Am I the Bolcast?

*My audio quality is bad this episode, I'm sorry!*

This week on Am I The Bolcast?, we get a call from across the pond from one of my favorite Magic artists, Jack Hughes! I've been in love with his style since the If Looks Could Kill Secret Lair. Jack's fashion-forward style with a penchant for neofuturist imagery makes him a standout in the Magic art world and he's quickly garnered a devoted fanbase. Get your artist proofs and commissions over at http://jack-hughes.com.

Follow Jack on Twitter(@jackmrhughes), on Instagram, and at his website https://shop.jack-hughes.com

This week on Am I The Bolcast?, the silly boys reign supreme when Aaron David DeFazio calls in to have a chat about his brew style and shenanigans. AD is a filmmaker and director out in Los Angeles and a friend! He's also Rachel Weeks' sweetiepie and a member of that Discord group of pals I tend to reference a lot.

AD's building style sings to me and all those whose love of Magic extends to the unconventional and the goofy.

Follow AD on Twitter, on Instagram, and check out his work on his website.

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. Find all his stuff here on his Linktree.

Today, the gang gets a call from Sam Gaglio, the mind behind the incredible channel Rhystic Studies!

There's no other way to put it: Sam is my favourite creator in Magic: The Gathering. Rhystic Studies is a phenomenal channel with videos that treat Magic with the wonder and appreciation that such a beautiful game deserves. Sam has put out many videos about different aspects of Magic's history with a focus on the art of Magic. I sincerely cannot recommend the channel enough.
