JudgeCast – MTGCast

Your favorite three-man group since the Blue Man Group is back!  There has been much discussion lately about women in Magic, and this show Bryan, Jess, and CJ invite L3 Ingrid Lind-Jahn on to give a JudgeCast twist to the discussion: Women in Judging. Also, we do our usual monkeying around, chat about the Hayne/Finkel Pro Tour ruling, Judge pedometers, and more!  As always, we answer mails from you, our loyal listeners, and we got a lot this time!  Of course, if you ever have a question for us always feel free to send us a mail at judgecast@gmail.com.

JudgeCast welcomes a third host to the mix!  You'll never guess who it is (Hint: His name rhymes with Lion Frillapan).  We talk about our prerelease experiences and other news. Do you know the difference between free, derived, and private information?  Do you know what to do when a player doesn't know?  We talk about player communication and the penalties who love them, including possibly the most misgiven penalty in the Infraction Procedure Guide: Player Communication Violation. As always, we read mail from YOU, our loyal listeners, and announce a brand new contest!  Want to win a shiny judge foil Vendilion Clique?  Listen to find out how!

Bryan Prillaman joins Jess and CJ again for another action-packed episode of JudgeCast.  (If you listen real close you can hear a high speed chase in the background, followed by an explosion.  ACTION)  We go over the new abilities coming in Avacyn Restored and muse on what might be in the Helvault. When Bryan isn't actually cleaning up his dog's puke he talks about his recent experience with lapsing abilities, and we go over a few examples to really hammer it home. Finally, we talk about a bunch of resources you (yes YOU) can use to improve as a judge, and announce the winner of our very first contest!  Got a resource we missed?  Send us a mail at judgecast@gmail.com! As always, we also read listener e-mails and babble.   Links from the show Ask Wizards with Comprehensive Rules for Soulbond and Miracle: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/activity/947 IRC Link: http://wbe002.mibbit.com/?server=irc.umich.edu&channel=%23mtgjudge%2C%23mtgrules Regional Coordinators: http://wiki.internationalmagicjudges.net/index.php/Regional_Coordinators Cranial Insertion: http://www.cranialinsertion.com/ Cranial Insertion's article on layers: http://www.cranialinsertion.com/article/6 Articles by Justin Turner: http://www.gatheringmagic.com/author/justinturner/ Articles by Riccardo Tessitori: http://www.blackborder.com/q/user/2393 Judge Wiki: wiki.internationalmagicjudges.com Phone Applications: http://wiki.internationalmagicjudges.net/index.php/Handhelds Judge Center: judge.wizards.com DCI Family: dcifamily.org Judge Study Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/175624355828083/ Judge Classes: http://wiki.internationalmagicjudges.net/index.php/Judge_Classes   Your Host(s): Jess Dunks, and CJ Shrader Show’s Email: judgecast@gmail.com

In this short interview, Sean interviews his wife Lindsay about her perspective on Magic, judges, and how the game can be more accessible to women. Some of the interview questions were blatantly stolen from the guys over at RedSiteWins in their interviews with their significant others (http://redsitewins.com/2011/08/09/2286/). We'll look for more opportunities to bring in women who judge Magic as future guests, so stay tuned. Enjoy! Send your questions, feedback, and hate mail to judgecast@gmail.com.
