1:34:00

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as they spend entirely too much time and go into entirely too much detail on all the things you need to consider when taking a call as a Judge. Quick, what are the first three things you should do when you hear “Judge!”. Did you know there are things were supposed to be doing even before that? There are many types of calls you might get at an event. Running all the way from requests to go to the bathroom/request for oracle text, all the way up to having to de-escalate players calling each other cheaters. We spend this episode talking about the tips and tricks you need in order to successfully navigate all these different types of calls at your LGS all the way up to the Pro Tour…

In this episode Charles and Marcos troll Bryan by making him hype his least favorite infraction: Hidden Card Error, aka HCE, aka GRV-Private, aka Super Obnoxious Error. We go over how to recognize when HCE has occurred and when it hasn’t as well as the flow chart that handles all the exceptions and variables. It’s a fun time. If your last name is De Sade.…

Are you expecting a racing pun here? Too bad, because our special guest, Perry Kraker used them all in the episode. Like I would have to resort to Smokey and the Bandit, Days of Thunder, or maybe even Christine puns. And no one wants that. Join Bryan, Charles, and Perry as we talk about all the mechanics in Aetherdrift, and several of the cards you might see in your prerelease.

JudgeCast #340 – Top 10 Worst in Magic 1:19:39

hace 8 weeks1:19:39

1:19:39

Hello and Welcome to JudgeCast. Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we take a somewhat tongue-in-cheek take on the Top 10 worst rules/mechanics in Magic. We pull from the IPG, MTR, and Comprehensive Rules on this tour-de-force of utter nonsense. We talk about rules, mechanics, and policy that are hard to keep straight or cause problems with judges or events. And no, banding does not make the list. Get out of here. Banding is easy.…

JudgeCast #338 – The Festivus Airing of Grievances (And other more positive things) 1:11:05

hace 13 weeks1:11:05

1:11:05

Happy Festivus listeners! Bryan, Charles, and Marcos are feeling festive, and you all know what that means. Time for an airing of grievances! Modeled after the incredibly relevant and timely episode of Seinfeld from 1997, we share how we find tinsel too distracting, how you’ve all disappointed us in the last year, and finish off with the feats of strength, where we wrestle an actual bear cub before the festivities can properly begin. Or you know, we share our accomplishments over the last year in our feats of strength, share things that we have genuine grievances over, and round things off with a Festivus Miracle because we like positive endings, even when we make the theme of an episode “airing grievances.” Happy Holidays and looking forward to even more JudgeCast shenanigans in 2025!!

Warning: This episode is light on technical rules/policy content. In the spirit of the US Thanksgiving holiday, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos look back over the last year and reflect on what we are thankful for within the Judging and larger M:TG community. It’s a bit sappy, but each host brings several items we are thankful for, and some of us didn’t even need to stretch or say the same thing twice only with different words.

Here at JudgeCast we have multiple traditions. One of those traditions is having a part 2 after a part 1. This here is part 2 of our two part episode on types. Join Bryan, Charles, and not Marcos as we talk about all your favorite card types, as long as they start with a letter between L and Z. And then all your favorite super types.

JudgeCast #332 – Commander Bans and Duskmourn Policy Updates 1:13:25

1:13:25

Uh…what happened this week? Bryan, Charles, and Marcus talk about the recent commander bans and the community response that became so reprehensible it culminated in the RC ceding ownership of the format to Wizards in order to protect themselves. Oh, and there were some policy updates to Missed Trigger and such. That’s what you are really here for. You can get that commander chatter on countless youtube videos, but you can only get a thoughtful discussion regarding the MTR shortcut and how it applies to Cavern of Souls but not Arena of Glory right here!

On this episode, follow Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as they run, Scooby Doo style through multiple Rooms in the House of Horror release notes! The Eerie vibes of the house, combined with their ability to Manifest Dread makes us all question our hero’s chances of Survival, especially when you factor in the Impending doom that awaits them behind every locked door. Also, there’s a very weird math problem, plus a question about infinite copying of abilities around a VERY creepy ventriloquist dummy. Sort of brings me back to those Goosebumps days… Link to the Reddit Post about unprovable math equations: https://www.reddit.com/r/BadMtgCombos/comments/1feps3y/deal_infinite_damage_for_4gru_as_long_as_the_twin/ Video that inspired the Marvin talk: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ATTw4G1gKys…
