I've lost count of how many times I've said, "Wait, that's allowed?" while watching this show. It's like Karuta's designed to encourage these kinds of unfair playing tactics -- other than Taichi switching the cards, we've never seen any bizarre play that wasn't legal under the rules. So Yumin's play was as fair as Desktop-kun knocking half the cards off the field, or Taichi pshyching out Nishida.

That said, Chihaya should've contested Yumin's claims, regardless of whether they're true or not. Also: doesn't Karuta have referees? You'd figure after the first dispute, given Yumin's rep, one of the officials would be there to make the call instead of relying on the players to settle it themselves.
