Bolcast 48 - Impact of Powerful Commanders with TorioftheVast of Scrybabies Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

This week on the Bolcast - one of my favorite people in the Magic: The Gathering creator space joins me for a chat. TorioftheVast from Scrybabies comes onto the pod to get into the impact of playing powerful commanders. Whether you're playing the commander or playing against the commander, they get removed for the most part and we get into that. A shocking revelation this episode concerning one of Tori's flagship decks is dropped.

Be sure to follow and support Tori!

Am I The Bolcast? 45 - Charm Offensive Politicking with Lua Stardust Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

This week on The Bolcast, Mikey's solo before and after the phone because Morgan is away for a sneaky Commander gathering. Her loss today because our guest is one of my faves in the Magic: The Gathering content creator sphere. She's down-to-Earth and funny. She's insightful and a champion of the cEDH format. She's a cosplay model and on the Commander Format Panel. Today, one half of the Scrybabies and one half of cEDH power couple makes one whole perfect guest - Lua Stardust calls in today to chat with Mikey!

Make sure to check out all things Lua Stardust at https://www.luastardust.com.

Another Am I The Mailbag? is next week so get your stories submitted to the amithebolas@gmail.com inbox. This time, a friend of Mikey's sent him one that makes him get mean and giggly.

This week on the Bolcast - Another mailbag episode!

A couple of things to plug:

My friend Winslow Dumaine is an incredible artist who makes not only hilarious bumper stickers but also an absolutely arresting tarot deck. He's designed a dungeon crawler board game with 750+ hand drawn cards with its own soundtrack and it's super variable and complex and cool and fun. I've played it a ton on my own like solitaire, but it's for 2-4 players. I've been really enjoying myself with my pre-sale copy of The Restless and the Kickstarter is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winslowdumaine/the-restless-a-hand-drawn-cooperative-tabletop-horror-game

Please help get Winslow over the line for the project!

Am I The Bolcast? 43 - Buying Low from Your LGS with Sierkovitz of 17Lands and Magic Numbers Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Yes, we now know that Cori-Steel Cutter was banned. This was recorded when Dragonstorm just dropped and the bookends were recorded two days before the ban announcement. So, yeah, we know! Timing! Crazy!

This week, we get a delightful chat with Sierkovitz from 17Lands and Magic Numbers. "But Mike," you're wondering, "doesn't Sierko dislike playing Commander?" To that I say "Yep!" He doesn't play Commander, but he's a stats guy when it comes to limited formats and a sweet dude with lots to say! It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Sierko especially as someone who peripherally engages with limited from a firm stronghold in Commander.

Please check out Sierkovitz's podcast Magic Numbers and follow him on all platforms - @Sierkovitz. Of course, shoutout 17lands.com!
