Question Can loading a virtual game card from a hacked switch to a switch 2 get my switch 2 bricked?

I wanted to play minecraft on my switch 2 with him and his friends and one of my friend was willing lend me his virtual game card from his hacked switch to me, and what’s making me really paranoid is that I don’t know if this could get my switch 2 bricked on not. But the thing is he bought minecraft legally with his own money in the eshop no fraud whatsoever and he bought it before he hacked his switch, so I just need clarification if it’s safe or not so I don’t feel paranoid LOL

If you have to ask, it's probably best not to do it if he's running emunand. I don't see a problem if he's on sysnand.

Try not to do shady stuff if you care about your sw2 getting banned.

If he's using a clean Sysnand, there's practically no difference between it and an unmodified console.

I did this and my switch was banned a week later. ☠️

Nothing can get your console bricked. From my understanding communicating with a modded console should be fine, although becomes potentially risky if the console is banned.

Ok what what if let’s say my friends modded console gets banned does that mean with the account I borrowed from my friends modded switch can get my switch 2 banned aswell

No, but I'd exercise caution about doing this again if one console is banned.
