Thanks for having my story. Some furhter informations: Jeffry never showed up at the store again. So i hope he still can find joy in playing Yugioh Michael also claimed that Jeffry had dropped the card whilst siding and someone picked it up, because the sleeve was also missing. Michael got a life time ban on our location but we never saw him again, because he wasn´t one of our "local" guys. Loom tells the story a bit to fast, we were looking for the card and I also wanted to help him, but the head judge was "enter here some not so nice words" And who the f thinks, that someone EATS a card, it was more reasoable that jeffry lost his card while siding I also warned other stores in the area for this guy, but with his accent he wasn´t even a guy who lives close to us and we got a thing that is called "data protection" in germany. And he wasn´t throwed out of the store, the head judge and I took him out of the store to calm him down. We both couldn´t believe such things. WHO the f EATS A CARD
Really both the judge and head judge failed big time here. You have someone vehemently claiming their opponent took/trashed one of their cards and when they find evidence for that fact they give the victim a game loss for not having a full deck? BS. I hope that kid never comes back to such a terrible store
@@Soraey honestly, you should have contacted other stores in the area and informed them about what happened. Especially since Michael wasn't a regular. If he'd do this at a store he's not used to, imagine what he does at a store he's a normal player at.
nice job ruining that kids experience with yugioh. he literally had a card eaten tried to tell people and got kicked out for not having the card. huge L
I hope Jeffry is doing alright. Seeing a story like this saddens me. I hope he does not give up the game completely because of this experience. This was not deserved.
Wow, I feel bad for the kid, everyone acting like he was lying and getting thrown out of the tournament might be a big enough trauma to make him quit playing paper yu-gi-oh.
Like actually how the fuck did they count his deck see it's a card down and still decide the the kid must be lying despite having seen the card was just there
"He ate my card" *checks deck* *1 card short* "Well clearly you just didnt count right" My guy, why even bother checking the card totals if it was not to find if a card was missing? Like seriously, that head judge is a massive idiot for that move and should probably never be head judge again
"As I suspected. You're short a card! Trying to make your deck- stop crying for a second- more consistent by lowering the card count! You- seriously, why are you whining about your boss monster being eaten? Clearly you're just trying to get your opponent kicked out! You are hereby- bro, wipe your nose ffs- Disqualified!"
And then the lack of situational awareness got me. Like, normally when a kid is crying there’s a good amount of truth to the words that are about to be said. “He ate my card” could’ve been “he took my card” and all it would take is a simple: “How many? Just one? Okay…” “Please, empty your pockets and let’s see if you have the card.” “Why is his card in your pocket? Game loss and disqualification.”
this is such a blatantly made up story. Not only would it be fucking impossible to eat a card fully with not a single goddamn person noticing, but then he apparently went out with that same group of people and bragged to them that yeah, he did eat a card, as if those people were not literally there for it? such a nonsense story.
@@TheThursty100No, it's a soldier of the gods. Ra is the winged dragon OF Ra, and Slifer is Osiris's Sky Dragon. They are Divine Beast monsters (Divine can mean that they belong to a god, and it does for these 3). Holactie is the only god card in Yu-Gi-Oh, and it's a Creator God type monster.
Now that I'm thinking about it, especially if it turns out that he only ran one lady, you either run 1 or 3, and this wasn't the first match, they could have just asked one of his previous opponents if he ever summoned her.
After the adults outburst in the 2nd match and trying to say ash blossom isn’t a monster, I would have side with the kid, the guy already showed he can’t be trusted plus we have seen how he acts when he starts to lose
@@crazymage5316 He didn't know about Ash being a monster so he is a Noob. Yet he played Snake-eye that at the time of that even was the most expensive deck in the entire format (more then 1.000$). Litterally a pay to win player that has the cash but not the skill.
Imagine someone claims their opponent ate one of their cards, therefore removing one card from their deck, and then you disqualify them for missing a card in the deck. I can't even process that train of though
it's because it's a blatantly made up story. forget the lack of logic in what you just pointed out, but also, you are not eating an entire goddamn card without a single other person noticing. There would likely be like 4 other players within 2 feet playing their own games.
@@soldio4143 Also just the entire logic man. 1) Card is used. Card clearly exists. 2) Card is now gone. 3) Kid in hysterical tears claiming toxic player ate it. I mean there's only one ruling to be made right? Clearly kid only brought 39 cards, and the entire previous mass was our own judge's delusions.
@@Basch152 There's also the question of why someone who supposedly wasn't a local, would then stay in town for the night drinking with a bunch of people he didn't know. Did he stay with one of the people he just met that night? Did he drive home drunk or have an expensive cab ride home? Why would the friend wait days to share the details about the guy admitting to it? He was at the event, he obviously knew his friend was a judge.
There's also LITERALLY an official rule that states that if your Deck List, which you register with the Judges before even being allowed to attend, isn't correct, as in you have wrong cards or you're missing cards, you're LITERALLY allowed to fix it before being punished for it. Basically the PROPER way would've been: 1. Search the Card. 2. Card can't be found, ask Jeffry to get the Card to make the Deck legal again. 3. Jeffry DOESN'T have the Card? Try to procure the Card from someone else, for example the Judge that sat outside the Store with the Kid and offered their own Lady from their Binder. 4. If the Binder isn't accessable rn and the Card couldn't be procured another way either *Jeffry was allowed to put in Side Deck cards, adjust the Deck List and continue playing. according to the story Jeffry had a Side Deck.* Also the actual 'punishment' for having an illegal Deck is *Game Loss* Head Judge Disqualifying Jeffry was ALSO wrong.
Michael is everything wrong with modern Yu-Gi-Oh players, he needs to not just be banned he needs to be on a forbidden list of players who are never allowed to play the game at any level of event.
That's not limited to modern Yu-Gi-Oh players though. In every community, at any time period, you'll find people like this. I've seen a few myself 20ish(?) years ago.
@@SkyReaperOne and I've seen some a few seconds ago on arena, do they exist yes, do I have to like that they do, no, do I have the right to express my opinion on the matter, until our flag is no longer red white and blue I have the unalienable right to express my opinion in a public forum.
@@iwannahavearockstar2994 The boy was 15. Remember, at the beginning of the story, he stated to be half the age of Michael who was said to be in his 30’s. So half of 30 is 15. So at very least, the boy was 15. Couldn’t be younger. Granted, he acted very immature for his age, but given the circumstances, I can’t honestly blame him.
Because they didn't believe a grown ass man would eat their opponent's card. It's so unbelievably pathetic. Playing devil's advocate, the kid could've have made up the story after they searched their deck and realized they had 1 less copy of a card.
> player in tears > accuses opponent of eating one of his cards > head judge performs deck count > confirms deck is one card light > ignores the suspicious state of events > issues game loss with no further elaboration nor attempted investigation as to *_where_* the missing card went Genius work, truly. Head judge needs the validity of his title re-assessed. Even with the consideration that a grown adult eating his opponent's card is a pretty ludicrous outcome, you have to take into account that the opponent in question is still a child. They're less likely to lie when they're upset like that, and they're probably upset because they're going to be a bit more protective of their cards when you consider that they're more valuable possessions to someone who doesn't have their own source of disposable income. Just a little bit of tact here would have gone a long way. Instead of wasting no time punishing him for something that he was already very visibly distraught about and may or may not have been entirely out of his control, maybe pause and try to gather a few more facts before dismissing the claim altogether. It sounds like this "Michael" was behaving like a giant douchebag the entire time anyway, so I don't think it'd be out of the question to at least humour the kid's accusation. Had the situation been dealt with properly, he might have still been attending that store and he might not have felt so wronged by the decisions made.
Hearing that Story, either nobody at the Venue was an officially licensed Judge, or they all somehow got through by being lucky. NOBODY seemed to have raised the Rule about a player being allowed to MAKE the Deck legal if a Card is missing via Side-Deck, which according to OP, Jeffry had. So yeah, either nobody deserved to be Judge there, OP included. Or they AREN'T actually official judges, which means OPs claim of 'Judging larger Tournaments' is also BS XD
another problem is that they have to do it VERY quickly given how fast some players "attempt" to play. The game is rapidly devolving into a state of delirium.
Jesus, what a sore loser Micheal was. Not only he had no knowledge of the current meta thesaurus (i mean, even i am a twelfth hour gamer and know my floodgates and handtraps), but THE AUDACITY to eat his opponent's card... I hope that whenever he goes to the bathroom, his toilet gets destroyed by Lady's effect.
I feel like the head judge sounds like he was in on. As outrageous of a story as it sounds if a kid is missing exactly one card, claims a guy ate one of his cards and said card would have made sense to have been the 40th card it sounds way more possibe for the card to have been eaten than the child was cheating. Thats not even accounting for how dumb the other guy sounded.
Right. They could’ve checked the guy, who most likely pocketed the sleeve. I feel they just didn’t want to deal with fighting with a guy their age and decided that the best course of action was to thrown a crying kid out of the store to avoid confrontation with the grown ass man.
