Silly tournament mistakes
 
If you play in a regular tournament, or have ever played in a sanctioned tournament before, you might have been up against someone who's made a mistake, be it big or small. Feel free to post them here. :)

Not long ago I was up against someone who ran Banette ex. It had 60HP left, and my Gardevoir ex had all of its 150HP left. My opponent used Holon Transceiver to grab a Supporter card from his discard pile.

That cost him the game. :P And it seriously did, because I beat him the next turn. Because he took the Supporter card out of the discard pile and not the deck, he could only do 140 damage (including weakness) to Gardevoir, otherwise it'd have been 160 and he'd have won.

So the next turn I got rid of his Banette ex and won the game. :) Even now, every time he plays Banette ex, one of us who saw him do it (me, the tourney organiser and another player) are like "Deck, not discard pile". :P

Mwahaha I never make a mistake ^^
Except for the one time at Nationals and I decided to show off by KOing something with an ex (when anything would have done) and ended up losing.. bah. >_<

If my opponent makes a mistake, I always just take advantage of it. It's pretty dirty playing but then again it's their fault for messing up. XD
A common one I see is people using non modified cards at tournaments, that bugs me. Once my opponent decided to KO his own Lanturn and play on, even though it had 20HP left and I was like.. okay.. whatever.. and carried on.

My younger brother once played a State Championship game and completely forgot about Dark Dragonites weakness in a few games, until I pointed it out. (He didn't do that great anway :D)
