Judge Tokens (Magic Judges Feedback Form)

Look at these sweet custom art "Warrior" and "Zombie" Magic Judge tokens for Amonkhet illustrated by our by Zie Aun (@eloneth). Support his works if you like the art!

So, why do we start having these sweet custom tokens? These tokens serve well for our limited and constructed events "Purrrrrfect".

The main idea of these tokens is actually to advertise the Magic Judge Feedback Form.We thank the Judge Token project members (Milan Majerčík, Todd Rix & Zie Aun Tan)

What is the Feedback Form about, and why do we have that?
Magic Judges are members of Judge Programme within the Magic community, who are perhaps best known as neutral arbiters and enforcers of policy and rules. They are also passionate about the game. That is why they have become a Judge to give back to the community by ensuring events that are fair and welcoming to players. They also educate players of the policy and rules and try their best to promote great play experiences for the community.

Being human also means that they can make both good judgments and not so good judgements. Through mistakes, Judges learn. Through hard work, Judges are also appreciated by other members of the community, such as Players, Tournament Organisers, and also other Judges.

All these are made possible because there is feedback from another party. Of course, a face to face feedback session is preferred as it would allow both parties to discuss their point of views, and get a better understanding of where the other party is coming from. However, there are also times whereby a face to face feedback session cannot be done, due to constraint of time, heightened emotions, unfamiliarity or other factors.

Thus, the feedback form can also act as a tool for the community members to be in a comfortable setting and reach out to communicate, provide constructive feedback to the parties involved and the Magic Judge community.

The idea of judge tokens is then born. Tokens, which are also commonly used by players in gameplay, serve as a aid for the game state. Likewise, these Judge tokens also serve as a aid to remind players to constantly provide feedback for learning and also to show appreciation (be it good or bad) to these Judges (especially important in our SEA culture).

On the flip side of the tokens, it contains information of the Magic Judge Feedback Form!

If you would like to get some copies of these tokens, do drop us an email to request for them.
These tokens will also be distributed at various events.

Lastly, remember that effective and constructive feedback are critical components to a successful community!
