On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Bryan, Charles, and Marcos respect the oxford comma. We also discuss the new mechanics for Wilds of Eldraine. Want to know how Adventure cards work? We can help. Want to know what happens if you triple a triple, we have the answers. Want to know what all the seven different role enchantments do? You are on your own. But we do talk about the generic rules behind them.

The Ghost train is pulling out of the station. Join Bryan, Charles, Marcos (and Biggs and Wedge in spirit) as they give you the Pheonix Down low on the newest magitek in the latest MTG set, Final Fantasy. We summon up the changes to the saga rules and the new Tiered mechanic.

In this episode, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos are joined by Pastimes’ Meg Baum to talk about the “other side of staffing”. We have talked in the past about how to apply for events as well as tips and tricks to help you get staffed, but this is the first time we have talked about what it takes to make an event staff. And while we have done staffing for “ballroom sized events”, we have never had to staff with as many applications or roles to fill as a MagicCon. Meg pulls back the curtain and lets us know many of the considerations that need to be made when constructing a staff of hundreds.…

JudgeCast #347 – How to make a Judge Conference Presentation 1:40:59

1:40:59

MTG Judge Conferences are an amazing resource when it comes to learning and growing as a Judge. However, conferences need presenters and creating a presentation can be daunting if you have never done it before. Topics can range from layers or state-based actions, to more complex topics like Hidden Card error or competing replacement enter effects, or all the way up to investigation workshops. But the journey of a thousand presentations begins with a single google doc. Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we talk about how to figure out what you want to present on, how to start a draft and plan for your audience, and finally tips and tricks to present effectively.…

In this episode of JudgeCast, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos talk about upgrades. Those little paragraphs or sentences at the bottom of your favorite entries in the Magic Infraction Procedure Guide. Upgrades are when a certain series of events happen, and the penalty an MTG Judge would normally assign gets bumped up one or two steps. In this episode we talk about all the upgrades, even the FOUR hidden in the JAR. If you are looking to run RCQs or staff larger MTG events, this is one to check out.…

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as they spend entirely too much time and go into entirely too much detail on all the things you need to consider when taking a call as a Judge. Quick, what are the first three things you should do when you hear “Judge!”. Did you know there are things were supposed to be doing even before that?

Are you expecting a racing pun here? Too bad, because our special guest, Perry Kraker used them all in the episode.

Hello and Welcome to JudgeCast. Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we take a somewhat tongue-in-cheek take on the Top 10 worst rules/mechanics in Magic. We pull from the IPG, MTR, and Comprehensive Rules on this tour-de-force of utter nonsense. We talk about rules, mechanics, and policy that are hard to keep straight or cause problems with judges or events. And no, banding does not make the list. Get out of here. Banding is easy.…

JudgeCast #338 – The Festivus Airing of Grievances (And other more positive things) 1:11:05

1:11:05

Happy Festivus listeners! Bryan, Charles, and Marcos are feeling festive, and you all know what that means. Time for an airing of grievances! Modeled after the incredibly relevant and timely episode of Seinfeld from 1997, we share how we find tinsel too distracting, how you’ve all disappointed us in the last year, and finish off with the feats of strength, where we wrestle an actual bear cub before the festivities can properly begin. Or you know, we share our accomplishments over the last year in our feats of strength, share things that we have genuine grievances over, and round things off with a Festivus Miracle because we like positive endings, even when we make the theme of an episode “airing grievances.” Happy Holidays and looking forward to even more JudgeCast shenanigans in 2025!!

Warning: This episode is light on technical rules/policy content. In the spirit of the US Thanksgiving holiday, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos look back over the last year and reflect on what we are thankful for within the Judging and larger M:TG community. It’s a bit sappy, but each host brings several items we are thankful for, and some of us didn’t even need to stretch or say the same thing twice only with different words.