This story involves arguing with a parent about card prices. I was playing SPYRAL back in their first tier 0 format. I started collecting cards since 9yo so I got some neat cards in my collection that I ended up using in my spyral deck, more specific a Ghost Rare Ancient Fairy Dragon I got since a kid. I was playing round 4 vs a kid who was on no joking a pile of cards held over by a rubber band with no sleeves. We say hello and proceed to game 1, I won the dice roll so I started to combo off. I summon AFD as part of my combo, when I hear my opponent asking to read AFD. I was focus on the combo so I didn't understand them so I ask if they can repeat their question. Then it happened, he lifts his finger with kinda long nails and hits with their nails my AFD damaging it. I scream begging him to stop saying You're damaging my card stop, so I called one of the staff members to help me with this issue. Usually when someone damages a card in my local area they are expected to pay a compensation based on the damage At first I thought it was not a big deal, sure now my AFD is damaged but I didn't expect that the impacto had left a big battle scar in the whole text box of the card. I was pissed for the lack of respect for my cards but still keeping a cool head I told them that I knew the card is expensive but just give me about $50 for the damage. But then they star crying with their lungs off and called her mother who was waiting outside the store. She inmediatly attacked me verbaly for making their child cry so I explain the details. But then she said something:" its just cardboard, just print another, Is not a big deal" Then it all clicked, that mother didn't knew how expensive ygo can get so I tried to explain her and even showed tcgplayer prices. The mother got so angry that she was on a Karen Rampage saying we're all fat loosers who don't have a job (I was 15 at the time ) and that its just a piece of cardboard. In the end the store owner ban the mother from not only this store but all brother stores too due to arguing with every soul there. Is not as random as other stories but still kinda cursed to have a Karen insult you just for asking for something created by their son imprudence
@@toddrichard-ph1to i mean the sleeve protected the card, imagine someone with long nails pushin down your card with the tip of their nails even with the sleeves it will damage the card
What a stupid head judge. Instead of a missing card being evidence that the kid was telling the truth, he decided to take the braindead way out of the situation. Growing up, sadly, this was the norm for how adults treated kids. I suppose I can't expect all adults at this day and age to be of higher quality.
I don't fault the judge. If there was no clear sign of the opponent chewing or a spit out card, how would they know the kid wasn't lying? It would have been different if there was at least a witness but you can't ban people on baseless accusations. It could have been the kid realized he forgot to put 1 card in the deck and in anger started lying to not get disqualified in the next round for deck size. They had no way of knowing.
@@GRtogetaBICDon’t most Labrynth Decks run either one Lady or three? So they could’ve just either checked the kid’s deck for the amount of Lady Labrynths or just check if he even summoned her at all previously??? Is there something I’m not understanding??
@@Trialer It's that WE know the kid wasn't lying, but THEY didn't at the time. For all they knew, the kid purposefully pulled a card out of his deck between rounds hoping to trick the judges. The only thing they could do was rule on the one thing they had evidence of: his deck was not the right size.
@@NimonoSolenze But, why would the kid do such thing? It was game 3, he already won a ruling case due to the judge being in attendance the first time, and a much needed card is gone all of a sudden which caused the outburst. A great deduction could’ve been to check the accused. If the sleeve is visible (the sleeve was indeed said to not be around), the card must be pocketed. The kid wouldn’t pocket one of his best cards, tell the judge that the opponent took his card, and hope for a victory. That would be absurd.
@@GRtogetaBIC It was semi-finals, there was no way he could’ve gotten through with that even if it was a ploy. They also kicked the kid off of a baseless accusation: that he lied and made an unnecessary scene. And yeah, they couldn’t have known. Except they had multiple ways of knowing, they could’ve listened to the kid as this was a bullying situation (described as twice the kid’s age). They could’ve checked the grown ass man, given his attitude when judge was there before, it was likely he did something…maybe not eat the card at first glance, but very likely taken it out of sight. He had a card and sleeve. If one was eaten, the other HAS to be on his person because it’s inedible and hard to swallow. However, they didn’t do the critical thinking and kicked the kid for crying about his card (kicked is an under-exaggeration as it was described as “thrown out” meaning he was forced out). What makes it worse, is that the judge offers him another copy after he’s kicked, making him eligible to play right then and there while the kid is still claiming innocence. There was only one victim here: the one forced out of a store for nobody knowing how to use process of elimination.
Kid: He ate my card! Head Judge: *checks deck* Head Judge: Hey you're missing a card, disqualified! That Head Judge was the dumbest person in this story.
My brother in Christ, how do you eat a card within seconds and still act natural about it!? This clearly wasn't the first time he's done it, bro had practice.
Big L. So the Judge's plan was either A ) What happened when 39 cards were counted, or B ) Counting 40+ and either dismissing the claim or punishing the kid for "lying"? Michael's lifetime ban is only half of what they should have done. What became of the kid that got wronged after? Did he ever go back to the store? Also imagine if the lady was like a starlight 1st ed with sentimental value or something, and kid was given a tin reprint.
If I was a kid yes. But since I'm not, I would throw hands. It's not even about the money. I care a lot about my cards. If I witnessed that happening to someone else I would also throw hands. The thought that this poor kid might never play again because of this bastard makes my blood boil.
it would have made the story way easier to understand. According to the entire comment lineup, I heard the events backwards because I didn't know which was which, so meanwhile, I thought that the kid was the one who didn't know how labyrinth works and then the crowd gets really crazy when an adult is suddenly screaming, "he ate my lady!" XD
Wish there was a name drop of the store this took place at. They deserve all the bad reviews that would head their way. Kid literally didn’t get an apology or something to make up for it.
Claim: 'He ate my card.' Rebuttal: 'No, I didn't.' Judge: *counts cards in deck* 'This deck is missing 1 card! That's illegal! Banned!' My guy, how did you fail to make that connection? You don't have to be Sherlock fkin Holmes to put those together. He only has 39 cards because his 40th was EATEN! A child could do math that simple and make that connection. Who is this moron judge and please for the love of god, tell me he isn't one anymore because that is just stupidity on a level I don't want to even try comprehending. Michael got banned, but did they do anything about the judge who made the stupid ass decision to ban Jeffrey, because in my mind, he's also part of the problem. Definite contender and favorite for dumbest judge call ever.
The following story happened when I was first knowing a card store nearby the place I just moved to. The year was 2018 and, unfortunately, I never had the experience of playing YGO competitively nor going to a store like that up to that point. I was fascinated by the atmosphere, and the manager, one of the owners, was incredibly kind. As someone who loved HEROes since I was a little kid, especially Neos, my deck was built around it, and it included some random gimmicky cards since I didn't quite have the proper condition to afford a decent deckbuild. I asked for us to play a little, and everything was going alright. He knew I was not experient, so he chose a Pendulum deck that he not played that often. Around game 2, I used Polymerization, attempting to fuse Elemental Hero Neos and King of the Swamp into Rainbow Neos. "But wait a minute... You can't do that.", he says, with a slightly annoyed tone. I didn't understand much around rullings at the time, so I gave him a confused gaze, not really knowing what he meant. He explained the basics about what made that play illegal to me, and I soon understood that, apologizing, and attempting to do another thing instead. However, something interesting happened right after. He allowed me to keep Rainbow Neos on the field, but his tone started getting gradually angrier as he spoke. My turn ended with Rainbow Neos and Masked HERO Dark Law on the field. As soon as I declared End Phase, he instantly pointed at Rainbow Neos, and demanded for it to be returned to the Extra Deck. I was a bit intimidated by his sudden burst of rage, but calmly explained that Rainbow Neos is one of the few Neos fusions that don't go back to the Extra Deck at the end of the turn. He then calls for his co-worker. "They're clearly cheating!", he says. But, as soon as his co-worker reads Rainbow Neos' effect, he confirms that I was in the right. During his turn, he attempted to make a combo using his Pendulum monsters, but as long as Dark Law is on the field, every card that goes to the GY is banished instead. I used to play YGO Arc-V Tag Force Special at the time, so I knew that his monsters should be banished instead of going face-up on the Extra Deck. That was the moment he looked at me like a father who just saw his son taking a shit on the glass of his car. He started babbling about how he went through tons of official Konami tests to be a judge, and how he knew better because he played the game for longer, while I just wanted to pass that page, uneasy to see him getting fifty shades of pissed off even when I surrendered to make that situation easier. His co-worker had to intervene, apologizing for his behaviour, and after a while, as I went back home, I knew I had to avoid dueling with him again if I wanted to have any fun. ...The store closed down a year later.
Bro knew the fusion ruling on Rainbow Neos but didn’t know it stayed on the field during the end phase. Did he just assume the gimmick of Neos Fusions was an innate mechanic and not a part of the effect? The meme of yugioh players can’t read continues on. Sorry that happened to you, dude.
Someone needs to make contact with them, check if they are still playing and start a go fund me for him to get labrynth max rarity upgrades if he so wishes.
@@Soraeywhy did no one reach out to him after discovering his story was true? Surely someone had some sort of contact details for the kid. It's not just about whether or not he's still playing. The kid is going to have major trust issues after being treated like that.
Welp, sad for that kid. I have to say seeing an opp "eating" his card, then nobody trusted him and thinked he cheated by using 39 cards deck (it doesn't even make sense to use only 2 silver castle, the main x3 in card almost any labrynth deck) then got thrown out of the store is just enough to start his villan arc. I hope after that he got another silver castle from the store as an apology for that:)
When I was 12 I had a guy try to steal an MTG deck of mine at a tournament, just stuck it in his box and denied that it was mine. This was like the 3rd time he had been accused of stealing cards in the time he patronized that particular shop, and given that the deck he tried to swipe from me was upwards of 500 dollars even by early 2000's standards I decided he was gonna pay for it this time. After the owner of the card shop called the police and they showed up we confronted the guy and I told them he had stolen my entire box, I had played him enough times to know most of what he carried with him and could rattle off card lists without even trying, the nail in the coffin was that I had noticed before the police arrived that the box he was using was one that was mine previously which I had given away at some point, and I knew that I had my name written on it on the top lid underneath the upholstery where it wouldn't be seen just in case it was ever stolen. Long story short the guy got a permanent ban from the place and I got the entire card box. Ran into the same dude at another shop in town a couple years later a few weeks before he was arrested for stealing directly from the shop's stock. This was the only person I ever stole cards from unless you count well wrangled trade deals, I was never one to take advantage of new players not knowing what they had and would typically step in if I saw somebody trying to sucker a newer player.
