MTG Salvation

Sorry, been unable to judge the last few months. Haven't even had time to play the last two months. Hopefully after December rolls around, I can help out judging again.

There is the sinister fourth challenge! Great challenges this month! If only I didn't tweak my card out of the final round...

Quote from Gwar_The_Trolle

GAH THIS MONTHS BEAR THEME IS MEAN AND EVIL.

I'm enjoying it. I'm interested in seeing what terribleness Megiddo is going to inflict in the final round, whether I make it there or not.

Thank you for the clarification. There are other challenges that involve words not included in rules text. I was just making sure I understood what you were looking for.

Clarification:

This card is against the challenge:

Card Name............................2
Creature - Bear-O-Thopter.......U
Flying
2/2

Is this one?

Card Name..........................2
creature -Bear-o-thopter.......U
2: Target creature gains flying.
2/2

Or this one?

Card Name...................................2
Creature - Bear-o-thopter...............U
2,T: Target creature gains flying.
2/2

The MCC (FCC previously) required cards in English text. I can remember at least 2 different discussions on the fairness of Quality pts for those who don't speak English as a primary language. It was always kept that way because English is universally spoken.

Quote from Megiddo

Q: Are you actually still looking for somebody to organize July's MCC? I'm always looking for ways to self-aggrandize my ego by doing things that make me feel important (like organizing an MCC).

Hah, that's awesome.

Although typically avoided, as long as I'm not in Megiddo's bracket, I wouldn't mind being a temp judge this round.

Quote from Megiddo

I usually laugh when this happens to me, but I actually typed out my entire judgings, then lost them to some poorly thought out keystrokes.

I'm mad. I'll redo them later when I'm less mad.

You normally laugh? Dang, I get pissed off every time, lol.

Congrats Megiddo! Way to represent Pittsburgh

Quote from Summerscythe

Further silly clarifications. I assume that Global effects like Evacuation would not fulfill the challenge this round this round?

Evacuation doesn't target, so unless an organizer makes an exception, it wouldn't satisfy Challenge 2.

Quote from WhisperedThunder

Thanks! It's my last month of grad school so I really shouldn't be :-P Whatever, let's make some cards. I've only be able to make prereleases for two years though, so I'm going to be judging everything against Ravnica cards and making everyone mad. It'll be good times.

Well, if you judge me this month, I'll make sure to put up a huge fuss, just for you

Quote from WhisperedThunder

Because I am a fool. And a knave. And haven't done this in a long while

A WT sighting? Good to still see you around

First of all, fractions are fine. I give out fractions on Polish because there are 3 points to work with. Someone spelling the 'teh' isn't going to lose a full point to me.

There is more than one judge that I cannot recall ever seeing give a score of less than 17 to a card, even when a card was very poorly designed.

Hah, sounds like me. My poorly designed scores are around 13/14. I find little reason to see them go lower. I also very rarely give 25's.

Quote from Gwar_The_Trolle

Clearly he is some sort of Time Traveling Alien, or a Super-intelligent shade of the colour blue.

Hah, that would make him a Hooloovoo... if my memory/spelling are correct. Nice Hitchiker's reference

Great month in terms of difficulty. The final round was certainly a tough one.
