Love and solidarity to all dealing with the awfulness happening. Be the light in the world.That said, what a delightful guest!

This week on Am I The Bolcast?, we get a call from Nile Joan Rivers about the time she tweeted about EDHREC and people were not cool about it. The tweet in question, for context, "Idk if this is a hot take or not but i think edhrec has done a ton of damage to this format. Everything is so homogenized now and you just see the same lists over and over"Folks were real dogpile-y about this and we get into it. Safe to say, we're a little biased at Am I the Bolcast? with our origins lying in the EDHREC sister site CommandersHerald.com. That said, Nile raises some good points and we discuss the merits as well as the effects of a data site like EDHREC on the format. All in all, we love EDHREC and if somebody's not into EDHREC, then that's cool too. Don't be a dick.

This week on Am I The Bolcast?, we get a call from one of my fave brewers in the scene - Spike Feeder Aaron! If you've ever enjoyed The Spike Feeders' gameplay on YouTube, there's a good chance you have Aaron to thank for the interesting and cool decks that you get to watch. Aaron's been tasked with being the chief brewmaster for the channel and, as someone who appreciates an engine, what he can do with a deck is fantastic. Morgan isn't available this week so I messaged a good buddy of mine to fill-in at a moment's notice - my sweet boy, Jake Browne! Jake's got a new Substack he's been working on and I asked him to come chat with me and offer his verdict on Aaron's Bolas story.Follow The Spike Feeders on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpikeFeedersCheck out Jake's Substack - manaclub.substack.com00:00:11 - Skip intro button.00:00:32 - Morgan Sanchez is not in today but our buddy Jake Browne fills in!

Hey! Bit of a strange one today - I (Carrozza) have been sick for a couple of weeks dealing with a new health complication. I'll be alright! I'm already recovering. However, I unfortunately had to cancel on Celani and Morgan twice leading up to this episode, but did not want to stall on Bevers' episode. I promise we will comment on the Knowledge Pool stuff in the next one!That said, our guest today is a Canadian Champion of Chaos, the Commander in Chief of the Chat Chaos Commander stream, Mr. Bevers! Our maple sweet boy Bevers calls in to talk extensively about his show before diving into a chat about Knowledge Pool and having no plans for a board wipe when a game has gone long (a topic, we've touched on before and will likely chat about again). Follow Mr. Bevers on socials.