To set the scene, It was 2018 and I was off to my first comic con with my friends. I didn't know if there was going to be a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, but I'm a nerd so I would bring my Yu-Gi-Oh cards almost anywhere with me. Luckily I found a tournament starting at around lunchtime, I didn't mind and let my friends go off for some lunch as I registered and waited for the tournament to start. I was running cyber dragons, and not just any cyber dragons, specifically power bond into cyber end dragon. I'd like to just say I was 13 at the time. First match begins and I'm playing this lovely dude with a cool moustache. I win game 1, we go to game two, I don't think I have a side deck at the time, or if I do it's like 3 dark holes. Game 2 he does his plays, I summon core, get negated and so I set cybernetic overload cyber network. What this card does is summon all my banished cyber dragon monsters back... And skips my battle phase, which I had neglected to read... So he does some more stuff and I use cybernetic overload to banish my cyber dragons and destroy cards he controls. He passes turn. I top deck power bond. I activate cyber network and summon my 3 banished cyber dragon monsters back. I activate power bond, summon cyber end dragon and proceed to swing for game. My opponent picked up my cyber network, read it, looked at me and smiled. He extended his hand and said good game and moved on. This was a lovely experience and something I truly value to this day. But it goes downhill from here. Next opponent comes. He's on BA. I was not clued in to what BA does and his cards were in Italian so I really had no clue I just trusted him. He used farfa on me three times in one turn, which is not legal as it's a hard once per turn, on top of that, I wasn't told I return the monster so his farfa was actually just a discard and banish forever. Anyway, I one the first game. But there's only so much cyber end dragon can do when it is constantly banished. Suffice to say I lost that duel. One of my friends came to watch that game which wasn't my best performance. I was feeling pretty bummed but happy for the learning experience. Also, I packed Saryuja from my free packs so that was cool. Anyway, about 20 minutes later we met up with some other people we knew were at comicon. This is where the story needs some context. I am Jewish and would wear what is known as a skullcap for religious reasons. Now I wore this the entire day and so did the people we had met up with. As I was walking with them I see the guy who beat me. I give him a little smile, for acknowledgement and as he walks past, I hear him whisper to me "I wish Hitler got you to." I laughed. I just couldn't believe someone would say that. I tell the adult I'm with and we laugh about it a bit more and she just says that some people have a lot of hatred in them. I just think the whole situation is hilarious. Imagine losing a single game to a 4ft11 Jewish boy, cheating to win and then wishing that they died in the Holocaust. A truly stand up guy. Luckily I've been to more tournaments now where the people I've gone with or who knows I'm Jewish are such lovely people and ask genuinely curious questions. I also must report that noone has since said anything antisemitic to me after I've whooped their ass in a children's card game.
I get that this is an outrageous, unbelievable tale in most situations and I can't tell I wouldn't have done the same for sure, but shame on the head judge for not even considering that Jeffrey might be telling the truth before issuing a loss, specially when his opponent had already proven to be problematic
Added this to a previous video but didnt realise it was already an old vid, so will post here again! Had a crazy situation at a LGS when I was like 9 in 2005. I was 9 - I barely knew how to play the game (properly), but me and my two brothers would go to the LGS, likely to the delight to the diligent players as we were 3 easy wins. My younger bro played some kind of Des Frog deck, my older bro played a slightly altered Dury of the Feep deck (we didn't even know that Ocean Dragon Lord Neo Daedailus had a retcon), and I played an amazing VWXYZ-Cyber Dragon-Ancient Gear deck... some how the aim was to get either Future fusion / Overload fusion, or Ancient Gear Golem, or some part of VWXYZ onto the field - but it's the Union cards that are important to this story. During one week, the local sweat of the shop, lets call him Bob, who was easily in his late 20s, had just scammed me out of some cards (not that I knew at the time, but I remember giving him 3 cards for one that was defo not worth it, but I was a gulible 9 year old), when I saw that he had a copy of VW Tiger Catapult, and I needed a second copy. I asked if I could borrow it for the day, and he said sure. Anyway, I lose every game and go home. Oh damn... I forgot to give it back to him... Mind you, he had a full folder of lots of cards, and I'm sure VW-TC was pennies. Oh well, I'll give it to him next week and apologise. So, next week comes around, and... I forget it at home... Okay, I'll apologise and bring it back next week! So I walk in, I go up to Bob, and I say: "Hey, I'm so sorry, I forgot to give back your VW Tiger Catapult last week, and I left it at home - i'll bring it next week". At the start of this conversation, he clearly had no memory of even lending the card, but as I talked, he suddenly looked very angry. Next thing I know, he's punched me in the face. A 9 year old. For forgetting his pennies card. Don't get me wrong, must have been annoying: Lent out a card, and it wasn't returned, but it sat in his folder, and he ran a meta top listing deck (think it was lightsworn at the time? Could be wrong, it was nearly 20 years ago), he didn't need or care about this card - so his logical reaction? PUNCH. Now I could have easily gone to the shop owner and likely got him banned of life - hell, I could have asked my dad to call the cops - but I was 9, and had NO idea what was going on. Luckily, it was a punch to my forhead, so no broken nose, no black eye, it was just a "thump". Needless to say, I brought him his card the following week, and he didn't even care that I had given it back to him - pretty sure he forgot AGAIN about it. But the best part about this was that week I actually somehow won 2-0 against his meta deck by him just getting two dead hands, and me getting into Future Fusion/Overload fusion both games. Felt good for lil 9 year old me - even the guy recording the results was like "Wait, you beat bob?..." Moral of the story: I dunno, but don't punch kids in the face??
august, 2024. local card shop, i was dueling some dude named Rich. unfortunately that day, i decided to be a villain and play runick stun. he was playing exodia with the new support. we both said hey and sat down for our match. game one, i stunned and milled him out. typical. game 2 though. he let me go first full knowing that i thrive on going first. draw phase, i activated runick tip to search, obviously for fountain, then the 1 banish one card. the card was one of the pieces of exodia, and he proceeded to get a bit mad. he ended up scooping right then and there. i thought everything was over until he started making vulgar jokes and then proceeded to literally fart up a storm. non stop farting in the area around me for like 15 minutes after the duel. on command too. told the judge there to like get him to calm down or stop. Rich didnt take that well and decided to rip one before getting his stuff to leave. as soon as he was leaving, he looked at me and said "you know what i think about your deck?" and then proceeded to fart loudly. now i agree i was being trash that day, but i didn't think it would drag me into a fart storm. he ended up getting a warning from the shop owner because of the farts and apparently a mother and her kid heard the vulgar jokes he was throwing around. he still shows up to the shop but unfortunately he still gassing it up in the parking lot.
Thats the thing, some small tournaments dont require a resgistered list. Also a judge cant really have a bias and "my opponent ate my card" isnt exactly something a judge can verify without witness's. He got removed because he wouldnt calm down, im not blaming the kid by any means but if you dont calm down its just going to make it worse, maybe if the kid could have kept it down he could have talked with the judge properly.
@@mokato3988 thats what i thought but the judge coulda gave the card before the dq. he probably had to dq him and the kid cried more and he was like ok fine have mine. but by that point the next round started
@@mokato3988 Way to victim blame when the kid was 1000% right in the end. He made a claim of theft, had his deck counted to verify something was missing *and the instant reaction is to declare it's THEIR fault* is beyond stupid.
@@UltimaKeyMaster Im not blaming the kid, im just saying a bunch of improper things happened that led to that outcome and the kid crying/not calming down did not help. Im not saying the kid shouldnt cry but at 15 year's old and you throw a tantrum is not exactly going to make anyone pick your side, no one there saw what happened. Also maybe you didnt notice but who gave a DQ to the kid was the head judge and from what the info we have he didnt seem to hear/know everything but he couldnt do his job properly if the one that had the problem couldnt communicate properly and you cannot hold an entire tournament for too much time
@@mokato3988 the issue is this is semi final for this tournament. the judge assigned should NEVER leave the table. if they absolutely have to then another judge must relieve him before he can go. this happened because the table was nolonger supervised.
Here's a story for you, My Name is Cameron and back in 2018 When I was In high school there was a small group of players In the library who played yugioh during recess and lunch (Cuase this is in Australia) I was at the time the best player at the table with my multiple decks which people knew for doin gbut gave me the nickname of the eyes duelist because I would either play Red eyes, Blue eyes, Odd Eyes and my personal Favourite and main deck of the group Galaxy eyes, One day when I wasn't playing in the library as I was hanging with some other friends I hear from my mutual friend in the yugioh library group who said to me "hey You playing in Josh's tournament at lunch???" Now for context Josh was another player who didn't play often but when he did it was also..... Suspicious, anyway Confused I said back excitedly "No what tournament??" And proceded to be told about how Josh was holding a tournament in the library and invited everyone in person to play it, which made me realise.... I wasn't invited. now normally If I wasn't invited I wouldn't get too bothered by it and just go watch which is exactly what I planned on doing, Lunch rolls around and I'm in the library with the group which Including Josh was around 8 People, Josh stood at the front of the table and procedded to explain the rules "This tournament will be a normal tournament but with 1 aspect taken for the anime, we are doing the battle city prize rule" I immidetately knew something was up, just a detail about a majority of the kids in the group, besides Me, Josh and 1 other person the rest of the kids didn't use 100% REAL CARDS, alot of them didn't have the money and would go to local $2 shops and get the packs there which contained roughly 20-30 cards in them based on real cards but were clearly fake but every now and again these kids would be luck enough to get real cards and 1 of them recently pulled a card which at the time had only just released and was pretty strong.... Red-Eyes Slash dragon which I knew for a fact Josh wanted, as soon as I heard kids would be losing their cards I decided to mkae sure I was there for every duel josh was in just in case of any foul play and boy there was some foul play, it was the second match and by quote on quote "Random draws" Josh was up against the kid with the card, I'll call the kid Luke, the duel began and luke was actually winning against josh's blue-eyes structure deck... until he played this card he had in his hand, I can't remember what it was called but it was a spell card which looked like enemy controller but it definetly wasn't... josh had made a fake card online to win this deck, again i don't remember the name but the cards effect was it could wipe out the entire opponents field BUT at the end of the turn it goes back to the players hand, meaning he could use it over and over and over again. as soon as i realised it was a fake I forced the match to stop and pointed out to everyone that the card was fake and that this tournament was over, every person agreed to give the other players cards back if they had dueled and all agreed to just play for fun no tournament, However Josh was very unhappy with me, now for reference I'm not a normal nerd by apperance, i'm a big dude who is 6'4 and josh was around 6 foot tall, filled with rage he got up in my face and said quote "do you wanna fight C**T" I looked at him a with a smile but honestly I was shocked to see him get so mad about this, me and him around in year 10 at this point so we were 16 and to see him wanna fight me becuase I called him out for cheating was kinda ridiculous to me, I looked at him and told him "No" which he wasn't very happy about and as he was about to get up in my face again The School Lybrarian yelled out "Hey No Fighting" and tried to kick us out, after I explained to her the situation she only kicked him out, after this he didn't play in the library again but the rest of us did and I still actually play with them still from time to time but safe to say nobody wanted to play against josh again. that's my story
so, here's a funny question, what happens if a trap monster attempts to activate its trap effect ? it is both a trap AND a monster in 90% of cases (some list that they lose their trap typing after it was recognized that you could wipe the entire board with stuff like Harpies Feather Duster.
