I mean if they did it in ANY manner away from a judge, e.g. in a car,
in the restroom, at the food stand, etc. Which is why it'd be
useless. You can't legislate against players talking, which is what
it would take.
No one's talking about removing rules; you're talking about adding.
I'm asking why we should add an impossible-to-enforce rule.

What is the combat module? I have a CEL/pot deck that is basically
nothing but thrown gates, pursuits, lids and psyches.
Gate to long, if they majesty then psyche, otherwise pursuit and throw
a lid.
Sometimes works. I think has won a couple of games but can also bomb.
Crypt needs some tuning (needs more Dunn...)

It depends on when or how they did it. If they did under the judge's
nose, it could be enforced.
You mean, "If they were reasonably careful about how they did it,
it would be impossible to enforce." OK.
Should we have less? Should we remove all the effectively impossible-
to-detect-or-enforce rules we have now?

Without bothering to dispute the rest of what you said - we're simply

May I ask, what is your definition of 'teammate'?
NIT: It'd be IMPOSSIBLE to enforce.
So we should have more rules creating more impossible-to-detect
and/or impossible-to-enforce scenarios? :P
May I ask, what is your definition of 'fairly'?
Some players would say that scouting is part of the game and

Re: Final Table Seating

See, again, in this discussion I will *always* fall back on:
Because there is a significant, concrete advantage to knowing what the
other finalists' decks do, and because it would be so much
preposterous work to try and prevent scouting, the game should simply
embrace it and assume that everyone is going to scout. And just not

No strike.

Re: (LSJ) Meat Hook's press

My understanding of LSJ's answer is that he's given the optional press
after strike declaration, and before strike resolution. The "check" I
was talking about is the "If the opposing minion doesn't dodge the
strike" part. After strike declaration, the weapon is used, but since
we're not yet at strike resolution, it is still in play.

1) Yep, it's relevant.
2) It's a good point and worth discussing.
3) I agree; this is the one hole in my view of scouting. I may have even
have been the person you recall pointing this out. (I believe I did
mention it in a post in one of the earlier threads. I may not have been
the only one.)
Thinking about it, I'm be tempted to say this is perhaps the one rule I'd
