He\u2019s been a Magic Judge for almost eight years now! Eight years? Means he started judging around Lorwyn block, heard a lot of people quit the game around that time because Faeries was actually that oppressive. Well, it\u2019s great he \u201cchampioned\u201d through that! \u00a0Another pretty rad thing about him is that we\u2019re here right now, partially, because of him! He actually had a hand in the development of our Exemplar Reviews! On top of that he\u2019s worked on the revision of Unsporting Conduct. Sean\u2019s done a lot for our program, and sounds like a real busy guy, being L3 and all&#8211;regardless he still took time out of his day to write a pretty awesome review to <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/TAoChris\/\"><strong>Christian Aguilar<\/strong>!<\/a>: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"wp-caption alignright judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/2101745749\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=2101745749&size=200 alt=\"Christian Aguilar\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christian Aguilar<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Christian, you have been a light of positive energy and unabashed welcoming vibes every time our paths have crossed at an event. It doesn&#8217;t matter that it&#8217;s the end of a long and laborious weekend. It doesn&#8217;t matter that the room is noisy and everyone is hungry. You make it nigh impossible for the judges around you to bring you down, and you bring them up with you. I wish more had your seemingly endless positivity on the floor. Thank you.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Short, sweet, and spectacular! I personally adore how energetic some judges can be, it\u2019s a real testament to how seriously they take the game and their job. Hopefully you enjoyed this review as much as I did! Remember, if <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0you want to be featured on one of these articles all you gotta do is be the best in the world at what you do, and what you do is being you. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/6103790232\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=6103790232&size=200 alt=\"Written by: Fortunato Acosta\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Written by: Fortunato Acosta<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, everyone!
