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

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! As always, we are sponsored by Cardsphere.com!
