Not sure if this goes in here, but a question regarding tournament etiquette

I don't care if this gets moved, only that it answers the question:

 

If a player's deck needs to be checked by the opponent (the most common example is to confirm a lack of targets for an effect), can the owner of the deck have a judge confirm it, instead of the player's opponent?

No, and the same applies for checking hands with Mind Crush etc, the player has a right to check. 

 

Also this should be in the rulings questions.
