That easily could have happen to me too once I got finished looking at them closely =( Also your story about you being a big cheater made me look at my own protectors and my sideboard cards..

It ended up mattering that day as I ended up playing 10 rounds so there would have been a noticeable difference in the amount of wear on my sleeves. Plus it was a nice calming routine to have between each round. Just a little advice that I hope helps someone that reads these forums somewhere down the road. I used to get you guys from MTGCast, but I usually run out of podcasts before that site updates so I come here and go to the World-Wide Headquarters - CommanderCast.com to get these two a bit early. :) A helpful tip that my friend gave me last year at States was to shuffle up after each round or two and pull out 15 random cards from my deck then swap those sleeves for the ones from my sideboard.

So confused... I guess I'll have to listen to the episode to find out.

Especially if I get an Elocutors I'm totally going to have a copy of the comp rules with me and announce all I do with "In accord with rule 502.6a..." No mention of Kokusho being unbanned? Selsnya hookers. For the prerelease, at least the first one I do, I’m going Azorious.

If Search the City exiled face down, then it would also have to make you reveal the cards as you moved them to your hand (nothing in the text on the card makes you reveal anything). Because the hand is a hidden zone, if there was no reveal then there'd be no way to verify whether you're picking up the correct card or being a massive Cheatyface (like me!).

Right? I think on the card, Search the City, you don’t have to reveal the cards you exiled until you play the card you are returning to your hand. Right?
