Sometimes being on your own lets you grow, but sometimes the best way to learn is with a more experienced judge on a large-scale event. <\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the best part about your local Magic community?:<\/strong> here are nice people, we have very experienced players alongside newer ones, who interact very nicely with each other. So there is no rules-sharking. also we have a big constructed community with various formats and drafting is also quite popular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is your favorite Magic memory?:<\/strong> Not the first time i made Top 8 at a PPTQ, and also not when i made Day 2 for the first time at a GP. This is truly a bitter-sweet one. When i had an epileptic shock during a FNM Draft event in my LGS i got taken to a hospital and a close friend of mine dropped short afterwards to bring me my Stuff i left at that Store and to cheer me up and to play with me. I found many good friends in this great game, who support me even in the real world. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Patrick Hoscheit<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/1195185\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=1195185&size=200 alt=\"\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> Patrick Hoscheit<\/li>\n<li><strong>Level:<\/strong> Level 1<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Paris, France<\/li>\n<li><strong>Region:<\/strong> France<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Clint Lee<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/5102784637\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=5102784637&size=200 alt=\"\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> Clint Lee<\/li>\n<li><strong>Level:<\/strong> Level 2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Port Elizabeth, South Africa<\/li>\n<li><strong>Region:<\/strong> United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Martina Eva Tonkovi\u0107<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/3213560868\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=3213560868&size=200 alt=\"\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> Martina Eva Tonkovi\u0107<\/li>\n<li><strong>Level:<\/strong> Level 1<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Zagreb, Croatia<\/li>\n<li><strong>Region:<\/strong> Europe &#8211; East <\/li>\n<li><strong>Approximate date\/month\/year you started playing Magic:<\/strong> October 2015<\/li>\n<li><strong>L1 Certification Date:<\/strong> 8\/18\/2016<\/li>\n<li><strong>Favorite thing (e.g., card, deck, group of people) about Magic:<\/strong> Affinity!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Occupation:<\/strong> Mechanical engineering student<\/li>\n<li><strong>Random fact about yourself:<\/strong> Big Dylan Dog fan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why did you become a judge?:<\/strong> I wanted to help the community and travel around more.
