I've just started practicing to become a L1 judge. I've been taking the practice tests and talking to my local game stores about helping out with events. I've also been in contact with L2s in my area.
What is the best advice you can give to someone who has just started the path to being a judge? I'm sure you get this question a lot.
>>
>>51965129
Read. The fucking. Card.
Seriously- every Judge I know has punted rulings for no reason other than "they assumed they knew what the card did, but were slightly off". It's a good habit to get into, no matter how veteran you are, to just pick the card up and read it really quick. It also gives you a few extra seconds to think about the situation without just standing there awkwardly.
Also, never pass up an opportunity to sit down because your feet will hate you if you do.
Finally, you -will- punt calls. You -will- punt a call so badly it will literally cost someone a game, maybe even a Top 8 slot. And I say that because you are human, and the only judges I know that haven't punted hardcore are the ones who haven't punted hardcore -yet-. It'll happen, so don't let it get to you when it does. Learn from your mistake and move on. I used to have a bad problem of letting one mistake turn into 5 because I'd get shook for like a solid half an hour.
>>
>>51965165
Thanks for the advice. For now I've been reading cards closely, but that's because I'm taking the tests. I'll do my best to keep that up in the paper world.
I know what you mean about punting calls. I've done it even just during casual edh nights as the de fecto rules guy by flubbing how Bloodchief Ascension works if the entire board including itself gets blown up. Tilted me for the night.

Anyone with a bit of experience could give me the pros and cons of both decks ?

How would you feel about a fantasy setting whose visual motifs for armor, fashion, and so on were drawn from across the 13th to 16th century? Specifically European, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean/North African period accurate visuals. Nothing from outside of those periods, their engineering and their tech levels is used in the setting’s motifs.
i.e.; no 1st century Romans or 7th century Vikings running around, no 400 BCE Greeks and Persians with empires butting right up next to Hundred Years War France, nor 2000+ BCE Egyptians across the pond who haven’t changed at all despite the span of millennia passing them by. A large time window for visuals but its inspiration still consistent across roughly 2-3 centuries of our history, with some minor fantasy embellishments thrown in because who doesn't love stuff like magic capes and dragonscale armor?

Nurgle's a pretty likeable guy, I'm sure they had a good chat and put their past grievances to rest.

It's fucking terrible characterization.
Horus should have been out on the fringe for like 30 years without the emperor, loyally doing his will, only to return for resupply and realize the Imperium is developing and his role someday as conqueror will be over. That in the end, he's a tool for the Emperor's ambitions of a human empire ruled mostly by weaker men.
Then that gnaws at him. And he decides, with the whisperings of advisors like Erebus, to rebel. Then Erebus offers more weapons to use vs the emperor, like these allies from the warp.
Instead of 'I got poked by an evil knife then went to a coma where I woke up evil.'

Any One Piece (and Naruto, and Bleach, and Fairy Tail, and...) RPG will be a generic, or at the very least, very wide in scope system, because only generic systems can handle the variety of powers and abilities that the game has.
Beyond that, it's up to you what parts of the series you want to put the emphasis on.

>>51951053
I know we had a dragon ball tabletop floating here before so I am sure there is a system designed just FOR that wide scopeness.
I remember a particularly good one but it seems abandoned.
>>
>>51951158
>I know we had a dragon ball tabletop floating here before
Dragonball is extremely specific. There's basically melee fighting, beam fighting, and moving really fast fighting, powering up, and that's it. I can't think of an interesting power from Dragonball that isn't "Bullshit invincibility Goku needs to get through somehow".

All of your miniatures have come to life now. They have all of their powers and their weapons are fully functional....
....but they're still the size of a miniature and their firepower is scaled down. They all want to kill you. Can you win?

Radiation burns, probably poisoning. Collecting Skitarii would hurt.
Of course, only the Transuranic Arquebus would have the range for it. Everything else I probably have covered by just throwing things at them.
>>
I mean, you'd basically be an Emperor-class titan in relative scale, and anything you throw at this - y'know, like a literal pie plate - is basically a D-weapon. Unless they have something like a D-weapon themselves that would actually be as powerful as a real-life gun, you're probably fine.

That is pretty annoying. I vaguely recall hearing that the devs had some personalt shit going on some time ago, but it'd still be nice if the team put some effort into keeping people interested in the game.
