This card means disruption, and that disruption can range from big to really, really big. Giving your opponent a new hand of only four cards means that they will not have much to work with. If they have Claydol out in play, they might get something going, but overall you can ensure that they will at least be slowed down for a turn. Combine Judge with Psychic Lock, Psychic Bind, or Power Spray and you can guarantee that your opponent will be tremendously slowed down. Even though it's a Supporter, this card's disruption potential definitely makes up for being a Supporter. 9/10

On a side note, the card's name is pretty funny to be used in tournament play. When you play it, make sure you don't say the name too loudly!
 
It's awesome to be able to get rid of useful cards your opponent has, sometimes it may even be the reason of your victory
 
one of the best potential game changers IMO whe played at the right time. and a amazing combo to go along with Cosmic Power. enjoy this card very much. almost as annoying as Wager. 10/10

. . . and once again PokeGym goes nuts when a playable card is up for review and you get a whole bunch of 10/10.

haha true :p

Probably the best disruption supporter in the format, and one of the best disruption cards in the game aside stuff like Mesprit, Power Spray, Spiritomb and Looker's.

However, obvious drawbacks. Being a supporter, you've wasted your supporter play for the turn so no Bebe's/Roseanne's/Collector for that turn. The other drawback is that even with the draw disruption, you're going to need some form of power lock to maximize its potential otherwise they can just Set Up/Cosmic Power out of it. For this reason, it works well in decks like Sabelock where you it's a very good alternative to Giratina Let Loose. In fact, Sabelock got a nice boost with this card, means your hand disruption can't be sprayed (aside from Cyrus's Initiative of course). Plox is the other obvious candidate for the card. Telepass lets you utilise your Supporter for the turn anyway, so that kills off one of the drawbacks. Plus, the deck is built around Power Lock, so the disruption is more effective. Toss in a Slowking and you've got Power Lock, deck control and hand disruption. Sounds good :p Not to say the card isn't versatile, it's worming its way into lots of decks besides the obvious candidates because of its ability to potentially cripple SP and be just a nice card to have in the deck. It's also fantastic vs. Shuppet, just as Looker's/TGW is. Looker's may be the better option in Gengar, but Judge is definitely a step up from TGW and I'm sure it'll find its way into loads of decks.

General playability: 8/10
Specialism: 9/10
In archetypes: 8.5/10

Average - 8.5
 
This card is great aginst sp decks because they put pokemon back there hand with poketurn with any deck if you where able to knock out claydoll i would use this card then.
 
One of the most hyped cards of unleashed. It's basically a let loose giratina in supporter form. It also lets you thin your hand for more claydol/uxie draw. Good disruption overall I geuss. Kills Shuppet completely. No wait,it destroys shuppet. I think. ... lol. Good alternative to TGW and Lookers,oh,and giratina.

Limited 9/10 Great Disruption. Using it with dunsparce can be used to refresh your hand :)
Modified 8.5/10 There are other disruption Techs that are better for some decks. Putting Judge's nail in the coffin. Joking. It's just not as good for those decks.
 
why not just play lookers? so much better. i dont like because you have to shuffle ur hand in to. 5/10 still good card

this card is a good one, but as a league leader and judge they should've picked a different name for it, several times at battleroads i thought someone was asking for my help when they were playing this card.

This is true. Some juniors call judges over because they think it's ironic that they are playing judge. Anyways it is a good card against Gyarados and jumpluff if you play mesprit on the same turn.
8/10
 
7/10 grat card, when TGW and other disruption cards go away it may see more use. However, I can issues where you play judge, say judge and a actual judge comes over; and goes "whats the problem?" xD
 
B.D.S.I.F.

Best Disruption Supporter in Format.

Looker's may be good with Gengar SF, but in most other decks, Judge will outclass it (getting you more cards as well as your opponent). You can usually figure out a few of the cards in their hand (especially if they used Cyrus last turn) anyways. An average of 4 cards is an average of 4.5, so unless you've got some tricks at RPS, it's better than TGW too.

9.5/10
