All of the cards are [[foil]], and for some cards it's the first available printing in foil. For many cards, the Judge Gift printing was the first time they were printed using the then-current ([[Eighth Edition]] onward) [[card frame]], or original card frame for select cards that were printed originally with the new card frame.

Since 2000, the [[DCI]] symbol {{keyrune|parl}} was used as [[expansion symbol]] for these cards. Each card also has a [[watermark]] in its foil. First a shooting star {{keyrune|pmei}} was used, but starting in [[2004]] this also became the DCI symbol. In [[2011]] both reverted to the shooting star.

As with most printings, cards are printed with the current [[Oracle]] rules wording at the time of the printing. <c>Vindicate</c>'s 2013 printing marked the first time the same Judge Gift card was printed again, albeit with different [[art]]work. <c>Wasteland</c> was repeated in the 2015 printing, and <c>Vampiric Tutor</c> was repeated in the 2018 printing.

Starting in 2020, both the watermark and expansion symbol were replaced with Archie the Owl, the <c>Judge's Familiar</c> {{keyrune|J20}}. For cards that were printed using the [[Retro frame]], the Archie watermark is replaced with the [[Foil card#Pre-Modern foil|holographic shooting star]].

The Judge Gift cards, also known as Judge Promos, are handed out or mailed to the official judges for judging at Magic: The Gathering tournaments and events. From 2022 they stopped being mailed out to eligible judges and became available only for participants, presenters and organizers of Judge conferences (digital or physical meetings with an educational focus of the Judge Academy).[1]

Description

All of the cards are foil, and for some cards, it's the first available printing in foil. For many cards, the Judge Gift printing was the first time they were printed using the then-current (Eighth Edition onward) card frame or original card frame for select cards that were printed originally with the new card frame.

Since 2000, the DCI symbol was used as expansion symbol for these cards. Each card also has a watermark in its foil. A shooting star was first used, but starting in 2004 this also became the DCI symbol. In 2011 both reverted to the shooting star.

As with most printings, cards are printed with the current Oracle rules wording at the time of the printing. Vindicate's 2013 printing marked the first time a card had a second printing as a Judge Gift, albeit with different art. Wasteland was repeated in the 2015 printing, and Vampiric Tutor was repeated in the 2018 printing.

Starting in 2020, both the watermark and expansion symbol were replaced with Archie the Owl, the Judge's Familiar . For cards that were printed using the Retro frame, the Archie watermark is replaced with the holographic shooting star.

Starting with Armageddon in 2004 and ending with the basic lands from 2014, all Judge Gift cards were printed with the Eighth Edition to Conspiracy card frame, unless otherwise noted. Starting with the 2015 promos, all cards were printed using the newest card frame (Magic 2015 onward), unless otherwise noted.
