sharking and trying to draw a line there. A pretty good example is pithing needle, which (simplifying a bit here) lets you name a card and have its effects not be able to be activated. Originally if you didn’t name the exact right card opponents would ankle shoot by saying “oh you only name borborygmos, not borborygmos enraged which is what I’m playing”. Realising this is incredibly stupid and scummy the rules were changed and now even if you don’t name the exact right card, as long as it is clear which card you mean then that’s what’s stopped. Additionally if your op isn’t sure what card you mean it’s up to them to have it be clarified, not to conveniently assume you’d name something useless. There’s still several thing I’d really want to be specifically addressed in mtg rules (chalice checking is the big one) but in those cases they tend to be heavily frowned upon by the general player base.

I will say Chalice checking, while frowned upon, does still have a SUPER simple answer within the MTG rules. "It's not your opponent's job to remind you about your triggers, so just remember your triggers." The old rule where you were required to remind your opponent of missed triggers led to SO many warnings, infractions, people accidentally pointing out MISSABLE triggers to an opponent and therefor accidentally helping them, etc... There's a reason the rule was changed.

@@KunouNoHana whilst yes the old rules did have plenty of problems and I wouldn’t want to go back to them, chalice checking sucks. It should be placed in the same position as sharking because you are knowingly making an illegal play with the hope your op won’t catch you. The ‘cost’ of chalice checking is incredibly low. It’s not a mind game, or a bluff, or even intelligent. It should just be straight up cheating but there’s no good way, unless your op is really dumb and just admits it, to know whether or not the player genuinely just forgot about the chalice or not.

There are even a number of reasons to deliberately play spells into chalice anyway, mono-red burn does it to trigger prowess, storm does it to increase storm count, etc...

Personally, I think bluffing should be legal in Ygo. Simply asking the opponent how many times they've summoned or asking if they've activated any effect are questions of known information. It's also the reason why asking what someone "tutored" for should also be a legal question since this is known and public information. Something Master Duel allows you to see in the logs. Whether or not you have something that interacts with those portions of the game is ambiguous and would be considered hidden information regardless. The opponent can think of ways to avoid potential risks the same way you can avoid potential risks of someone setting spell/traps. You don't know what they set but can infer based on known knowledge and general knowledge of the format. Ygo's rules try and make the game be like chess when it comes to not hiding information but the game itself plays more like poker. You have to read the person more than the cards themselves.

The nibiru counting thing is sort of a matter of context and intent. If you're just asking how many summons was this turn, or better what was summoned this turn it makes it a mater of clarifying game state, which is completely legal and while it telegraphs nibiru, any sane player should expect nib during long combos. That said, in the context of counting out loud with every summon, or very clearly hand counting as to show your opponent you're counting. That's a needless action done only to telegraph a nibiru which you may not even have. The result is the same in telegraphing nib, the INTENT is to misrepresent game state, not to clarify it. You can just as easily count in head as to not reveal the nibiru in hand, but trying to wink and nod that you have it is just needless and misleading.

If your opponent decides to make an assumption based on a bluff, it's entirely their fault. Lying about public information that needs to be available to both players is cheating. Bluffing about private information that the opponent had no right to know is playing. Allowing bluffing makes games *more fair* if it allows individuals to ask for publically available information without putting them at a disadvantage by letting their opponent know for sure what they're planning. If you can't ask misleading questions about public information then that creates a situation in which public information (which is free in a fair game) has an unfair cost attached to it since it provides the opponent information they have no right to know. So bluffing isn't needless, it's needed for a fair game. The exceptions being digital games where all public information is tracked and available through the UI.

I'm not a YGO player and don't know much about the history of ruling in YGO. I think sharking and deceitful plays are punished in YGO because Konami targets this game for kids mainly (even if lot of adults play it) and don't wanna promote this type of behavior. In MTG this is kinda lowkey celebrated as the majority of players older and the tournament scene grew up in that atmosphere where deceit was part of the game early on. Psychology of players are to be exploited and some people like this game within the game outside the constraints of game set rules. Some may look iffy like the token without context, but one rule professional players should abide to is never make assumptions of opponent's intentions and always assume they will try to give wrong information. Every player should be assumed that are fishing for advantages within boundaries of legality and scum play. In that token "play" was within the boundaries of legality and quite frankly the opponent played itself. Anyone sharp would have smelled this moment of psychological weakness and take advantage of it and some watchers would celebrate that as big brain "play" (although others didn't like that as it was in a limbo boundary of legality as seen as an abuse instead).

