Would it be worth looking into what was side boarded, and see if it fits with previous opponent? This would depend on if he called himself out before or after he knew he was being checked.

At a PTQ I once had a deck check judge bring me a problem: one deck was Affinity and the other one was pre-sideboarded with artifact hate. When I interviewed the player and asked what he sideboarded against his last round opponent he listed a completely different set of cards. Alarm bells were ringing in my head.

If a player calls attention to a DDLP after the judge has announced the deck check, then I'm certainly not downgrading. What he says may spark an investigation, but I would be very uncomfortable downgrading in that circumstance.
@David: This actually isn't that hard to do. We can quickly check with the scorekeeper to see who he played last round. We find where that player is this round. We go over to that player, pull him aside from the match and ask the following questions:
How much time was left in the round when you finished your match last round?
What're you playing?
Do you know what he might have boarded in against you?
(and possibly others depending upon on the answers to those questions)
And yes, we are going to need to make a few judgement calls. We are judges after all. Checking someone's story during an investigation is often a good idea.
Originally posted by William Anderson:The way I read the scenario this isn't as much after the announced deckcheck but more a case of ‘checking sideboard, discover error, at same moment DC judge comes in.’
