The risk is financial. I am trying to be practical. I don't care about punishing them I am trying to make it economically not worth it for them. That will eliminate cheaters FASTER than the threat of legal or other repercussions or Mastro would've scared everyone straight. But if you could create a model where they don't make a profit I think they move on much more quickly.

I would also argue that the detection process has to improve LESS with my model. The submissions that inspired the idea were HALF REJECTED. By that stick it doesn't matter if the half they passed were also altered as they wouldn't have been graded.

I've submitted the very occasional doctored card. I think I had two in a bulk submission once. I haven't doctored a card since I recolored some 1971's when I was 11, not knowing in 1983 that it was a bad thing to do. You set the threshold where the accidentally submitted alterations don't result in the repercussions.

I think there are definitely issues with the idea, but I actually think it addresses your concerns quite well.