You would think that him saying that Ash isnt a monster is enough for the judges to be like "ok yeah hes one of those players that'll do anything to win"
I so want to say "that happened" but I'm reminded that this is a card game where grown adults needed to be reminded to take a bath by the official rules.
Got a funny one about a guy who got banned from our locals for repeated incidents of cheating, rulesharking, and taking advantage of the absence of a judge. This was about a year and a half ago though, and I pieced most of this together from our group chat way back when. This took place in a smaller tournament, where our cheater (we'll call him P, who was playing Marincess) cheated two separate times in the same tournament. (Note: I'm not sure what order this took place in, but I'll just assume this is how it went) In the first duel, P was against Y, our Blackwing player. P had set up a board that included Aqua Argonaut, and had passed the turn to Y. Y then played 2 Black Whirlwind and used both as CL1 and 2 to search. P then, in the absence of a judge, decided to chain Argonaut as CL3, and ASH BLOSSOM as CL4, intending to negate both search effects (i.e. Argo to negate CL1, and Ash to negate CL2). Y was unsure of the ruling, so he let it resolve, and played the game with both Whirlwinds negated. Later on, he even summoned a Bahamut Shark, and used its effect, then proceeded to OTK using it in the same turn, dismissing the restriction to attack with it. That was about all that happened in terms of cheating for that round. (looking back though, this wasnt the first time he attempted to ash something ignoring chainblocking, and he did understand chain links and chainblocking very well.) On to the second duel, P was against M, who was playing Dark Magician. I'm assuming that the duel went on for some time, because both players were tied at 2500LP. M had a Dragoon on field, so when it was P's turn, he played Dark Ruler No More, and continued his play. He then proceeded to burn M for game, regardless of DRNM preventing M from taking damage that turn. M was fairly new to the game, so he wasnt entirely sure about card effects, restrictions, and rulings, and P exploited that. After both players discussed this in the group chat that night, and asked the head judge to input, we woke up the next day to the following message: "Good Morning everyone! Effective today, 'P' will no longer be welcome to join our events and/or trading. He had already been given a final warning for cheating. Based in the information given by players present yesterday, what he did in his game with Y and M was a clear attempt to ruleshark, and taking advantage of the absence of judges. He is a veteran, and he should know a simple interaction by now." Since then, we haven't seen P in the store, not even to play MTG, another game he played. He's become somewhat of a meme and a cautionary tale at this point between the regulars in our group, and its always funny to poke at those days every now and then. Oddly enough, as inexperienced as I was back then, the only times he did beat me was when he cheated, and only after I figured out proper rulings did i catch him on his BS, but i mostly thought he was just making simple mistakes. Still, it was a funny time to think back to.
What's crazy is this has happened at Pokémon TCG Events as well, where a player will eat a key card their opponent's deck then call judge to get them thrown out. Usually though due to deck lists, the eater will get ejected while a legal Proxy will be found (if not an outright replacement if it is a lower rarity card) to be placed in the deck to allow the player to continue.
Adults playing TCGs need to remember that they are... Well, adults. Act like it. I haven't done YGO for a while, but for Digimon TCG the prize is generally a few packs; easily obtainable by a working adult for a day's worth of work. Going so far as -eating a card- then lying about it, only to brag about it later is despicable. As well I want to echo what others have said in here about the head judge also being in the wrong. Kid was clearly distressed, saying they "took" his card, and the judge just... Counts the deck, says "too bad" and DQs him? I'd probably be reluctant to participate in any tourney where they are the head judge again.
@@basillah7650 No mature adult is going to eat a child's card, lie about it, then brag about it. However, a mature adult can still enjoy trading card games like this. I think it is your who needs to review your logic.
Bro its 2024 JUST ASK TO CHECK THE CAMERAS every store worth a damn has cameras nowdays also jesus wtf was wrong with that head judge literally of course his deck is 39 IF YOUR OPPONENT DESTROYED A CARD
Player makes a complaint about their opponent taking a card from them, judge proceeds to count the deck and does in fact notice a missing card. Disqualifies them. Amazing. Where do they find these judges?
Wait a- The head judge counted the cards from a deck he knew the kid had, the kid has a claim of his card being stolen and he uses the card count TO FORCE HIM TO LOSE? There's no way that's not some sort of nefarious bullshit going on there, he knew damn well the investigation he was supposed to make and decided to traumatize the kid on purpose instead.
unfortunately in situations like this there's not much the judges can do unless they have access to security footage. simply put, it would, at minimum, require searching the entire store just to conclude that the card is actually missing and that includes searching the person of both players. It's a legal and time-investment nightmare.
I hope the labyrynth kid was playing without sleeves or that makes an already demented opponent capable of eating cards a dangerous sociopath that would eat even fucking sleeves whole.
the common consensus in the comments seems to be that he quickly removed the sleeve and likely pocketed it but the situation was so absurd that the judges did not want to investigate (at a minimum, it would have meant searching the entire store)
I kind of want a follow up to make sure that kid was okay. If someone ate my fucking card at a tournament I'd scream too. What kind of person DOES that?
I mean, when he said the other one took his card, and the judge testified there was a card missing, didn’t they think to check if it was the said card? I mean, even if he didn’t eat the card, there is a missing card, so either it’s a kid crying that the other ate his very specific card missing in his deck due to an elaborate plot to win one match, which could lead to him losing the tournament if people discover he is missing a card, OR, the other one stole the card when no one was looking. Gotta say, Ockham’s razor is kinda easy here
She's specifically a zombie girl. I think that qualifies as monster. Unless the zombie part of the card is the Joyous Spring, which would make sense since Spring is just the socially acceptable version of dead things coming back to life.
Stealing happened all the time at card tourny's someone just looks at their deck or when they shuffle other players deck just need to look away at another person to snipe cards.
That's wild, the soraey knew the kid had the card and now its suddenly not in his deck and his deck is missing a card, now whos gonna believe a grown man ate a card
"He ate my card!" *Judge checks the deck* "Yep story checks out, deck is a card short. No rule against eating cards though, so I guess that means you get ejected for having too few cards in your deck."
He was 15 dude. He was a teen. Not that young. Remember, the opponent was in his 30s. And the boy was stated to be around half his age. So that would be at least 15 or older. Granted, his temper tantrum was very immature for someone of his age. At least how the RUclipsr was describing the story. But given the circumstances that were going on, I wouldn’t honestly blame him.
And that is why under no circumstance should a game in a tournament go without a judge present at all times. The head judge should have either taken his place or dealt with the other call himself.
When I was a kid that happened to me, lost 3 cards as the dude essentially took all cards in my field. Lost 1 of my most favorite cards. i quit after that even when the store wanted to have me back and that they found the truth. I junked all the cards I had at the time, including a binder with all (at the time) alternate art works of blue eyes and it's fusion. It was one of the Dark magician cards Sorcerer of Dark Magic, Obelisk and one of the Sphinx cards.
Thanks for having my story.
Some furhter informations:
Jeffry never showed up at the store again. So i hope he still can find joy in playing Yugioh
Michael also claimed that Jeffry had dropped the card whilst siding and someone picked it up, because the sleeve was also missing.
Michael got a life time ban on our location but we never saw him again, because he wasn´t one of our "local" guys.
Loom tells the story a bit to fast, we were looking for the card and I also wanted to help him, but the head judge was "enter here some not so nice words"
And who the f thinks, that someone EATS a card, it was more reasoable that jeffry lost his card while siding
I also warned other stores in the area for this guy, but with his accent he wasn´t even a guy who lives close to us
and we got a thing that is called "data protection" in germany.
And he wasn´t throwed out of the store, the head judge and I took him out of the store to calm him down. We both couldn´t believe such things.
WHO the f EATS A CARD
Really both the judge and head judge failed big time here. You have someone vehemently claiming their opponent took/trashed one of their cards and when they find evidence for that fact they give the victim a game loss for not having a full deck? BS. I hope that kid never comes back to such a terrible store
@@Soraey honestly, you should have contacted other stores in the area and informed them about what happened. Especially since Michael wasn't a regular. If he'd do this at a store he's not used to, imagine what he does at a store he's a normal player at.
At the first half. I thought it was literally Eaten. But Xyz monsters also Eat a card.
nice job ruining that kids experience with yugioh. he literally had a card eaten tried to tell people and got kicked out for not having the card.
huge L
I hope Jeffry is doing alright. Seeing a story like this saddens me. I hope he does not give up the game completely because of this experience. This was not deserved.