I remember getting a verbal warning for having a Six Samurai playmat and Six Samurai sleeves while playing Prophecy Spellbooks, in good faith. Edit: After watching more of the video, I want to add a story. Back in the day of Mtg there is a card called Cavern of Souls, basically when you play it you declare a creature type and when you type the Cavern for it's 2nd ability to add 1 mana of any color, the card becomes uncounterable. I typed 2 islands and my Cavern and played a card called True-Name Nemesis. I opponent casted a counterspell to counter it. I reminded him of my land and he said since I didn't declare I was using it for its 2nd ability to add that specific type of mana to make it uncounterable. I looked him dead in the eyes, in a very stern voice and said "You know damn well my intent; now quit being a douchebag and play the fucking game." He kind of shrunk in his seat and continued playing the game.

The only time a player is going to show exactly what they are going to do, they are going to be misleading. If you ignore what they do at all times, then the game plays normal.

I recently built a meme deck for a few mtg commander games. 97 lands and such. Obviously, I didn't need any tokens for the deck. It's somewhat weird for someone to show up with a deck and no tokens for it though. Almost every deck makes some kind of tokens, and the players at my LGS know I try my absolute hardest to have all my tokens, so I threw a few bullshit tokens in my deck box to place on the side of the table so nothing seemed off. If I'm understanding the situation correctly, that would absolutely be penalized under Konami's rules. It seems almost exactly like the original situation. Someone else pointed out something about manipulating "known" vs "unknown" information and I think a distinction has to be made there. If someone is trying to misrepresent what should be known information, that absolutely should be penalized. Not tapping your lands all the way to try and trick your opponent into thinking you have more mana open than you do, placing an artifact creature with your artifacts to try and make your opponent think you have less blockers, etc. That is actually misrepresenting the game-state. The poker situation is another example of something that should be penalized. If someone said "Hmmmm, combat" to try to make their opponent think they were going to combat when in fact they were staying in their main phase then they are intentionally misrepresenting the action that they were taking, which should be known information and shouldn't be misrepresented. But unknown information should be fair game. Why shouldn't I be able to bluff that I have a counter-spell, or kill spell in hand? What I have in my hand should not be part of the relevant game-state for my opponent's decision making (unless they have looked at my hand recently of course). What tokens I have brought with me should not be part of my opponent's decision making. Trying to make your opponent think you have called already in a game of poker is scummy, but bluffing is a strategic part of any game with unknown information. Bluffing is not cheating.

i dont know much about yugioh (i stopped playing when they added extra colors after blue), but i think this would be like the "of blue eyes" set, or another set that cares about cards in the graveyard. It would be like pondering an effect, searching through the graveyard for a card, pulling it out of the grave, reading it, then putting it back, and allowing your opponent to continue the play. I understand where the player's head is at. He doesnt want to activate settle the wreckage (it would give his opponent 4 land cards, which would allow him to play all the gas cards in his hand next turn. he doesnt have enough on the board to win on the one turn his opponent is shields down). Lifelink on the token matters, as you only need 1 life left to win the game. so he is calculating the blocked damage plus the 1 heal damage

I think a lot of people in this discussion are getting caught up on if something IS illegal or not in each game and not whether it SHOULD be. I dont think it should be, those kinds of bluffs are a skill in and of themselves and make of more interesting mental game, dismissing them as "scummy" just denies an entire angle of the game. It's also kind of ridiculous in a competitive setting where everyone is trying to get as much of an advantage as they can because there are real stakes. Also not a fan of the intent part of the YGO rules it makes for a very inconsistent rulebook that you as a player can't rely on, especially at a competitive level; I think hard and fast rules make for a much better system for judges and players. Additionally, why is my opponent allowed to play around the meta knowledge of what tokens I'm running but I'm not allowed to mislead them about that information? Seems rather arbitrary.

