In the finals of the LA regionals, we just witnessed Andrew Hedrick stall to gain an advantage and be issued a double prize penalty. Andrews advantage was not taken away. They still had the time to think and make a play and they even got more time during the judges deliberation. As both decks in play were Dragapults, the 2 prize penalty didn't really matter as both decks can take multi prize turns late game. In a meta that is so dominated by Dragapults, are these penalties actually enough? What is stopping players from stalling if the penalty ultimately means nothing?