Wow, I feel bad for the kid, everyone acting like he was lying and getting thrown out of the tournament might be a big enough trauma to make him quit playing paper yu-gi-oh.
L to the head judge.
Like actually how the fuck did they count his deck see it's a card down and still decide the the kid must be lying despite having seen the card was just there
Sounds like they did him a favour. Get out while your young and don't waste your life or money playing this garbage LOL.
@@melt-down Without witness is kind of hard to beleieve someone would eat a card...
Honestly, GOOD. LOOK at the state of the game. LOOK at its players. What sane individual should ever want to play modern yugioh?
"He ate my card"
*checks deck*
*1 card short*
"Well clearly you just didnt count right"
My guy, why even bother checking the card totals if it was not to find if a card was missing? Like seriously, that head judge is a massive idiot for that move and should probably never be head judge again
Especially after the grown up tired cheating right in front of the judge.
"As I suspected. You're short a card! Trying to make your deck- stop crying for a second- more consistent by lowering the card count! You- seriously, why are you whining about your boss monster being eaten? Clearly you're just trying to get your opponent kicked out! You are hereby- bro, wipe your nose ffs- Disqualified!"
Prob friends w Michael
And then the lack of situational awareness got me. Like, normally when a kid is crying there’s a good amount of truth to the words that are about to be said. “He ate my card” could’ve been “he took my card” and all it would take is a simple:
“How many? Just one? Okay…”
“Please, empty your pockets and let’s see if you have the card.”
“Why is his card in your pocket? Game loss and disqualification.”
this is such a blatantly made up story.
Not only would it be fucking impossible to eat a card fully with not a single goddamn person noticing, but then he apparently went out with that same group of people and bragged to them that yeah, he did eat a card, as if those people were not literally there for it?
such a nonsense story.

@@Basch152 There's also the question of why someone who supposedly wasn't a local, would then stay in town for the night drinking with a bunch of people he didn't know. Did he stay with one of the people he just met that night? Did he drive home drunk or have an expensive cab ride home? Why would the friend wait days to share the details about the guy admitting to it? He was at the event, he obviously knew his friend was a judge.
There's also LITERALLY an official rule that states that if your Deck List, which you register with the Judges before even being allowed to attend, isn't correct, as in you have wrong cards or you're missing cards, you're LITERALLY allowed to fix it before being punished for it.
Basically the PROPER way would've been:
1. Search the Card.
2. Card can't be found, ask Jeffry to get the Card to make the Deck legal again.
3. Jeffry DOESN'T have the Card? Try to procure the Card from someone else, for example the Judge that sat outside the Store with the Kid and offered their own Lady from their Binder.
4. If the Binder isn't accessable rn and the Card couldn't be procured another way either *Jeffry was allowed to put in Side Deck cards, adjust the Deck List and continue playing. according to the story Jeffry had a Side Deck.*
Also the actual 'punishment' for having an illegal Deck is *Game Loss*
Head Judge Disqualifying Jeffry was ALSO wrong.

how did the 39 card deck NOT give away the idea that the card was indeed eating? that is pathetic of the store and judges there
agreed, the 39 is a dead giveaway that his card indeed stolen(eaten), and judge just need to count how many copy the lady he has to prove it
If he had none or two would have been a dead giveaway.
Because they didn't believe a grown ass man would eat their opponent's card. It's so unbelievably pathetic.
Playing devil's advocate, the kid could've have made up the story after they searched their deck and realized they had 1 less copy of a card.

Genius work, truly. Head judge needs the validity of his title re-assessed. Even with the consideration that a grown adult eating his opponent's card is a pretty ludicrous outcome, you have to take into account that the opponent in question is still a child. They're less likely to lie when they're upset like that, and they're probably upset because they're going to be a bit more protective of their cards when you consider that they're more valuable possessions to someone who doesn't have their own source of disposable income.
Just a little bit of tact here would have gone a long way. Instead of wasting no time punishing him for something that he was already very visibly distraught about and may or may not have been entirely out of his control, maybe pause and try to gather a few more facts before dismissing the claim altogether. It sounds like this "Michael" was behaving like a giant douchebag the entire time anyway, so I don't think it'd be out of the question to at least humour the kid's accusation. Had the situation been dealt with properly, he might have still been attending that store and he might not have felt so wronged by the decisions made.
Hearing that Story, either nobody at the Venue was an officially licensed Judge, or they all somehow got through by being lucky.
NOBODY seemed to have raised the Rule about a player being allowed to MAKE the Deck legal if a Card is missing via Side-Deck, which according to OP, Jeffry had.
So yeah, either nobody deserved to be Judge there, OP included. Or they AREN'T actually official judges, which means OPs claim of 'Judging larger Tournaments' is also BS XD

I feel like the head judge sounds like he was in on. As outrageous of a story as it sounds if a kid is missing exactly one card, claims a guy ate one of his cards and said card would have made sense to have been the 40th card it sounds way more possibe for the card to have been eaten than the child was cheating. Thats not even accounting for how dumb the other guy sounded.
Right. They could’ve checked the guy, who most likely pocketed the sleeve. I feel they just didn’t want to deal with fighting with a guy their age and decided that the best course of action was to thrown a crying kid out of the store to avoid confrontation with the grown ass man.

This story involves arguing with a parent about card prices. I was playing SPYRAL back in their first tier 0 format. I started collecting cards since 9yo so I got some neat cards in my collection that I ended up using in my spyral deck, more specific a Ghost Rare Ancient Fairy Dragon I got since a kid.
I was playing round 4 vs a kid who was on no joking a pile of cards held over by a rubber band with no sleeves.
We say hello and proceed to game 1, I won the dice roll so I started to combo off. I summon AFD as part of my combo, when I hear my opponent asking to read AFD. I was focus on the combo so I didn't understand them so I ask if they can repeat their question.
Then it happened, he lifts his finger with kinda long nails and hits with their nails my AFD damaging it. I scream begging him to stop saying You're damaging my card stop, so I called one of the staff members to help me with this issue. Usually when someone damages a card in my local area they are expected to pay a compensation based on the damage
At first I thought it was not a big deal, sure now my AFD is damaged but I didn't expect that the impacto had left a big battle scar in the whole text box of the card.
I was pissed for the lack of respect for my cards but still keeping a cool head I told them that I knew the card is expensive but just give me about $50 for the damage. But then they star crying with their lungs off and called her mother who was waiting outside the store. She inmediatly attacked me verbaly for making their child cry so I explain the details. But then she said something:" its just cardboard, just print another, Is not a big deal"
Then it all clicked, that mother didn't knew how expensive ygo can get so I tried to explain her and even showed tcgplayer prices.
The mother got so angry that she was on a Karen Rampage saying we're all fat loosers who don't have a job (I was 15 at the time ) and that its just a piece of cardboard.
In the end the store owner ban the mother from not only this store but all brother stores too due to arguing with every soul there.
Is not as random as other stories but still kinda cursed to have a Karen insult you just for asking for something created by their son imprudence
I am so sorry 💀💀💀💀
how did the card get damaged if I may ask was the sleeve not enough to protect it?
Just using a single sleves and the kid goes all in with his nail
@@toddrichard-ph1to i mean the sleeve protected the card, imagine someone with long nails pushin down your card with the tip of their nails even with the sleeves it will damage the card

What a stupid head judge. Instead of a missing card being evidence that the kid was telling the truth, he decided to take the braindead way out of the situation. Growing up, sadly, this was the norm for how adults treated kids. I suppose I can't expect all adults at this day and age to be of higher quality.
I don't fault the judge. If there was no clear sign of the opponent chewing or a spit out card, how would they know the kid wasn't lying?
It would have been different if there was at least a witness but you can't ban people on baseless accusations. It could have been the kid realized he forgot to put 1 card in the deck and in anger started lying to not get disqualified in the next round for deck size. They had no way of knowing.

@@Trialer It's that WE know the kid wasn't lying, but THEY didn't at the time. For all they knew, the kid purposefully pulled a card out of his deck between rounds hoping to trick the judges. The only thing they could do was rule on the one thing they had evidence of: his deck was not the right size.
@@NimonoSolenze But, why would the kid do such thing? It was game 3, he already won a ruling case due to the judge being in attendance the first time, and a much needed card is gone all of a sudden which caused the outburst. A great deduction could’ve been to check the accused. If the sleeve is visible (the sleeve was indeed said to not be around), the card must be pocketed. The kid wouldn’t pocket one of his best cards, tell the judge that the opponent took his card, and hope for a victory. That would be absurd.
@@GRtogetaBIC It was semi-finals, there was no way he could’ve gotten through with that even if it was a ploy. They also kicked the kid off of a baseless accusation: that he lied and made an unnecessary scene.
And yeah, they couldn’t have known. Except they had multiple ways of knowing, they could’ve listened to the kid as this was a bullying situation (described as twice the kid’s age). They could’ve checked the grown ass man, given his attitude when judge was there before, it was likely he did something…maybe not eat the card at first glance, but very likely taken it out of sight. He had a card and sleeve. If one was eaten, the other HAS to be on his person because it’s inedible and hard to swallow.
However, they didn’t do the critical thinking and kicked the kid for crying about his card (kicked is an under-exaggeration as it was described as “thrown out” meaning he was forced out). What makes it worse, is that the judge offers him another copy after he’s kicked, making him eligible to play right then and there while the kid is still claiming innocence. There was only one victim here: the one forced out of a store for nobody knowing how to use process of elimination.
Kid: He ate my card!
Head Judge: *checks deck*
Head Judge: Hey you're missing a card, disqualified!
That Head Judge was the dumbest person in this story.
This just proves that a good chunk of "whatever the best deck is rn" dont actually give a shit about the game, just about being the best
Catching meta slave duelists off guard with rogue/random strategies always puts a smile on my face.
