    JudgeCast #373 – CEDH

    Join Charles and Marcos as they drag Bryan, kicking and screaming, into a discussion around one of the newer tournament types: CEDH. Love it or hate it, players are willing to pay TOs to be asked 'Did you pay the 1?" for seven hours. As a result, it's a topic that judges should be somewhat aware of before their LGS TO says "I'm having a CEDH tournament in two weeks, are you available?"In this episode we talk about the different meanings of "CEDH", the round structure, podding, penalties, how to deal with overly talkative players, and what special software or tools you might need to keep your event running smoothly. While we do predominately discuss CEDH within the convention setting, we also talk about CEDH at the local level.

    JudgeCast #371 - Missed Triggers (2026)

    Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we take an incredibly deep dive into the concept of Missed Triggers. Triggers are common and often invisible. In this episode we discuss how to recognize when a trigger is missed, what an opponents obligations are when a trigger is missed, and what to do when you are called to a table for that missed trigger. We briefly touch on triggers at regular REL before spending the bulk of our time talking about Competitive REL.

    JudgeCast #370 – April 2026 Rules Updates

    Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we talk about the April Rules update. A good chunk of it was housekeeping and clarifications, but we got a subtle rules change to Sagas that can have a big impact on modern and commander. Additionally we found something subtle with paradigm, and finally got to look at the nuts and bolts of how prepare works.SOS Update Bulletin: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/secrets-of-strixhaven-update-bulletinAmbitious Augmenter Bluesky Post: https://bsky.app/profile/wotcmatt.bsky.social/post/3mj5v5edcbs2oSocial Media LinksJoin JudgeCast on our Discord server!   https://discord.com/invite/hQd48guKFRJudgeCast: BlueSky – @Judgecast.bsky.social / Twitter: @JudgeCastBryan: BlueSky – @Bprill.bluesky.socialCharles: BlueSky – @MTGDad.bsky.socialMarcos: BlueSky – @MJ6Music.bsky.social / Twitter @MJ6Music Intro & Outro Music: “Seed” by Carbon Leaf.

    JudgeCast #368 – Judging and taxes with Patrick Evans

    There are two things that are certain in the world; Death and Taxes. No. Not the deck. In this episode Bryan, Charles, and Marcos are joined by Former Judge and current Tax Attorney Patrick Evans. Here we talk about the extremely important topic of taxes as it pertains to judging. Whether you work FNM and the occasional RCQ, or are a weekend road warrior, or even visit the US for an event, Uncle Sam wants his cut. You, on the other hand, want to keep as much as you are entitled to. We talk about expenses, deductions, and what expectations are.And while we can give lots of Judging advice; none of this is tax advice. Reach out to tax organizations in your state if you have any specific questions.Check out: https://www.unitedway.org/our-impact/financial-security/my-free-taxesfor information about the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program to assist folks with their taxes for free.

    JudgeCast #367 – Tournament Shortcuts

    A shortcut is a way to get one or more things done quicker, and if you have ever tried to play a technically precise game of Magic, you will know there's a lot of things that can be done quicker.Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we go over the tournament shortcuts found in the Magic Tournament Rules. These shortcuts are the default behavior in many situations that may arise in a game of Magic, and are designed to reduce ambiguity and protect players from other players that might want to use that ambiguity to their advantage. We go into detail for each one, even the wibbly-wobbly-timey wimey ones.

    Cowabunga Judges! It's another release notes episode, and Bryan, Charles, and Marcos are here to cover new cards, rules interactions, and perhaps sneak in a pop culture reference or two while they're at it. Keep an eye out for those Mutagen canisters though before they disappear. Um... Alliance. Okay, that should do it. Stay tuned to the end for a special news bulletin from Charles regarding tournament fraud, and try to keep count of exactly how many other IPs we can mention while discussing everyone's favorite turtles.