well for andres torres’ swordsoul token, its something that can only be generated by certain swordsoul cards when the deck hes actually playing which is branded despia has little to no capabilities to even generate any token let alone using swordsoul cards either since any swordsoul card that can generate their token applies a restriction to the player who summon it while the token is out on the field and this restriction absolutely cripples branded despia to the point you might as well consider the player throwing the game if they even so much as attempt to summon it another thing mentioned is that the swordsoul token doesnt exist in official capacity so he went out of his way to make it too but the real nail in the coffin is that he more or less confess on camera otherwise without proof of intent no one can really claim he was violating any rules, maybe shady to some but nothing that would implicate him to the point of being banned as for private misinformation, this one overlaps with how yugioh does not have a “fail to find” ruling so you cannot even attempt to deceive the opponent regardless in any way regarding private info

I think one reason why MtG doesn't have an intent rule is that it is so ambiguous and would also make corruption/prejudice among judges a bigger issue. Not saying the latter would be a massive problem, but it could happen. The other reason is that with as much interaction (what Yu-Gi-Oh players know as spell speed 2) as Magic has, mind games and reading opponent's board states are a major part of reaching the top. The best example is a blue player leaving mana open to represent a counterspell to bluff the opponent into playing more carefully, but all colors have similar options. As long as you don't actually violate one of Magic's many very specific rules, you're good. I can see why people prefer the intent rules to not having any rule about verbally misrepresenting the game state, but I don't think a rule like that would work out quite so well in Magic and I prefer not having it. Especially because it would make the line between "purposely misrepresenting the game state" and "banter about having a counterspell in a deck that could play it, when an experienced player knows you can't possibly have that" very blurry and would lead to some d-bags using it to dq people.

I strictly play MTG, and some of the examples that were given that wouldn't be ok just makes it seem like Konami are trying to baby their player-base too much. Bluffing is a perfectly legitimate thing to do, especially about things your opponent shouldn't know. When you construct your deck, you're not necessarily building something card-for-card from some website, you'll make some slight changes here or there, or build something completely unknown. And being able to have that hidden information that you can play with is significant, and it takes a real professional player to be able to play around the things that they expect and filter through your bluffs.

This is some next level bullshit from Konami, how the hell are you supposed to police your opponent's inference from your actions? That guys examples of Nibiru and Triple Tactics Talent make this even more clear. Asking a question to clarify the game state is not in any way misrepresenting the game state. If I ask the question about Triple Tactics Talent and I actually have it, is that OK? Trick question, that shouldn't matter at all. In the ban example in question, the player isn't even misrepresenting the game state because the game hasn't begun. Making your opponent make mistakes is a huge part of all games of limited information, thinking around these things is part of the skillset.

I get what you are saying but you are not thinking it through right. Lets say you DO have Nib in hand for instance. You know you have it and therefore you know you need to keep track of the summon count. KEEP TRACK OF THE SUMMON COUNT! You should not need to ask anyone how many monsters they have summoned. If you do need to ask then it means you are not paying attention to the game and that is YOUR fault. It is not difficult to count to 5 in your head. Watch the game, keep track and when they hit 5 you can play your Nib. On the other hand if you DONT have Nib in hand and you are asking your opponent how many summons they have made or you are counting out loud then you are purposefully deceiving your opponent into thinking you have one and that is simply not allowed. Side note, I think those sort of mind games should be allowed but Konami say different so this is where we are at.

If you ask me all he did was signaling about what he might be planning, possibly to throw the opponent off about what the plan was.

Setting a dead spell card is a perfectly legal bluff as setting spell/trap cards in the spell/trap zone is a legal action in every sense. If the opponent falls for the bluff and doesn't end the game then that's on them. Setting a specific token, you aren't going to use, on top of your deck to misdirect the opponent on what you're running. The player even announced the intention behind it, which heavily influences how game one matches played and can result in him winning the important game one.

