JudgeCast

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we trek through the misty mountains to retrieve the release notes for the latest MTG set, The Hobbit. We delve too deep into the newest mechanics of Storied, and Recruit, as well as a new type of counter, the Hone counter. Then we talk about new cards, and they keep coming, like uninvited dwarves to a party. We've got something for everyone, even if you are a Sackville-Baggins. Well, Not Lotho. He knows what he did. (but if you didnt read the books, you might not know)

Whats better than playing Magic side by side with an elf? Playing Magic side by side with a friend.

Yes, but what about second friend? Ok, enough of that, its not even the right IP.

Join Bryan and Marcos as we talk to the Head Judge of Magic Spotlight Marvel Super Heroes Team Trios event, John Brian McCarthy. Sealed events can be a challenge, but Team Sealed events can be even challenginger. We talk about what makes team Trios different from regular events, and what preparation goes into ensuring they run smoothly. These are a fun and unique event that are rather rare at the LGS level, but you can learn a lot from the larger events and bring the fun home with you.

Join Bryan and Charles as we discuss Limited RCQs with Sam Philliber. Your LGS has just asked you to run a limited RCQ and you haven't done one before. What should you expect? How do you do a "pool swap"? Do you need any special materials? What's involved in running the top 8? Should I time the draft? With all the tips and tricks in this episode, you will be ready to pull off your RCQ without any [judge created] issues.

Join Charles and Marcos as they drag Bryan, kicking and screaming, into a discussion around one of the newer tournament types: CEDH. Love it or hate it, players are willing to pay TOs to be asked 'Did you pay the 1?" for seven hours. As a result, it's a topic that judges should be somewhat aware of before their LGS TO says "I'm having a CEDH tournament in two weeks, are you available?"In this episode we talk about the different meanings of "CEDH", the round structure, podding, penalties, how to deal with overly talkative players, and what special software or tools you might need to keep your event running smoothly. While we do predominately discuss CEDH within the convention setting, we also talk about CEDH at the local level.
