We have very special guest L4 Jeff Morrow on to talk about the life of an L4, and take an in-depth look at the L3 advancement process. As the man in charge of the L3 interview process, no one knows more about it than Jeff.

Every time we have an L4+ on the show it’s always a great one, so don’t miss this one!

In this episode, we have special guest Jason Flatford on and we cover the M14 FAQ and every detail you may need to know for your prerelease and beyond!

We also spend too much time discussing the exact size of Colossal Whale in comparison to other creatures, and we answer every question about Strionic Resonator that has been sent to us so far. Don’t you all know there are other cards in M14?

On this lighter episode, the JudgeCast bros discuss their experiences at GP Vegas and Miami, including rulings, interesting stories, and weird appeals.

Of course we also read e-mails from listeners just like you! (A little note…we can’t answer every M14 question yet until the FAQ comes out, though it should be out soon so feel free to keep sending them).

We have special guest L3 Justin Turner on again, this time to discuss the (what feels like a million) abilities and mechanics in Modern Masters. Just in time for GP: Las Vegas!

We of course also read our listener e-mails, including a special e-mail finally solving our “12th gate” problem that we thought was unsolvable.

Tuktuktutktuktuktuk

On this episode, we cover all of the upcoming changes for M14! This includes how favorably the new legend rule works with Tuk Tuk the Explorer (Among other cards).

We also get caught up on our e-mails, which range from easy answers to incredibly complex phasing questions. Judging is fun!

On this episode, the Billy Judges Gruff cover the top decks from GP Portland and any interesting rules interactions that can occur with those top decks.

Note: This episode was recorded before the announcement of the M14 rules changes, but we do look a little bit like psychics during portions of the episode.

In this JudgeCast SPECIAL (Meaning it’s a bonus episode), we cover the FAQ for Dragon’s Maze. We also go in-depth on split cards as they can be a bit of a tricky widget.

Jess couldn’t make this episode so we have very special guest L2 Adam Hubble on to bring some much-needed British/Mississippi class to the show. Maybe now we can finally win a Grammy.
