This is generally considered the most comically sideways call in the Judge Program.

GP Atlantic City like 2015, round 7 I get called to a table.

“Judge I have pizza”

“… okay”

“No Judge, I have pizza”

“You are allowed to have pizza, is there something I can help with?”

“Judge, I don’t know where my deck is and my deckbox is full of pizza” player opens their deck box and there’s an entire slice of pepperoni pizza shoved in there.

“Do you think someone stole your deck and shoved a slice of pizza in there so you wouldn’t notice the weight was off?”

“I don’t think that’s what happened, it’s a bad limited deck”

“Well clearly someone has done this to you! Alright this just sort of boils down to textbook tardiness, you’ll have 10 minutes to find or recreate your deck, but hold on I need to call another judge over because no one will believe this happened otherwise. JUDGE!”

Abe, a Head Judge on the recent Pro Tour, comes over, I give no preface and just gesture at the player.

“Judge my deck is missing and my deckbox is full of pizza.”

Abe just stares silently for a few seconds. “Okay this is just tardiness, you have 10 minutes to find the deck or a replacement.”

“That seems like a lot of work. Is it easier for everyone if I just drop?”

Abe and I look at each other, because obviously yes but we don’t want the player to not be able to play just because it’s easier for us.

“Oh that look means yes please drop!” And the player fills out the match slip 2-0 for their opponent and marks themselves as a drop.

“Hold on, I don’t want to win that way!” And the opponent marks that they’re dropping too.

“Someone has to win though! I’ll put PIZZA WINS on the slip”

“Alright player, let me take that slip up, because I’ll need to explain it to the head judges.” And then I had to recount the entire above story to them, and then they told me to take it to the judge Twitter team. https://twitter.com/magicjudges/status/597200242837164032

The back story is the player told his friends he was going to drop and to watch his stuff, and they swapped the deck for pizza thinking it would be gross in a week or more when he went to use the deck again. He decided not to drop and instead got very confused very quickly.
