November MCC
Judge signup thread
As we didn't have one yet, November is the Guilds of Ravnica month in the MCC. We will explore the set and the plane from different angles throughout the month. It looks like I have become the set-themed months default host by now... and I kind of like that. But I cannot do everything by myself. Whether you're a fellow Boros soldier or a cold Azorius bureaucrat, you know that law needs to be enforced. And for that, I need your help.
If you want to sign up as a judge for the November MCC, just reply to this thread. If you've already judged before, that's enough. If you've never judged before, there is a little extra step required: please try to judge the sample card you can find below with the MCC rubric and post your sample judgment here. I will reply to you as soon as possible with my own thoughts about it and if you did good enough of a job, I will officially welcome you as an MCC judge. (Don't worry, I don't remember ever having to turn down anyone, and by the way I've also helped a number of judges on their first experience.)
As always, since I am hosting, I am also going to be a judge. We need at the very least two more, maybe three if player participation is high enough. Will you be one?
Assume all challenges (main and both subs) are met.
Duskmantle SpyUB
Creature — Human Rogue (U)
You can look at the top card of your library at any time.
If Duskmantle Spy deals combat damage to a player, put the top card of target player’s library into his or her graveyard. A Dimir spy can look into your mind as easily as into your eyes. You wouldn’t notice anyway.
1/3
Design - (X/3) Appeal: Do the different player psychographics (Timmy/Johhny/Spike) have a use for the card? (X/3) Elegance: Is the card easily understandable at a glance? Do all the flavor and mechanics combined as a whole make sense?
Development - (X/3) Viability: How well does the card fit into the color wheel? Does it break or bend the rules of the game? Is it the appropriate rarity? (X/3) Balance: Does the card have a power level appropriate for contemporary constructed/limited environments without breaking them? Does it play well in casual and multiplayer formats? Does it create or fit into a deck/archetype? Does it create an oppressive environment?
Creativity - (X/3) Uniqueness: Has a card like this ever been printed before? Does it use new mechanics, ideas, or design space? Does it combine old ideas in a new way? Overall, does it feel “fresh”? (X/3) Flavor: Does the name seem realistic for a card? Does the flavor text sound professional? Do all the flavor elements synch together to please Vorthos players?
Polish - (X/3) Quality: Points deducted for incorrect spelling, grammar, and templating. (X/2) *Main Challenge: Was the main challenge satisfied? Was it approached in a unique or interesting way? Does the card fit the intent of the challenge? (X/2) Subchallenges: One point awarded per satisfied subchallenge condition.
Total: X/25
*An entry with 0 points here is subject to disqualification.
Judge signups will stay open until the design deadline for Round 1 or until we get enough judges, whichever comes first. If needed, the judge signups will be going on in parallel with Round 1. Round 1 will be posted on November 1st, or maybe the day before as a Halloween surprise. We'll see.

(1.5/3) Appeal: Johnny and Spike moderately like possibilities from knowing and having some control on the top card of your library, though Spike notices hard condition for a minor gain. Tammy audibly yawns.
(2/3) Elegance: In multiplayer, you can hit Adam to mill Eve or yourself, which is strange. Also, there is a lack of symmetry (you can mill any card, but you know only one of them).

Antiantiserum is in. I have no time now so I'll take a look at Superbajt's sample judgment tomorrow. I'll try to let void_nothing play this month. Putting them in as a reserve judge anyway just in case. If more people want to sign up they are welcome.

Well, it appears it kinda is. You did an excellent job and catched all the mistakes I hid in the card, at least all intentional ones. You just used a different approach in Quality than I do: you just said how the text should be while I usually point out each mistake individually, which would probably result in a bigger point deduction than you did, but I feel like your approach is good too. You also didn't fall for the (totally intentional) trap of "at any time" vs "any time", which makes me understand you're up to date with the latest wording. That's the only thing I can say about your sample judgment, all the rest is just perfect and I have absolutely nothing to say about it. I'm very glad to officially welcome you as an MCC judge. If this is the premise, I'm sure you will do an excellent job this month.
With that, we have three judges (myself, Antiantiserum, and Superbajt) and one reserve (void_nothing). I say we're good for now, unless we have a bigger number of players than I expect. I would obviously be glad if that's the case. Man, I still remember the MCCs where even four judges risked to not be enough... well, time to post round 1! Signups stay open for now just in case.

With 17 entries and about one day left before the deadline, I feel comfortable enough to say that I expect three judges will suffice.
@ void_nothing: feel free to submit a card as a player if you want to play this month, I don't expect to need you as a judge.
