Aaron has a Jace, the Mind Sculptor in play. He activates Jace’s +2 ability, and looks at the top card of Nadine’s library. He thinks for a moment, then shows it to Nadine and asks, “Is this the card you’re looking for?” while trying to read a reaction.
Nadine’s reaction is to put her hand up in the air and yell, “JUDGE!”
How do you rule?
Judges, feel free to discuss this scenario on Judge Apps!
View AnswerReferring to the MTR (3.12), this behaviour is specifically allowed, “… players may choose to reveal their hands or any other hidden information available only to them, unless specifically prohibited by the rules.”
And while some judges questioned whether this was USC-Minor, attempting to gain additional information by trying to read your opponents behaviour is not Unsporting Conduct.
