What tournament? Did they tell you that with HP you would be illegal? What is the exact scenario?
That is a interesting that happen. Although it didn't happen to us in CA, but I think you are disqualified for that category, therefore, you are still be able to participate in other categories. Tourney Judges, please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
We need a rule check on Disqualifications. My deck accidentally became illegal Mid-game (Due to Haman's Plot and 2 other cards). Obviously that disqualified me from the game, but does that disqualify me from the entire tournament?-C_S
From p. 11 of the Tournament GuideAt the conclusion of each game within a match a player may ask a referee or a judge to re-check an opponent’s deck for legality. If the deck is found to be illegal in any way, the player automatically forfeits the game. (NOTE: If the judge feels the illegal deck was non-deliberate/unintentional, the judge may decline the forfeiture and call for a rematch. If a rematch is called for, the player must make his deck legal and then take one lost soul from his deck and give it to his opponent to place in his opponent’s land of redemption. The opponent will start will one redeemed lost soul advantage.) Furthermore, if a rematch game would, in the opinion of the judge, be too disruptive to the tournament schedule, the judge may choose to award any lost soul cards missing from the player’s deck to the opponent’s final score for that game.
Any games you played with a legal deck should count.
Josh, you guys should have called me. I could have helped you out. Jonathan and Andrew should still have my phone number.
It seems to me that this is a problem with the judge/deck checker.

On page 10 on the tournament guide, it gives a list of order that each player "must have their deck organized." Mayby next time they can follow this guide so it won't happen again.
my deck was in the correct order, I just didn't double check the cards.
The point is that the host/judge should have checked the deck. You should never be the only one who checks your own deck.

If there aren't enough people to have a non-playing human judge, then simply let each person check the deck of the person on their right.
In my experience missed items during deck check-in do not create most of the problems. Rather, problems arise when players gather up cards that don't belong to them at the end of the game. For this reason, it is very important that each player stay with their opponent and review their deck after each game. At the very least you should recount your cards after each game to make sure you have the same count as when you started.
