What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for
you?
The mental challenge and the game of optimizing resources.
Early Challenge
Jared got too fixated on an idea and tried to build decks around
mechanics or specific cards, even if it wasn't good.
Most Negative Moment
Having to Disqualify someone for offering to roll a die for the
win when the player had NO idea that was illegal. The rules are
very clear and have to be enforced and it was hard to DQ this
player.
Proudest Magic Moment
Seeing many friends advance in the judge
community, specifically Jason Reedy when he was
recognized for being on his way to becoming a Level 3 judge after
running side events like a boss.
Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself
Knowing that he has a reputation for arrogance, Jared recognizes
that some people like him as a leader and others don't. He's
learned how to be a leader to those assigned to follow him, as
supposed to those who choose to follow him.
Improvement Suggestions
Making Magic: The Gathering accessible to all kinds of people is
a huge focus and Jared puts out a call to the whole community to
make it an equally enjoyable experience for all ages, races,
genders and sexual orientations. It's up to all of us.
