No need to be the judge of this episode because we brought our own, thanks! Coming to us from Greeneville, Tennessee, Derrik "Smitty" Smith is a Level 2 Judge for Magic the Gathering and a multi-format menace (though a friendly one). We discuss Ixalan mechanics both new and old, while trying to brace ourselves for the pirate invasion of Dinotopia. And also vampires. 

Join us as Smitty shares on his experience with the Judge Program, hints at which new merfolk might make a splash in Modern, and explains why the FTV: Dryad Arbor is the only time you should ever play "lands in front" (JK, Depiazza).

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
