Answer

Ruling: The formal requirement for L1 is passing a 12-question untimed open-book test with internet access, which represents a low bar. A good L1 should understand the Comprehensive Rules completely and know common edge case interactions and when to check for errata, but this level of proficiency cannot be expected.

Nuances:

  • The L1 certification is comparable to Magic's Rules Advisor level
  • The judge program is very new with limited resources, so expectations should become clearer as people level up beyond L1
