How to become a certified MTG judge
Becoming a certified MTG judge is a fantastic journey into the heart of the MTG community! First, you've gotta have a solid grasp of the game's rules. Start by studying the Comprehensive Rules and participating in judge seminars or study groups if you can find them. Then, pass the Rules Advisor test to show you're serious. After that, it's about gaining experience. Judge at local events, get involved in your local MTG community, and seek mentorship from certified judges. When you're ready, take the Level 1 judge test. Remember, it's not just about knowing the rules; it's about being a leader and ambassador for the game.

Honestly, just play a lot and pay attention. Being a judge is about understanding the spirit of the game, not just the letter of the law.
Got my judge certification last year, and it's all about commitment. Know the game, love the game, and help others enjoy it. Networking with other judges and continuous learning are key. Get ready to dedicate some serious time to this.
