JudgeCast – 375 Team Trios with John Brian McCarthy

So what is, [laughs] what is team trios just at a really high level? What is team trios, uh, and how is it different from just a normal, uh, event that you go to?

Yeah.

So a normal event, then you go and you go someplace Magic, and you have your wins and losses, and then at the end of the night, you go have dinner with your friends and talk about your bad beat stories.

Uh, with trios it's almost the same thing, except your friends are there experiencing those bad beats right alongside you.

Uh-

[laughs]

... team trios is one of my favorite ways to play Magic, one of my favorite ways to judge Magic, uh, because you're doing it with your friends.

And, uh, as we always say, that there is no Magic without the gathering.

So, uh, how frequently are team trios events?

Not enough.

Uh-

No?

...

so I, uh, there, there, there is a trios event usually at every Magic Con, there's a chance to play in trios.

Uh, this is the first trios limited spotlight, uh, or any sort of trio spotlight.

Uh, the second one happened last weekend in Brussels.

Uh-

Cool

... and I understand they had about 600 teams there.

Big, huge success.

I was very excited to hear about their, their event.

Uh-

600 teams?

600 teams.

Yeah.
