 Define the words in your EQ to make sure we are on the same page regarding what your EQ means.

Magic the Gathering:Is a collectable card game created by Richard Garfield PH.

Judge: a person, sometimes one of several, appointed to assess entries or performances in a competition and decide who wins

What are some possible answers to your EQ so far?

3 play the game for experience

What has been your most important source and why? Be specific. If it is a person, name them and what they do, if it is an article, book or video, name the title and author.

Anthony Martinez has beenthe most Important source. They were able to go into deatil with me the jest of being a judge. He also told me very interesting facts on the game and we played right after the interview which I thought was awesome and he told me some of his tricks on building a deck.

Second Interview

Intereviewee Anthony Martinez
  1. Who got you into Magic the Gathering
My cousin Michael Hurtado one day came over and brought these cards I never saw before. He had taught me everything I needed to know and from there is when I learned on my own how to be a great Magic Player.

2. What do you think makes a great magic the gathering judge
I feel what makes a good judge is one loving the game. If you dont love the game really dont be a judge. Secondly is knowing the game like a good christian loves the bible. lol and third actually playing!!! I think thats one of the most important thing to do as being a judge.

3. How was it toping at a PTQ
it was amazing I had won second place from over 400 people playing some very unique decks. I won 10,000 dollars and from there on just kept winning. I am ranked about 64th in the world and is actually playing in the San Fransico world tour for Magic the Gathering

4. Did you take any classes at Cal State LA for Magic the Gathering
honestly I didnt but the Math courses that I did take helped me out so much. Magic is all about Math when it comes down to it. and it is key to know okay this player can do this to drop me down so much ect. As I said math is a great Factor in this game.

5. If you were able to list all the decks you played which one would work for you personality
Of course blue and white Blue and White cards are all about control and my personality is just like that I love to have control in whatever I do.

Blog 4 Interview 1 and Persentation

The first Interview effect my Presenations because he had me grasp what Magic the Gathering can bring to people. For example He told me that you really need to have heart for the game.

Just having examples of how the game plays out and having cards to give to the students

Talking infront of people I feel is the hardest thing to do and actually presenting. I feel that is my downfall because Im very bad at explaining myself and just talking in public
