Sometimes you have to get cards out of your hand to make them choose the Psychic Purge

My opponent tries to play any spell. Can I in response cloudshift the mage to name the card my opponent is playing and essentially counter that spell?

No. Once the spell is on the stack, changing what's named with the mage will have no effect on it resolving.

I had out Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and my opponent had out Fire Servant. He used Cerebral Eruption and I had a card with 5 CMC (Garruk, Primal Hunter) on top of my library. I was at 5. In which order which order do they resolve? Gisela first or Fire Servant? (It was either my losing that turn or my brother losing the next turn with my board. We just started another game because we had no clue.)

If multiple replacement effects would modify how damage would be dealt, the player being dealt damage (or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage) chooses the order in which to apply those effects.

Does damage wear off right at the beginning of the end step? For example, if I cast Giant Growth on my Llanowar Elves and block a 2/2, does the 2 damage marked on the elves go away before the effect of Giant Growth ends?

Welcome to MOTL. Please refrain from answering rules questions unless you're 100% sure of the answer.

---

Yes. Any noncombat damage you deal to them can be redirected to a planeswalker they control.

At Regular REL with no deck lists, for sealed/draft events, you are allowed to change your deck. You do not have to return it between matches. (pre-releases, release event and FNM are good examples of when this is ok)

The rule is MTR 7.2
"Players participating in Limited tournaments that do not use decklists may freely change the composition of their
decks between matches by exchanging cards from their deck for cards in their sideboard without being required to
return their deck to its original composition before their next match. The Head Judge or Tournament Organizer
must inform players if this option is not being used prior to the start of deckbuilding. This option is not available
at Competitive or Professional REL tournaments."

If you don't, you have an illegal deck. The penalty would depend on at which level you were playing, but I'd imagine in most cases, Match loss, if not disqualification.

---

The first time penalty is almost always a game loss (casual REL the judge may downgrade to a warning + fix) if it is accidental (ie you realize when you draw your opening 7 that X card shouldnt be there and call a judge, or when you go to sideboard for game2 and realize you didnt deboard). If it's found to be a habit, or you realize you didnt deboard but dont inform a judge, it will turn into a cheating investigation, with a penalty of Disqualification++.
