Here’s a look at the final product of the 2012 official Magic Judge playmats:
I’d like to thank everyone involved who helped us get this into the hands of our Level 2+ judges. Carlos Ho helped coordinate the promotion with myself, Andy Heckt, and Eric Sorenson.
On the design side, Kenny Koornneef (Netherlands) submitted the original design that you voted for, and Steffen Baumgart (Germany) came up with the final tweaks and helped us prepare the image for printing (Fun Fact: Steffen also played a big role in making these cool judge pictures pop up both here and inside JudgeApps).
Most importantly, I’d like to thank all of our Level 2+ judges who have helped make Magic be so much more than just a game. You’ve shown not just dedication to the program and its members, but also your commitment to running great events and building amazing communities. Magic continues to thrive because of everything you do, and it is our absolute pleasure to help get these playmats into your hands, and hopefully with you into the stores where you play and judge.
