This week\u2019s Judge of the Week is level 1 Victor Antonio Padilla Prado from Lima, Peru. Victor started playing in 2001 with the release of Planeshift and started judging seriously since 2009. I suppose that means he judged casually before 2009. Victor always wanted to learn the rules deeply but got into judging through a wish to help the Magic<\/strong> community by organizing tournaments, and then one thing lead to the other. Here is what Victor said about his most memorable judging experience:<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo of the most memorable experiences in judging happened to me the same day during 2009 Nats. I got there to take the L1 exam and I didn’t expect at all that I was going to HJ all the side events (They are not that big like in US but nevertheless I had never judged such big events). That was one thing, the other one was failing the written test that day, which really helped me to be the judge I am today, after I failed I had a very good conversation with Alejandro Raggio and that changed the way I saw judging\u201d.<\/p>\n

Favourite Magic<\/strong> format? Planechase<\/p>\n

Favourite Magic<\/strong> storyline character \/ Favourite Magic<\/strong> card? Kamahl, Pit Fighter<\/a> of course, the character has a deep strong background.<\/p>\n

What do you do outside of judging? Indoors I play a lot of casual magic and a lot of board games. Outdoor I like to go hiking and taking photos. Also I go to law school<\/p>\n

Favourite Board \/ video game? The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/p>\n

Name one Planeswalker that you would want to have while stranded on a desert island. Jeska, Warrior Adept<\/a> – thrice sliced by infinity<\/p>\n

If you could play any one game with any one real person – living or dead – what and who would it be? I would like to play Pong with the creator of the game.<\/p>\n

Reader Challenge – Two Truths and a Lie<\/strong>
