Err..Judge is really not that much harder to play. You have a bad hand and your opponent have over 3 cards, use it, Your opponent has Collectored/Communicationed/whatever for some cards they can play next turn, use it. You have less cards than them and no better supporter to play, use it. You have Magnezone out, use it. The list goes on. N shouldn't be changing your games that much; if you have 1-2 prizes left and your opponent isn't crippled by N themselves you should be far enough ahead to easily take that last prize or two. Simple resource management can usually save you against N-if anything, N is more skill based because you have more unique scenarios that change with the game, so there are no standard rules for using it.
