Sideboarding in Limited: using the remaining pool, answering bombs, and what changes between sealed and draft.

Curator's Note

In Limited your sideboard is a pool, not a built 15. Reid kills the trap of bringing Constructed sideboard habits into sealed — essential before your first sealed RCQ or prerelease grind.