Head Judge: "After a thorough investigation I have concluded that you are indeed short one card. Game loss!"
My brother in Christ, how do you eat a card within seconds and still act natural about it!?
This clearly wasn't the first time he's done it, bro had practice.
No food so eat cardboard.
Big L. So the Judge's plan was either A ) What happened when 39 cards were counted, or B ) Counting 40+ and either dismissing the claim or punishing the kid for "lying"? Michael's lifetime ban is only half of what they should have done. What became of the kid that got wronged after? Did he ever go back to the store? Also imagine if the lady was like a starlight 1st ed with sentimental value or something, and kid was given a tin reprint.
I would react like Jeffery if someone ate my lady 😂
If I was a kid yes. But since I'm not, I would throw hands. It's not even about the money. I care a lot about my cards. If I witnessed that happening to someone else I would also throw hands. The thought that this poor kid might never play again because of this bastard makes my blood boil.
@ yea I’m with you on that, gone be a Thanos level crash out 😂
I mean, I would too if my Lady was a QCR. That card’s like 50 bucks or more at this point
@@SolaIvyCeleste if that was the case, they better call an ambulance, bc that dude gone pay one way or another 😂
@@lefteron6804 justifiable crashout
counting the cards at the start and end of the match should be a thing
to ensure no shenanigans like this are pulled
How you missed the opportunities to name them Keith and Rex is beyond me lol
I don't think he is the one that names them, it's the one writing the story.
it would have made the story way easier to understand. According to the entire comment lineup, I heard the events backwards because I didn't know which was which, so meanwhile, I thought that the kid was the one who didn't know how labyrinth works and then the crowd gets really crazy when an adult is suddenly screaming, "he ate my lady!" XD
Wish there was a name drop of the store this took place at. They deserve all the bad reviews that would head their way. Kid literally didn’t get an apology or something to make up for it.
So the judge counted the 39 card deck and didn't flip it over to see if he was in fact missing the lady card from his deck? Incompetent as hell.
my hungry ass could never be a yugioh player
Claim: 'He ate my card.'
Rebuttal: 'No, I didn't.'
Judge: *counts cards in deck* 'This deck is missing 1 card! That's illegal! Banned!'
My guy, how did you fail to make that connection? You don't have to be Sherlock fkin Holmes to put those together. He only has 39 cards because his 40th was EATEN! A child could do math that simple and make that connection. Who is this moron judge and please for the love of god, tell me he isn't one anymore because that is just stupidity on a level I don't want to even try comprehending. Michael got banned, but did they do anything about the judge who made the stupid ass decision to ban Jeffrey, because in my mind, he's also part of the problem. Definite contender and favorite for dumbest judge call ever.
The following story happened when I was first knowing a card store nearby the place I just moved to. The year was 2018 and, unfortunately, I never had the experience of playing YGO competitively nor going to a store like that up to that point. I was fascinated by the atmosphere, and the manager, one of the owners, was incredibly kind. As someone who loved HEROes since I was a little kid, especially Neos, my deck was built around it, and it included some random gimmicky cards since I didn't quite have the proper condition to afford a decent deckbuild. I asked for us to play a little, and everything was going alright. He knew I was not experient, so he chose a Pendulum deck that he not played that often. Around game 2, I used Polymerization, attempting to fuse Elemental Hero Neos and King of the Swamp into Rainbow Neos. "But wait a minute... You can't do that.", he says, with a slightly annoyed tone. I didn't understand much around rullings at the time, so I gave him a confused gaze, not really knowing what he meant. He explained the basics about what made that play illegal to me, and I soon understood that, apologizing, and attempting to do another thing instead. However, something interesting happened right after. He allowed me to keep Rainbow Neos on the field, but his tone started getting gradually angrier as he spoke. My turn ended with Rainbow Neos and Masked HERO Dark Law on the field. As soon as I declared End Phase, he instantly pointed at Rainbow Neos, and demanded for it to be returned to the Extra Deck. I was a bit intimidated by his sudden burst of rage, but calmly explained that Rainbow Neos is one of the few Neos fusions that don't go back to the Extra Deck at the end of the turn. He then calls for his co-worker. "They're clearly cheating!", he says. But, as soon as his co-worker reads Rainbow Neos' effect, he confirms that I was in the right. During his turn, he attempted to make a combo using his Pendulum monsters, but as long as Dark Law is on the field, every card that goes to the GY is banished instead. I used to play YGO Arc-V Tag Force Special at the time, so I knew that his monsters should be banished instead of going face-up on the Extra Deck. That was the moment he looked at me like a father who just saw his son taking a shit on the glass of his car. He started babbling about how he went through tons of official Konami tests to be a judge, and how he knew better because he played the game for longer, while I just wanted to pass that page, uneasy to see him getting fifty shades of pissed off even when I surrendered to make that situation easier. His co-worker had to intervene, apologizing for his behaviour, and after a while, as I went back home, I knew I had to avoid dueling with him again if I wanted to have any fun. ...The store closed down a year later.
Bro knew the fusion ruling on Rainbow Neos but didn’t know it stayed on the field during the end phase. Did he just assume the gimmick of Neos Fusions was an innate mechanic and not a part of the effect? The meme of yugioh players can’t read continues on. Sorry that happened to you, dude.
"Ash blossom isn't even a monster" sir 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 would you count them feet as montserous 😂
Normally these stories are hard to swallow, but this just seems untrue, to many coincidences for things to not be seen and other things overheard,
What about Jeffrey? Justice for Jeffrey!!!
Someone needs to make contact with them, check if they are still playing and start a go fund me for him to get labrynth max rarity upgrades if he so wishes.
@@lefteron6804 Hey, we never saw Jeffry again, he might quitted yugioh... and i can understand that... I am still sorry for him
@@Soraeywhy did no one reach out to him after discovering his story was true? Surely someone had some sort of contact details for the kid. It's not just about whether or not he's still playing. The kid is going to have major trust issues after being treated like that.
@@whistlinturbo He’s definitely going to have trust issues with people of authority that’s not his parents.

What absolute bullshit that he only got a ban for that nonsense.
No way we got mfs EATING CARDS😭☠️
Welp, sad for that kid. I have to say seeing an opp "eating" his card, then nobody trusted him and thinked he cheated by using 39 cards deck (it doesn't even make sense to use only 2 silver castle, the main x3 in card almost any labrynth deck) then got thrown out of the store is just enough to start his villan arc.
I hope after that he got another silver castle from the store as an apology for that:)
When I was 12 I had a guy try to steal an MTG deck of mine at a tournament, just stuck it in his box and denied that it was mine. This was like the 3rd time he had been accused of stealing cards in the time he patronized that particular shop, and given that the deck he tried to swipe from me was upwards of 500 dollars even by early 2000's standards I decided he was gonna pay for it this time. After the owner of the card shop called the police and they showed up we confronted the guy and I told them he had stolen my entire box, I had played him enough times to know most of what he carried with him and could rattle off card lists without even trying, the nail in the coffin was that I had noticed before the police arrived that the box he was using was one that was mine previously which I had given away at some point, and I knew that I had my name written on it on the top lid underneath the upholstery where it wouldn't be seen just in case it was ever stolen. Long story short the guy got a permanent ban from the place and I got the entire card box. Ran into the same dude at another shop in town a couple years later a few weeks before he was arrested for stealing directly from the shop's stock. This was the only person I ever stole cards from unless you count well wrangled trade deals, I was never one to take advantage of new players not knowing what they had and would typically step in if I saw somebody trying to sucker a newer player.
To set the scene, It was 2018 and I was off to my first comic con with my friends. I didn't know if there was going to be a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, but I'm a nerd so I would bring my Yu-Gi-Oh cards almost anywhere with me. Luckily I found a tournament starting at around lunchtime, I didn't mind and let my friends go off for some lunch as I registered and waited for the tournament to start. I was running cyber dragons, and not just any cyber dragons, specifically power bond into cyber end dragon. I'd like to just say I was 13 at the time. First match begins and I'm playing this lovely dude with a cool moustache. I win game 1, we go to game two, I don't think I have a side deck at the time, or if I do it's like 3 dark holes. Game 2 he does his plays, I summon core, get negated and so I set cybernetic overload cyber network. What this card does is summon all my banished cyber dragon monsters back... And skips my battle phase, which I had neglected to read... So he does some more stuff and I use cybernetic overload to banish my cyber dragons and destroy cards he controls. He passes turn. I top deck power bond. I activate cyber network and summon my 3 banished cyber dragon monsters back. I activate power bond, summon cyber end dragon and proceed to swing for game. My opponent picked up my cyber network, read it, looked at me and smiled. He extended his hand and said good game and moved on. This was a lovely experience and something I truly value to this day. But it goes downhill from here. Next opponent comes. He's on BA. I was not clued in to what BA does and his cards were in Italian so I really had no clue I just trusted him. He used farfa on me three times in one turn, which is not legal as it's a hard once per turn, on top of that, I wasn't told I return the monster so his farfa was actually just a discard and banish forever. Anyway, I one the first game. But there's only so much cyber end dragon can do when it is constantly banished. Suffice to say I lost that duel. One of my friends came to watch that game which wasn't my best performance. I was feeling pretty bummed but happy for the learning experience. Also, I packed Saryuja from my free packs so that was cool. Anyway, about 20 minutes later we met up with some other people we knew were at comicon. This is where the story needs some context. I am Jewish and would wear what is known as a skullcap for religious reasons. Now I wore this the entire day and so did the people we had met up with. As I was walking with them I see the guy who beat me. I give him a little smile, for acknowledgement and as he walks past, I hear him whisper to me "I wish Hitler got you to." I laughed. I just couldn't believe someone would say that. I tell the adult I'm with and we laugh about it a bit more and she just says that some people have a lot of hatred in them. I just think the whole situation is hilarious. Imagine losing a single game to a 4ft11 Jewish boy, cheating to win and then wishing that they died in the Holocaust. A truly stand up guy. Luckily I've been to more tournaments now where the people I've gone with or who knows I'm Jewish are such lovely people and ask genuinely curious questions. I also must report that noone has since said anything antisemitic to me after I've whooped their ass in a children's card game.

