JudgeCast #3 – Pre-Grand Prix Preparations

Riki and Sean are back with more of your rules and player interaction questions, from listeners spanning the globe (and try to pump up the volume a bit)! They also cover Riki’s dominating performance at a Grand Prix Trial for Grand Prix Oakland, and talk about expectations for Grand Prix Oakland. Look for the JudgeCast crew at the Grand Prix (and Pro Tour San Diego!), where you can record your question for a future episode!

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.

Let me know if you have any questions!
