What penalty should be applied to a player who gets into tournie final
and has a legal deck, but has written on his list a minor fault
respect to the real deck. The fault consist to jot down a vampire
instead of another. The deck is near to disciplineless and the vampire
has no special abilities ( wrote Spleen, had Givraan Dalaal on the
deck).
This is a real situation which happened last 21th May. The player
entered second place, with 2 Tables + 9 points, last seed was 1 Table
+ 6,5 points or 7 points (can´t remember exactly).

Report him to the local authorities and have him arrested immediately!
But seriously, just allow the deck list to be corrected.
If there's no potential foul play going on here, what's the big deal?

I'm not in charge or anything, but I'd say that a reasonable penalty
would be to say "Huh. That's not right. Make sure it is next time."
and fix the deck list if you insist on having them. End of story.

If you (the judge) suspect that he cheated (and swapped out Spleen for
Ghivraan in response to something that occurred during the tournament
-- like a preponderance of other decks with Spleen in them), then DQ
him.
If you suspect that it's just a problem of jotting, then make it match
(swap out Ghivraan for the as-written Spleen) when the disparity is
discovered (unless it's in the middle of the game and the substitution
unduly affects play).

Thank you for the answers!!! Sadly the penalty applied was game loss
for the player, so he couldn´t enter the final round.
This happened on a big tournie ( 46 players) and the player, a friend
of mine, is deeply disappointed with the decission.
The judges, in my modest oppion, applied wrongly the rule for illegal
deck. You either apply disqualification, because you think it´s a
cheat or let it be corrected if you think it´s not.