Its true, we don't know how to rope
Yeah, it sucks to hear about full grown adults get mad over a children's card game. The kid had more maturity then the adult.

S-EAT-LING the card
Ive had someone steal all my cards at a regional back when maxx c was first coming out hated it so much. Some people are just douchy
imagine being so deranged that you resort to not just stealing, but EATING your opponents card in order to win...
thats a whole new level of insanity.
Imagine being so mad that you eat a kids card because you can't handle a loss. Well I guess that man is a fully functioning adult.
I get that this is an outrageous, unbelievable tale in most situations and I can't tell I wouldn't have done the same for sure, but shame on the head judge for not even considering that Jeffrey might be telling the truth before issuing a loss, specially when his opponent had already proven to be problematic
Added this to a previous video but didnt realise it was already an old vid, so will post here again! Had a crazy situation at a LGS when I was like 9 in 2005.
I was 9 - I barely knew how to play the game (properly), but me and my two brothers would go to the LGS, likely to the delight to the diligent players as we were 3 easy wins. My younger bro played some kind of Des Frog deck, my older bro played a slightly altered Dury of the Feep deck (we didn't even know that Ocean Dragon Lord Neo Daedailus had a retcon), and I played an amazing VWXYZ-Cyber Dragon-Ancient Gear deck... some how the aim was to get either Future fusion / Overload fusion, or Ancient Gear Golem, or some part of VWXYZ onto the field - but it's the Union cards that are important to this story.
During one week, the local sweat of the shop, lets call him Bob, who was easily in his late 20s, had just scammed me out of some cards (not that I knew at the time, but I remember giving him 3 cards for one that was defo not worth it, but I was a gulible 9 year old), when I saw that he had a copy of VW Tiger Catapult, and I needed a second copy. I asked if I could borrow it for the day, and he said sure.
Anyway, I lose every game and go home. Oh damn... I forgot to give it back to him... Mind you, he had a full folder of lots of cards, and I'm sure VW-TC was pennies. Oh well, I'll give it to him next week and apologise. So, next week comes around, and... I forget it at home... Okay, I'll apologise and bring it back next week! So I walk in, I go up to Bob, and I say: "Hey, I'm so sorry, I forgot to give back your VW Tiger Catapult last week, and I left it at home - i'll bring it next week". At the start of this conversation, he clearly had no memory of even lending the card, but as I talked, he suddenly looked very angry. Next thing I know, he's punched me in the face. A 9 year old. For forgetting his pennies card. Don't get me wrong, must have been annoying: Lent out a card, and it wasn't returned, but it sat in his folder, and he ran a meta top listing deck (think it was lightsworn at the time? Could be wrong, it was nearly 20 years ago), he didn't need or care about this card - so his logical reaction? PUNCH.
Now I could have easily gone to the shop owner and likely got him banned of life - hell, I could have asked my dad to call the cops - but I was 9, and had NO idea what was going on. Luckily, it was a punch to my forhead, so no broken nose, no black eye, it was just a "thump".
Needless to say, I brought him his card the following week, and he didn't even care that I had given it back to him - pretty sure he forgot AGAIN about it. But the best part about this was that week I actually somehow won 2-0 against his meta deck by him just getting two dead hands, and me getting into Future Fusion/Overload fusion both games. Felt good for lil 9 year old me - even the guy recording the results was like "Wait, you beat bob?..."
Moral of the story: I dunno, but don't punch kids in the face??
Moral is: Don't be Bob. Bob is an idiot and an ass.
Remember kids, just because the judge is a judge, including the head judge, doesn’t mean they’re not idiots 🗿
I’m impressed that you started editing this video WHILE soraey was attending the event, thats some 4d chess foresight right there
august, 2024. local card shop, i was dueling some dude named Rich. unfortunately that day, i decided to be a villain and play runick stun. he was playing exodia with the new support. we both said hey and sat down for our match. game one, i stunned and milled him out. typical. game 2 though. he let me go first full knowing that i thrive on going first. draw phase, i activated runick tip to search, obviously for fountain, then the 1 banish one card. the card was one of the pieces of exodia, and he proceeded to get a bit mad. he ended up scooping right then and there. i thought everything was over until he started making vulgar jokes and then proceeded to literally fart up a storm. non stop farting in the area around me for like 15 minutes after the duel. on command too. told the judge there to like get him to calm down or stop. Rich didnt take that well and decided to rip one before getting his stuff to leave. as soon as he was leaving, he looked at me and said "you know what i think about your deck?" and then proceeded to fart loudly. now i agree i was being trash that day, but i didn't think it would drag me into a fart storm. he ended up getting a warning from the shop owner because of the farts and apparently a mother and her kid heard the vulgar jokes he was throwing around. he still shows up to the shop but unfortunately he still gassing it up in the parking lot.
Nglie this proves that Yugioh players don't shower.
😂 I mean you were playing runick jk nobody should do that around other players
Dude this series is my favourite right now!!! Keep it up man I love IRL stories and no one else is doing it
I feel that “Michael” here needs some “community correction”, in other words, being beaten silly by every able bodied patron in the shop
why did he even get removed if the judge gave him the exact card that was missing from his registered list?
Thats the thing, some small tournaments dont require a resgistered list. Also a judge cant really have a bias and "my opponent ate my card" isnt exactly something a judge can verify without witness's. He got removed because he wouldnt calm down, im not blaming the kid by any means but if you dont calm down its just going to make it worse, maybe if the kid could have kept it down he could have talked with the judge properly.
@@mokato3988 thats what i thought but the judge coulda gave the card before the dq. he probably had to dq him and the kid cried more and he was like ok fine have mine. but by that point the next round started
@@mokato3988 Way to victim blame when the kid was 1000% right in the end. He made a claim of theft, had his deck counted to verify something was missing *and the instant reaction is to declare it's THEIR fault* is beyond stupid.
@@UltimaKeyMaster Im not blaming the kid, im just saying a bunch of improper things happened that led to that outcome and the kid crying/not calming down did not help. Im not saying the kid shouldnt cry but at 15 year's old and you throw a tantrum is not exactly going to make anyone pick your side, no one there saw what happened. Also maybe you didnt notice but who gave a DQ to the kid was the head judge and from what the info we have he didnt seem to hear/know everything but he couldnt do his job properly if the one that had the problem couldnt communicate properly and you cannot hold an entire tournament for too much time
@@mokato3988 the issue is this is semi final for this tournament. the judge assigned should NEVER leave the table. if they absolutely have to then another judge must relieve him before he can go. this happened because the table was nolonger supervised.
Here's a story for you, My Name is Cameron and back in 2018 When I was In high school there was a small group of players In the library who played yugioh during recess and lunch (Cuase this is in Australia) I was at the time the best player at the table with my multiple decks which people knew for doin gbut gave me the nickname of the eyes duelist because I would either play Red eyes, Blue eyes, Odd Eyes and my personal Favourite and main deck of the group Galaxy eyes, One day when I wasn't playing in the library as I was hanging with some other friends I hear from my mutual friend in the yugioh library group who said to me "hey You playing in Josh's tournament at lunch???" Now for context Josh was another player who didn't play often but when he did it was also..... Suspicious, anyway Confused I said back excitedly "No what tournament??" And proceded to be told about how Josh was holding a tournament in the library and invited everyone in person to play it, which made me realise.... I wasn't invited.
now normally If I wasn't invited I wouldn't get too bothered by it and just go watch which is exactly what I planned on doing, Lunch rolls around and I'm in the library with the group which Including Josh was around 8 People, Josh stood at the front of the table and procedded to explain the rules "This tournament will be a normal tournament but with 1 aspect taken for the anime, we are doing the battle city prize rule" I immidetately knew something was up, just a detail about a majority of the kids in the group, besides Me, Josh and 1 other person the rest of the kids didn't use 100% REAL CARDS, alot of them didn't have the money and would go to local $2 shops and get the packs there which contained roughly 20-30 cards in them based on real cards but were clearly fake but every now and again these kids would be luck enough to get real cards and 1 of them recently pulled a card which at the time had only just released and was pretty strong.... Red-Eyes Slash dragon which I knew for a fact Josh wanted, as soon as I heard kids would be losing their cards I decided to mkae sure I was there for every duel josh was in just in case of any foul play and boy there was some foul play, it was the second match and by quote on quote "Random draws" Josh was up against the kid with the card, I'll call the kid Luke, the duel began and luke was actually winning against josh's blue-eyes structure deck... until he played this card he had in his hand, I can't remember what it was called but it was a spell card which looked like enemy controller but it definetly wasn't... josh had made a fake card online to win this deck, again i don't remember the name but the cards effect was it could wipe out the entire opponents field BUT at the end of the turn it goes back to the players hand, meaning he could use it over and over and over again.
as soon as i realised it was a fake I forced the match to stop and pointed out to everyone that the card was fake and that this tournament was over, every person agreed to give the other players cards back if they had dueled and all agreed to just play for fun no tournament, However Josh was very unhappy with me, now for reference I'm not a normal nerd by apperance, i'm a big dude who is 6'4 and josh was around 6 foot tall, filled with rage he got up in my face and said quote "do you wanna fight C**T" I looked at him a with a smile but honestly I was shocked to see him get so mad about this, me and him around in year 10 at this point so we were 16 and to see him wanna fight me becuase I called him out for cheating was kinda ridiculous to me, I looked at him and told him "No" which he wasn't very happy about and as he was about to get up in my face again The School Lybrarian yelled out "Hey No Fighting" and tried to kick us out, after I explained to her the situation she only kicked him out, after this he didn't play in the library again but the rest of us did and I still actually play with them still from time to time but safe to say nobody wanted to play against josh again.
that's my story
If a card has a type such as Dragon or Spellcaster and an attribute such as Dark or Light, it is a Monster.
so, here's a funny question, what happens if a trap monster attempts to activate its trap effect ? it is both a trap AND a monster in 90% of cases (some list that they lose their trap typing after it was recognized that you could wipe the entire board with stuff like Harpies Feather Duster.
