A new set is out, and with that comes new policy documents. We cover the minimal changes in depth, as well as take some time to get caught up on some e-mails (Including a few about Born of the Gods).

Special thanks to L2 Jeff Higgins for hopping on as a cohost while CJ was out deathly ill. So ill.

Updated policy documents can be found at judgecast.com/docs

We have super duper special guest and rules manager for all of Magic Matt Tabak on to discuss his life at Wizards and his opinions on punctuation. Truly, we waste our too-short time with him. But he did sing the Duck Tales theme so we certainly can’t say it was all a waste.

This episode is easily one of our favorites and a great look at the behind-the-scenes of how the rules get made. We can’t wait to have Matt on again.

Our Build-A-Bear contest is still going! To enter, please submit your bear cub to judgecast@gmail.com or here: https://www.facebook.com/JudgeCast/posts/641879652501862

The deadline for this contest is Sunday, November 24th.
