The first DQ is a bizarre story. Towards the middle of the first day, a judge was called to a table at which one of the players (let's call him Mr. Shady) had just cast Dissolve from his Mono-Blue Devotion deck, and his opponent wanted to check that it was not a sideboard card as it normally is. The judge gets the players' names, pulls the lists, and is surprised that Mr. Shady's deck list doesn't even contain a single blue card. In fact, he had registered Jund Monsters! After double-checking names and deck lists, the judge returns to the table, where Mr. Shady is nowhere to be found. His opponent explains that after the judge call, Mr. Shady had picked up his deck, muttered something about the police, and ran off! A DQ was entered into the system for cheating, and that was that.

Or was it? Bizarrely enough, a while later it turns out that Mr. Shady wasn't actually Mr. Shady at all: Diligent investigations from the judges revealed that the player who had sat down at the table to play with his Mono-Blue Devotion deck was not the same person who had registered the Jund Monsters deck. That is, unless he had suddenly gone bald and gained 20 pounds in between rounds. The Jund Monsters player was found at the site and claimed that he had not shown up at the table due to an urgent, lengthy phone call, assuming that he would have gotten a match loss and dropped for that. Although this was all fairly suspect, there was no hard evidence of any wrongdoing on his part, so the DQ was annulled. The imposter was never caught.
