The Judge Academy has revealed two more Magic: The Gathering promotional cards for 2020 in addition to the four new ones revealed last week. The two cards are "Sylvan Tutor" and "Academy Rector" and both promos feature new art (Iris Compiet illustrated "Sylvan Tutor", and "Jason Rainville" did the "Academy Rector"), and just like the other 2020 promos, these two cards feature the new owl expansion symbol.
However, unlike the other 2020 Judge Academy promos, these two cards will not be part of the organization's member mailings, but will be 2 out of the 4 promos that make up their Conference Pack. The other two promos in each Conference Pack will include promos from the previous waves.
The Judge Academy notes that they will be sending out additional Conference Packs to certified Judge Academy attendees and organizers. Here are the details they mentioned:
> At a Mini-Conference, all Judge Academy certified attendees will get 1 Conference Pack, Presenters (not including the organizer) will receive 1 additional pack, the Store hosting the mini-conference will receive a pack as a thank you for helping to encourage the pooling of knowledge and support of judges in their area, and the organizer will receive 2 additional packs.
> For a large Regional Conference, all Judge Academy certified attendees will get 1 Conference Pack, Presenters (not including the organizer) will receive 2 additional packs, and the Primary Organizer will receive 3 additional packs. If a TO/Venue is hosting the conference, they will also receive 2 packs.
The 2020 judge promos are great rewards for those who will be part of Judge Academy's program but fans still have a lot of questions about their organization, dues for MTG judges, and why it's non-profit. It looks like the Judge Academy has a solid plan to organize the new program despite being criticized for setting high fees for members. The Judge Academy previously explained the high cost to join the program.
