JudgeCast #4 – Stories from the Gran Prix Floor!

This time, Riki and Sean have taken the show on the road. Sean sat down with a unique pair of judges at Grand Prix Oakland to get the international perspective of Barry Swan (L2 from Colombia and Head Judge of the Sunday PTQ) and the insight of James Elliot, famed “Road Warrior” and L2 from St. Louis. We also answer some interesting questions from listeners, covering Stalling, Fraud, and tricky rules interactions. I promise, the volume is fixed this time… You can submit your questions to the JudgeCast by e-mailing judgecast@gmail.com.

We’d like to thank Chris Otwell and MTGCast for hosting us and music.mevio.com and Carbon Leaf for the podsafe bumper music.
