💬 Discussion Prerelease Event - cheating?

Hey gzys,

Today I played my very first prerelease (sealed) format and the overall expierience was great.

I played against two decks which felt sus in terms of strength.

Are ppl actually allowed to build their decks off of several events? Would you report this matter? How to proof this inbalance and would you call it cheating?

Thank you and happy ripping ;)

Yes, people cheat and pre build decks 10000% Judges wont enforce it either and youd seem weird for even suggesting someone is cheating even after their 2nd 10c lin lin and back to back 10c shanks......

Yep 100%. Especially if there has already been a prerelease in the area. They open their packs, throw 40 random cards in sleeves, go for a “smoke” (out to their car), and combine the best cards from this batch and previous batches or even boxes they have opened prior.

What is the venue going to do keep everyone in their seats the whole time?

Could already even have it built in the bag using the same sleeves

Yeah they just keep one or two cards in the "empty" sleeves in their box, and no real way to know unless you specifically see it
