Gitaxian Probe = Win

Something amazing just happened on SCG Charlotte stream. It's game 1 turn 1, Gerry Thompson's opponent play Gitaxian Probe. Then Gerry scooped. ಠ_ಠ

Would you rather protect your information or give it a try? Who knows, your opponent might have a bad hand.

Bigger news: Gerry cheated in game 3.

In play he had Nihil Spellbomb, Island, 2 Seachrome Coasts, a Shimmering Grotto and a Pristine Talisman. His opponent goes to equip Sword of War and Peace, he Ancient Grudges, initially tapping Grotto+Talisman+Coast1. Then he rearranges and taps Island+Talisman+Coast1. Nobody notices, then EOT he breaks his Spellbomb and draws a card with Grotto+Coast2.

tl;dr: He could only Grudge or draw a card with the Bomb, not both. I understand what he was trying to do and I don't think it was blatant cheating but just sloppy play. Judges looked at it and gave him a warning.

When did the judge give the warning?
