- Name:<\/strong> Allyson Cole<\/li>\n
- Level:<\/strong> Level 1<\/li>\n
- Location:<\/strong> Cedar City, Utah<\/li>\n
- Region:<\/strong> USA – Northwest <\/li>\n
- Approximate date\/month\/year you started playing Magic:<\/strong> July 2012<\/li>\n
- L1 Certification Date:<\/strong> June 18, 2017<\/li>\n
- Favorite thing (e.g., card, deck, group of people) about Magic:<\/strong> How so many different interaction can happen between cards and the ideas players come up with using these interactions. <\/li>\n
- Occupation:<\/strong> Retail Minion<\/li>\n
- Random fact about yourself:<\/strong> I’ve been playing video games since I was 1 and haven’t stopped since. <\/li>\n
- Why did you become a judge?:<\/strong> My community is quite small and we only have one L1. I wanted to become a judge to help the players around here learn a bit more about the game. For a while, I was putting it off since I didn’t think I knew enough to become one. Then I had to do a community service project in order to graduate and was able to use becoming a judge as my project. <\/li>\n
- What excites you most about this event?:<\/strong> Being able to be apart of the judging community and get involved with it. <\/li>\n
- What worries you most about this event?:<\/strong> I have zero experience with judging anything competitive, having only played in maybe 10-ish competitive events. <\/li>\n
- What are you hoping to learn at this event?:<\/strong> More about competitive rules and regulations. <\/li>\n
- What challenges have you faced or are you facing to become a better judge?:<\/strong> I tend to freeze or second guess myself when asked a question. I know the answer, but the second that someone asks me the question, I start to wonder if I’m correct and have to ask our other L1 or one of the L0 just to make sure. In a split second decision, I sometimes will give the wrong answer, then when I hear it out loud, realise my mistake and then correct myself. <\/li>\n
- How have you worked to overcome those challenges?:<\/strong> I’ve worked on trusting myself and told the L1 and L0 that unless they hear me say something wrong, don’t correct me and to not tell me if I ask them for help (to a certain extent). So far, this has helped me immensely. I’ve also been reading the questions on Booth.MagicJudges.org to help myself notice the common interactions. <\/li>\n
- What is the best part about your local Magic community?:<\/strong> Our community is quite small (our FNMs don’t fire half the time) but we are all very close. The town I live in is a college town so we gain and lose players all the time. Even so, the people here feel like a family and we are quite good friends, even playing outside of our LGS just to be able to get more Magic in during the week. <\/li>\n
- What is your favorite Magic memory?:<\/strong> The day I figured out I could kill Emrakul with my army of squirrels. I somehow managed to give them flying, don’t remember how though… <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Why did you become a judge?:<\/strong> I love to help and teach people and as a judge it provides me the opportunity to do so.<\/li>\n
- Who are your mentors?:<\/strong> Joseph Sapp<\/a>
<\/span><\/span> was\/is my judge mentor. He is one of the most genuine and caring human beings that I have ever met.<\/li>\n
- What challenges have you faced or are you facing to become a better judge?:<\/strong> I have the tendency to be overly critical of myself when I make a mistake. So if I made a wrong call when i was learning or did something wrong during the event, I tend to beat myself up over it and it might affect future calls.<\/li>\n
- How have you worked to overcome those challenges?:<\/strong> Joe Sapp has been a great encouragement to helping me quickly let go. “You made a mistake, you owned up to it, move on” and helping me feel more confident about judging an event or interacting with other players.<\/li>\n
- What is your favorite Magic memory?:<\/strong> Pulling my first mythic from a pack, it was Wurmcoil Engine from Scars of Mirrodin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
