JudgeCast #130 – The Ever-Expanding DEC (and friends!)

On this episode, we cover the brand new IPG in all its glory! We take another deep dive into the changes made for DEC, talk about handling scry with mulligans (And a new tournament shortcut built around scry), and a bunch of miscellaneous changes up to and including it now being illegal to bribe a judge!

JudgeCast #125 – As Easy as DEC

Yes I know I used this title on episode 38. YOU COME UP WITH NEARLY 100 TITLES AND KEEP THEM FRESH.

Speaking of fresh, we have a brand new IPG out! This one has some big changes, and we go in-depth on the biggest: Drawing Extra Cards is now a warning! We go in deep on what this means with a few examples.

We also discuss some of the other miscellaneous changes to the IPG and some small changes to the rules (A change to casting spells?! Will we need to learn a new mnemonic?), and read the spiciest of e-mails.

JudgeCast #72 – Elliot Like It Is

The JudgeFellas take some time to get caught up on this episode, and L2 James Elliott comes along to join the party (And lend his special brand of Scottish flair).

We get caught up on e-mails, discuss the minor changes in the IPG and MTR, and for some reason make Doctor Who jokes that CJ just doesn’t get.

JudgeCast #58 – Missed Triggers in Little China

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we’re not back by dawn… call the president.

On this episode we have special guest L3 James Bennett on to discuss the new (super new) IPG! We talk triggers (Everyone loves triggers!), the other policy changes (We should rename a past episode due to some of these changes), and the newest MTR. Also for some reasons we make a lot of references from Big Trouble in Little China!

And of course we read all the e-mails from listeners just like you.
