  In any card game “damn, I can’t win this turn/hand” is the oldest bluff in the book. Should have told the kid his shoes were untied and refrigerator was running while you’re at it

  If I’m at a competitive tournament and my opponent says unprovoked “damn it, I can’t win next turn” I’ll immediately assume he can win next turn. Come on, people.

  Cowboybob didn't break any rules. Sounds like his opponents were just salty that they didn't win.

  "i can't win this turn" says every cedh player right before winning on their turn

  Imagine if it was illegal to lie in the given case: <br>&quot;I can&apos;t win this turn.&quot; - &quot;I resign. Hey, judge, my opponent lied, therefore the match goes to me!&quot;

  If a player casts silence and then says they can&apos;t win, and you believe them, that&apos;s on you

  If someone doesn’t tell me their tarmagoyf’s power and toughness they can wait for me to look through their graveyard, take a piss, and then look through their graveyard again

  I remember the first time I got called out for &quot;lying&quot; in a match. My opponent asked me if I had any flying creatures on the board. I said no. He attacked me with 3 flying creatures, and I blocked them with my army of reachy spider bois. I didn&apos;t even lie. I just didn&apos;t give up extra info for free.

  Saying that you can’t win this turn is not even something the player could know because there’s information hidden from them too. They don’t know what kind of interaction the opponents have, they don’t know what cards they’re going to mill or draw, etc. It’s entirely plausible he topdecked the reclamation which opened the breach line. There’s no way for someone to be able to truthfully say they can or can’t win on a turn unless they’re in the middle of a process that will win the game while no opponent is able to stop it.

  As someone who plays Yugioh and Magic, it&apos;s funny comparing these rules to Yugioh&apos;s rules, especially the rules on private information. In Yugioh, not only are you not allowed to tell your opponent false information about the contents of a hidden zone, you&apos;re not allowed to tell them TRUE information about hidden zones.