Longtime mtg player weighing in here... MTG does seem to be heading in the direction of reducing the angle shooting. They're obviously nowhere near as strict as Konami (the fact that you can't even hint at the possibility that your deck might contain a certain card unless it actually does contain said card just blows my mind), but nevertheless they are definitely making movements towards applying intent to their judging decisions. The angle shooting in mtg these days is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I got my start in competitive play about 15 years ago (never made pro, but I do alright for myself), and the things I'd see happen at large events back then.... It was like the wild west compared to how it is now. I don't think mtg will ever be quite as strict as yu-gi-oh when it comes to bluffing, subterfuge, mind games etc... It feels like it's been an integral part of mtg for so long that I think the game would be diminished if they tried to cut it out entirely. All they need to do (IMO what they've been doing) is make sure that said things are done in a healthy way. On the topic at hand; I don't see any problem with the LSV play. His decision on what action to take is completely dependent on what his opponent chooses to do: opponent goes for a cautious attack? he's going to create the token & block to minimize damage. opponent sends everything? he casts settle the wreckage. What he's doing (from my perspective) is drawing attention to the fact that he can make the token, thus conveying to the opponent that a cautious attack will not accomplish anything. (upon reading some of the other comments, it also seems that his opponent had requested to see the token (possibly not audible on the video), if that is indeed the case then it explains why the token was removed from the box, and (to my mind at least) removes any possibility of controversy - at least from an mtg player's perspective.) I'm also not 100% sure that the scapegoat / mirror force analogy sticks so well: If you've set scapegoat, then you have no out if they full send. If you've set mirror force, then you're in an equally sticky situation if they attack cautiously. whereas lsv isn't in a terrible situation either way; he can do either, depending on which one is more appropriate at the exact moment.
@SmoketySm0ke

I'm not going to argue that these AREN'T the rules. What I will say is the logic behind this way of ruling is so backwards. The "original sin" here is the opponent trying to derive information about the gamestate by looking at things OUTSIDE the game. "... he intended to mislead his opponents as to what deck he was playing..." Even if he doesn't consciously realize it, what he's ACTUALLY doing is "intending to mislead opponents WHO ARE THEMSELVES LOOKING TO ANGLE SHOOT as to what deck he was playing". If his opponents were playing honest and only using information garnered from the match itself, or (although this sucks for its own reasons) scouted in a previous round, then these tokens are a non-issue. If he had set his deckbox under something or had it in some other way out of sight, again, no problem. This infraction REQUIRES an opponent looking for an unfair advantage in order for there to be a victim. They DESERVE to be misled at that point. WOTC doesn't try to rule against stuff like this because it lacks logical consistency, and would be a nightmare to enforce. Can I report a player for wearing a custom tee shirt that says "I never play Mirror Force in my decks", when they blow me out with Mirror Force? This is logically nearly the same thing.

"superior card game" As someone who has formerly played Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Force of Will, Star Wars TCG, Weiss Schwartz, and even the Munchkin TCG, and currently plays Magic the Gathering, I would have to say that MTG is superior to a Yu-Gi-Oh. The lack of a mechanic similar to mana that limits your play, and the game makers' unwillingness to adhere to the "one normal summon per turn" rule by making EVERYTHING a special summon, caused the game to speed up to a point that games hardly ever went beyond turn three. Magic is power creeping pretty hard lately, but the existence of a Commander had allowed me to continue to play the archetypes and themes I like, while Yu-Gi-Oh left my Venom deck (post Reptiliannes), my Morphtronics, and my Watt monsters behind years ago to the point they were completely unplayable, except amongst my closest friends that preferred that speed of play. Yu-Gi-Oh died when they made Exceed monsters and Magic is about to die, not to creep, but to Universe Beyond. Sad, because I think Force of Will Watt the best game, it just didn't catch on in my hometown.

If you count your opponents summons in their combo game 1 and discover that it would be enough to activate that card you can use that information to make your deck better for game 2. If you count your opponents combo and it wouldn't be enough then you know not to sideboard it in. Or the inverse, you sideboard it out when you discover it wouldn't save you anyway. Even if it's not in your hand it is a useful thing to know. Even outside the tournament there is a real chance you play another tournament, and knowing that card would have saved you is the first step to improving your deck. That rule is just weird.

