The year is 2017; a strange new world where fetch lands are in special products and previous EV constraints are throw out the window.   Join us for a long discussion of MM2017 spoilers and potential inclusions just in time for you to see full spoilers.   Corbin has a new microphone that randomly mutes his castmates,…

This week we have a Corbin excited by his favorite deck, a Doug excited by his biggest purchase, and a Jason made salty by the normal range of daily occurrences.    This week the nonsense takes over the first part of the cast.   Learn which cards to buy, which TNMT arcade game was the best,…

  All shall crumble before our dark realms of majesty is either an album with heavy makeup and hair product, or a sweet multiplayer card. Join us as the cast goes further off the rails than normal into a deep discussion about long forgotten oversized cards.  Also, there is a new best standard deck that…

In the aftermath of the protour, join us for a discussion about standard card prices, hear Corbin try to offend Jason and fail, and learn which new card Jason thinks should get the EDH ban-hammer.  We bless you with a longer cast than normal as old MTG personalities and events are remembered.  Join us for…

Jacob Van Lunen joins us to share stories of epic victories using draft-chaff slivers, give his insights on the upcoming protour, and talk about standard brew ideas so cool that even DJ is interested.  Corbin makes the least tasteful joke of the episode, which is impressive considering Jason is back.   Join us for this week’s…

  Jason is gone for the week but the spirit of interruption lives on.  JJ Jackson is our special guest as Douglas and Corbin  cover pre-protour specs strategy and then take questions from JJ about how a street-level financier with no storefront can get over.  Join us for this week’s Brainstorm Brewery.   Douglas Johnson…

It’s a dangerous world out there. People set up all sorts of shady scams to rob or murder people who are attracted to Craigslist deals. You might think we’d offer you advice on how not to get murdered by people like that, but we totally don’t. I’m just realizing that we spent a good portion…

The banning announcement came early, so we decided to push this out early too.  Craig Wescoe takes a break from being awesome at life to bless you with thoughts from the recent bannings, Legacy GP, and Aether Revolt.   Since the format is in such flux after the surprise bans, there is not a card-by-card set…

We missed last week and it may have only been half Corbin’s fault.  Its a new year and the cast is back with the best financial information and spoiler coverage.   Babies are absent from the cast, but their impact on the past year is discussed.   It’s Brainstorm Brewery. Douglas Johnson is our guest (@Rose0fthorns) Should…

We have three underage guests as our normal guest, DJ, is joined by Benjamin Hosler and Liliana Alt for an episode that will have you saying “We get it, you have babies.” Stay at home dads are gonna dad in this episode that might be the last one of 2016 unless you’re lucky. Strap in…

Corbin clearly wants to talk about his brew but he gets no-sir’d by the gang. If you want to watch it because you hate yourself, the link is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fn1cfRB7E0   Just kidding, that was Corbin hitting a light pole. The real link is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fn1cfRB7E0   That was Corbin hitting a light pole again….

Aether Revolt spoilers, a few card spikes from Atraxa and Corbin is a clumsy idiot. That’s about enough nonsense to fill the hour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fn1cfRB7E0 That’s “Corbin hits a light pole” in case you missed it. Douglas Johnson is our guest (@Rose0fthorns) Corbin hits a light pole again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fn1cfRB7E0 Cards spiked? Why? Aether Revolt Spoilers! Breaking…

Corbin’s on this one and he knows he was pranked. He pretends it doesn’t bother him, but we know better. The episode took a while to get rolling and honestly, most of it isn’t suitable for you hearing and will probably be relegated to after hours. We’ll do one of those soon. One or more….

So last week we asked for help pranking Corbin and you guys actually have no idea how well it worked. Like, you probably saw Corbin lose his cool a bit on twitter and what you don’t know is that he actually lost it to a way greater extent privately. It was fun times. I’m feeling…

Corbin never listens to the episode so after he got off of the group call we decided to have you help us prank him. If you all wouldn’t mind tweeting at him to mention how savagely we burned him at the end of the episode, that would be awesome. Don’t be specific, just mention the…

We got talking about how every episode of this cast could be someone’s first time listening to the cast ever. It was a weird concept and derailed us a little bit. How do you know how often to go back over stuff you’ve already discussed? Do you reference inside jokes? Do you assume everyone knows…

Two guests this week as Corbin is forced to do the cast with his baby on his lap like a real stay-at-home nerd. The disruptions are both minimal and hilarious and Corbin’s kid is a better guest than some people we could name (*cough*DJ*cough*). Big changes to the Pauper format and SCG’s support of Legacy…

We have a real problem. Our RSS feeds haven’t updated correctly and some people haven’t heard an episode since 203. Some people think we’re not a podcast. We ARE a podcast. We ARE. We record on the computer box and give it to you for free. Do us a favor – you’re able to access…

We did stuff out of order on this one. If we’re being honest, Jason and DJ knew that Corbin had to get up early and wanted to get the cast recorded in a timely manner so he could sleep before his flight and they actively impeded that. The good thing is that most of the…

No, I’m not going to explain the title in the show notes. Listen to the episode, nerd. You were going to listen anyway, so I’m not sure why you’re upset. Unless you’re upset that we didn’t tell you to buy Smuggler’s Copter at like $1. Believe me, we’re all mad about that. I had some…

We don’t actually talk about Frontier that much. Maybe I shouldn’t say that; maybe you really wanted to hear us talk about Frontier and you won’t listen if you think we don’t talk about it. We definitely talk about it. But I don’t want you to think we talk about it TOO much if you…

This is the Kaladesh set review! Corbin still insists on reading every card! Jason still has to drink to get through them! Ryan and Marcel luck out and don’t have to suffer the indignity of the exercise!   To help out, the gang enlisted the help of two guests – Douglas Johnson (@Rose0fthorns) and Shaeen…

Josh Lee Kwai takes a break from opening expeditions to join perpetual guest DJ Johnson, Corbin and Jason to discuss Kaladesh, masterpieces, and the best Disney sports movie franchise.   Breaking bulk covers casual and EDH gems, and pick of the week elevates your brain.   Cabe Riseau produced the intro and outro music for…

http://traffic.libsyn.com/brainstormbrewery/Brainstorm_Brewery_205.mp3   Jim Casale (@phrost_) was our guest on the podcast. The gang talks finance, the Pro Tour (for which Jim is qualified), Modern and even a little NHL news to boot. You’ll hear tons of finance tips, Jim’s philosophy about the Pro Tour, a special announcement about where to find him in the future…

We had a bit of a shakeup on the cast and moving forward the names and voices will be a little different but the quality will be the same. Marcel and Ryan will be back frequently for the Brainstorm Brewery After Hours podcast and we’re going to be having a lot of great guests in…