@@nathanielbass771 That situation wouldn't really come up since the trap effect is typically the effect that special summons itself as a monster.
You would think that him saying that Ash isnt a monster is enough for the judges to be like "ok yeah hes one of those players that'll do anything to win"
Jeffery was Vsing Weevil Underwood IRL that shit is diabolical.
Someone eats my card they better be prepared for me to eat their whole deck
while I can understand the sentiment... you would be in a LOT of pain and likely have to undergo multiple invasive surgeries ^^;
@nathanielbass771 A worthy price to pay. But at least I can skip dinner after.
"He stole my card"
Head: "well let me count your deck"
Head: "39 cards. Game loss. Shouldnt let your cards get stolen"
L judge, i would report that.
I so want to say "that happened" but I'm reminded that this is a card game where grown adults needed to be reminded to take a bath by the official rules.
Got a funny one about a guy who got banned from our locals for repeated incidents of cheating, rulesharking, and taking advantage of the absence of a judge. This was about a year and a half ago though, and I pieced most of this together from our group chat way back when.
This took place in a smaller tournament, where our cheater (we'll call him P, who was playing Marincess) cheated two separate times in the same tournament. (Note: I'm not sure what order this took place in, but I'll just assume this is how it went)
In the first duel, P was against Y, our Blackwing player. P had set up a board that included Aqua Argonaut, and had passed the turn to Y. Y then played 2 Black Whirlwind and used both as CL1 and 2 to search. P then, in the absence of a judge, decided to chain Argonaut as CL3, and ASH BLOSSOM as CL4, intending to negate both search effects (i.e. Argo to negate CL1, and Ash to negate CL2). Y was unsure of the ruling, so he let it resolve, and played the game with both Whirlwinds negated. Later on, he even summoned a Bahamut Shark, and used its effect, then proceeded to OTK using it in the same turn, dismissing the restriction to attack with it. That was about all that happened in terms of cheating for that round. (looking back though, this wasnt the first time he attempted to ash something ignoring chainblocking, and he did understand chain links and chainblocking very well.)
On to the second duel, P was against M, who was playing Dark Magician. I'm assuming that the duel went on for some time, because both players were tied at 2500LP. M had a Dragoon on field, so when it was P's turn, he played Dark Ruler No More, and continued his play. He then proceeded to burn M for game, regardless of DRNM preventing M from taking damage that turn. M was fairly new to the game, so he wasnt entirely sure about card effects, restrictions, and rulings, and P exploited that.
After both players discussed this in the group chat that night, and asked the head judge to input, we woke up the next day to the following message:
"Good Morning everyone! Effective today, 'P' will no longer be welcome to join our events and/or trading. He had already been given a final warning for cheating.
Based in the information given by players present yesterday, what he did in his game with Y and M was a clear attempt to ruleshark, and taking advantage of the absence of judges.
He is a veteran, and he should know a simple interaction by now."
Since then, we haven't seen P in the store, not even to play MTG, another game he played. He's become somewhat of a meme and a cautionary tale at this point between the regulars in our group, and its always funny to poke at those days every now and then. Oddly enough, as inexperienced as I was back then, the only times he did beat me was when he cheated, and only after I figured out proper rulings did i catch him on his BS, but i mostly thought he was just making simple mistakes. Still, it was a funny time to think back to.
I was wondering how this happened through a sleeve until he mentioned he was a child waiting for his parents to pick him up.
The "Blue-Eyes White Dragon isn't a Blue-Eyes Monster" guy : Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary !
What's crazy is this has happened at Pokémon TCG Events as well, where a player will eat a key card their opponent's deck then call judge to get them thrown out.
Usually though due to deck lists, the eater will get ejected while a legal Proxy will be found (if not an outright replacement if it is a lower rarity card) to be placed in the deck to allow the player to continue.
Bro head judge was also missing one braincell to much for his job 🤦🏻♀️
Adults playing TCGs need to remember that they are... Well, adults. Act like it.
I haven't done YGO for a while, but for Digimon TCG the prize is generally a few packs; easily obtainable by a working adult for a day's worth of work. Going so far as -eating a card- then lying about it, only to brag about it later is despicable.
As well I want to echo what others have said in here about the head judge also being in the wrong. Kid was clearly distressed, saying they "took" his card, and the judge just... Counts the deck, says "too bad" and DQs him? I'd probably be reluctant to participate in any tourney where they are the head judge again.
They are playing a kids game because they do not want to act their age in the first place you make zero sense or logic.
@@basillah7650 No mature adult is going to eat a child's card, lie about it, then brag about it. However, a mature adult can still enjoy trading card games like this.
I think it is your who needs to review your logic.
What is it that makes Yugioh have the absolute most toxic players ever...

Bro its 2024 JUST ASK TO CHECK THE CAMERAS every store worth a damn has cameras nowdays also jesus wtf was wrong with that head judge literally of course his deck is 39 IF YOUR OPPONENT DESTROYED A CARD
Player makes a complaint about their opponent taking a card from them, judge proceeds to count the deck and does in fact notice a missing card. Disqualifies them. Amazing. Where do they find these judges?
Wait a-
The head judge counted the cards from a deck he knew the kid had, the kid has a claim of his card being stolen and he uses the card count TO FORCE HIM TO LOSE? There's no way that's not some sort of nefarious bullshit going on there, he knew damn well the investigation he was supposed to make and decided to traumatize the kid on purpose instead.
unfortunately in situations like this there's not much the judges can do unless they have access to security footage. simply put, it would, at minimum, require searching the entire store just to conclude that the card is actually missing and that includes searching the person of both players. It's a legal and time-investment nightmare.
@@nathanielbass771 too bad. you know an easy way top avoid it. don't take the judge away duroign a match
Don’t doubt this story my friend ate my mirror force and my monster reborn
I hope the labyrynth kid was playing without sleeves or that makes an already demented opponent capable of eating cards a dangerous sociopath that would eat even fucking sleeves whole.
the common consensus in the comments seems to be that he quickly removed the sleeve and likely pocketed it but the situation was so absurd that the judges did not want to investigate (at a minimum, it would have meant searching the entire store)
That's kind of brilliant. If there's no witnesses, you can just deny it.
Secret effect: gaslighting my opponent and the judge
I kind of want a follow up to make sure that kid was okay. If someone ate my fucking card at a tournament I'd scream too. What kind of person DOES that?
I found it ridiculous that the judges had to dq a kid, because they thought they were lying, a lot of the time you have to take their word for it.
I mean, when he said the other one took his card, and the judge testified there was a card missing, didn’t they think to check if it was the said card? I mean, even if he didn’t eat the card, there is a missing card, so either it’s a kid crying that the other ate his very specific card missing in his deck due to an elaborate plot to win one match, which could lead to him losing the tournament if people discover he is missing a card, OR, the other one stole the card when no one was looking. Gotta say, Ockham’s razor is kinda easy here
Ash Blossom is not a monster. She is just a girl.
She's specifically a zombie girl. I think that qualifies as monster. Unless the zombie part of the card is the Joyous Spring, which would make sense since Spring is just the socially acceptable version of dead things coming back to life.
A "dead" girl
The question on everbody's mind: did Micheals turd came out as a ghost rare?
me getting free cards
Imagine Michael eat his opponent's card in Master Duel
I think from a competive play perspective you can descire Snakes at that point as a classic Combo deck. With mid grind game (for the time)
this is one of the wildest stories I've heard bout in 2024
Thanks for summarizing the events so thoroughly! 🤣🤣
"My turn I eat your card now you cant use what isnt there"
Judge "wait thats illegal"
Stealing happened all the time at card tourny's someone just looks at their deck or when they shuffle other players deck just need to look away at another person to snipe cards.

I'd buy him whatever deck he wanted if he came forward, that's some bullshit.
I've heard some wild stories from card events, but I've never heard of another player eating a card out of anger.
That's wild, the soraey knew the kid had the card and now its suddenly not in his deck and his deck is missing a card, now whos gonna believe a grown man ate a card
"He ate my card!"
*Judge checks the deck*
"Yep story checks out, deck is a card short. No rule against eating cards though, so I guess that means you get ejected for having too few cards in your deck."
This is another great reminder to typically believe a child, and do not believe the adult.
Hollywood can't make up a story as weird as this.
He was 15 dude. He was a teen. Not that young.
Remember, the opponent was in his 30s. And the boy was stated to be around half his age. So that would be at least 15 or older. Granted, his temper tantrum was very immature for someone of his age. At least how the RUclipsr was describing the story. But given the circumstances that were going on, I wouldn’t honestly blame him.
And that is why under no circumstance should a game in a tournament go without a judge present at all times. The head judge should have either taken his place or dealt with the other call himself.
When I was a kid that happened to me, lost 3 cards as the dude essentially took all cards in my field. Lost 1 of my most favorite cards. i quit after that even when the store wanted to have me back and that they found the truth. I junked all the cards I had at the time, including a binder with all (at the time) alternate art works of blue eyes and it's fusion.
It was one of the Dark magician cards Sorcerer of Dark Magic, Obelisk and one of the Sphinx cards.
I can't, there's no way the guy actually thought Ash wasn't a monster.
He ate my lady same energy as my dog ate my homework