Magic is slowly moving to more intent based enforcement and is discouraging angle shooting more and more. However, bluffing, including what tokens you have in your deckbox, should remain allowed imo.

If the game has published decks and the opponent asked afyer seeing the card of you were playing it, you would have to say no. If deck lists are private, they can say anything. If you make a decision based on your opponent's representation of hidden information, that's on you. If anything, I think these rules just create a ton of gray area where you train players to trust opponent signals and the best liars get an advantage as a result. I'd assert that an environment where you just assume all opponent signals about hidden information are worthless is better. You have little incentive to bother going for deception if your opponent has been trained to just ignore you anyway.

in yugioh its the opposite, the rulebook directly states *"Intentionally giving false information about something that is considered Private Knowledge, or intentionally revealing information that is considered Private Knowledge, may result in a Disqualification penalty"* in other words yugioh does not allow the player to confirm or deny anything related to private info as doing either can affect how the game is played, what andres torres did on camera is more or less admitting that he was purposely falsified what is considered private knowledge; his deck and is in direct violation of the rules

@@YukiFubuki. Right, exactly. I think that's actually a super unfortunate rule since it creates subjectivity in judging and creates a much nastier meta game where you may, in fact, be more incentivized to try to game the system.

@@Reverie42 not really, you're also not allowed to call a judge over soemthing as simple as roused suspicion so someone can only be penalized for this if there is sufficient evidence and/or reason to believe they're violating the rules its why both of those clauses is preceded by "Intentionally", there needs to be evident of intent in their actions hence why it was tht deck profile video that ousted andres torres and not during any actual match since hes basically confessing on camera that he was violating the rule here since if he just left it as it is and didnt explain specifically why the token was there then it can mean a whole bunch of things as its not like the deck he was playing was entirely incapable of generating tokens either

@@YukiFubuki. You keep making the same point I'm making. Because intent is hard to prove, there's a lot of room to try to game the system. That's silly. Just make things consistent and teach players not to pay attention to their opponents about anything regarding hidden information. It's much simpler for everyone that way.

@@Reverie42 im not saying there isnt any subjectivity to it or that it isnt hard to prove but subjective whim of roused suspicion is not evidence of intent its not as loose as you think it is because there needs to be a cut and dry reason to believe a rule is being violated in the first place and not just because it seems like it besides, arent you assuming that players are falling for his misdirection when you dont even know whether it worked or not, andres wasnt punished for successfully tricking someone anyway but because he bascially admit to violating the rules regarding private knowledge when he attempted to misrepresent the game state theres no subjectivity to what amounts to an actual confession this sort of misdirection isnt even anything new in yugioh; play-mats, deck box, sleeves, clothing and accessories can all be taken as misinformation and especially so when there is so much mech relating to yugioh too as it isnt within the top 100 highest grossing franchise of all time for nothing someone can be wearing sky striker ace - raye t-shirt with sleeves and deck box of sky striker ace - raye but this isnt confirmation that to their opponent theyre playing sky strikers, you can cosplay as yugi muto himself and be running a blue eyes deck instead and this still isnt evidence of anything the same goes for the swordsoul token, it doesnt automatically confirmed that he was playing swordsoul despite acknowledging this was what he intended to mislead the opponent into thinking because he couldve been just playing a swordsoul variant deck, his deck mightve just been using some swordsouls cards (around this time there were 3-4 decks that were either splashing in swordsoul cards or using them as an adjacent strategy) or the simply using it as a stand-in for any other token as the adventure engine was massively popular at this time and it invokes generating a token that is required for its actions but the differences is that he outright stated the intent of the token in a video

14:38 It's illegal because it's intentionally giving your opponent false information that would convince them to do a different play, one that might be more advantageous for you. Counting isn't a problem. But if the counting is implying that you have nibiru, that's a problem. But if you state ahead of time that you want to count the summons for funsies (which I would totally do to like... tally. For the fun because heck, SO much summoning happens. It's funny to me.) then fine. But if you're just NOTICEABLY counting, the implication is clear. But the question then becomes did you do it on PURPOSE?
