MTG After Hours #22 – Flambé à la Carte

Don’t call it a comeback, because that would imply we had something good in the first place. As a nobody in the MTG game, life moves on in fantastic ways that appear quite boring. Thus is life.

MTG After Hours #20 – In Real Life

Life isn’t easy, you’ll never have it figured out. All you can do is try to be better, cause you can always do better. Love each other and yourself, it’s difficult to share what you don’t process; happiness is infectious.

Brainstorm Brewery #204 – A New Era

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 the future as we finalize the cast moving forward. We’ll be shaking up Patreon rewards and fixing audio quality issues and generally trying to be the best podcast we can. Don’t say goodbye, say hello to the future of Brainstorm Brewery, a future that absolutely involves Ryan and Marcel as well as Jason and Ryan. You’re going to like the future, we promise.

 

This week we were joined by Brainstorm Brewery turned MTG Price turned Quiet Speculation writer Douglas Johnson (@Rose0fthorns) who has a little podcasting experience of his own from over at Cartel Aristocrats as well as a few previous BSB appearances. The gang talks Conspiracy spoilers and other nonsense. Sit back, strap in and allow your favorite podcast to enter your head holes. Brainstorm Brewery is back.

Joining the discussion is the prophetic Kevin Kelly (@kevin2kelly) talking about his new book The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future. We dive into Artificial Intelligence and its impact on society, technological changes and Virtual Reality. This is the episode you didn’t know you wanted to listen to, enjoy.

Brainstorm Brewery #199 – We’re Not Gonna Make It

You are absolutely getting an episode 200 extravaganza. We’re going to put together your favorite clips of the best moments from the last 100 episodes since the last extravaganza at episode 100 (which was, like, the 106th episode we did, but, whatever) and you’re going to love it. It will make you laugh and smile and remember why you love this podcast so much. You’re just not going to get it next week. Anything worth doing is worth doing right and it’s also worth waiting for. It’s not like we won’t do episodes in the mean time, either. We’re not going on hiatus. We’ll be back with Episode #201 next week. You’ll forget we skipped 200, then, BAM. Value. While you wait, check out this very, very solid episode where we address manipulation of the secondary market, read e-mails, rename our new segment and give you so much value that you’ll have to buy a second phone just to store it all. Feast your earholes on Brainstorm Brewery.

 

  • Spoilers!
  • Who’s the Martin Shkreli of MTG Finance?
  • E-mails!
  • Bulk to Binder! Breaking Bulk
  • Pick of the WEEEEK, but earlier. You won’t know where.
  • Help us with episode 200 -actually, it’s too late, I think.
  • Support our Patreon! DO IT. You know this cast makes you more than $1 a week

Brainstorm Brewery #198 – Bulk to Binder

We asked and you delivered! Listeners helped us name our new segment – Bulk to Binder, and it’s going to be a regular part of the rotation from now on. We may have even remembered to directly credit whomever came up with the name, so that’s obviously upside. With spoilers to discuss, there isn’t a ton of time for either dillying or dallying so we skipped both and got down to business. This is a boilerplate episode of Brainstorm Brewery and if you don’t love it, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Brainstorm Brewery #197 – Down to the Wire

It’s almost Episode 200 and you know what that means! Or maybe you don’t. I personally think it means we’ll start labeling our episodes “198.5, 198.9, 199.0” etc. Still, just because this isn’t our Episode 200 extravaganza doesn’t mean this isn’t an action-packed episode. There are spoilers to cover, finance happenings, e-mails to read, a new segment to keep doing – there’s a lot to do. And there is a lot that you as listeners can do, also. Help us name our new segment where we discuss cards that are surprisingly not bulk. Patronize our Patreon. Write us an e-mail asking a question. Tell us your favorite running jokes from the last 200 episodes. You guys are the best and you’re the reason we keep doing this cast.

Brainstorm Brewery #196 – Listening to Fans (For Some Reason)

Marcel is hit with a work/baby 1-2 punch leaving him unable to join the cast. Things get very interesting when Liliana Alt decides she wants to emulate her father’s night owl lifestyle and forces Jason to cast with her in his lap, contributing verbally but unintelligibly when the mood strikes her. It’s adorable, and if you think “That’s unprofessional” or basically “That’s something other than adorable” then maybe you should have doctors check for tumors in the part of your brain where you experience joy. It’s a 4 person cast with a new segment, discussion about everything from Eternal Masters to the price spike on Library of Alexandria and everything in between. Well, not everything in between. That would be ridiculous. Like, two things in between. If that. I think those two things might have been discussed back-to-back. Still, though. Nice little episode. Why not just put it into your earholes?

Brainstorm Brewery #195 – Stitched Together

Corbin had to leave early and Marcel had to show up late. It wasn’t ideal but neither was skipping another week. What were we to do? Record in two separate pieces and stitch it together with audio magic, that’s what! With Eternal Masters to discuss, a Merfolk deck winning a GP and e-mails to finally read, there was a lot to cover. Someone on reddit this week said he doesn’t think the cast of Brainstorm Brewery likes each other. I don’t even know how to respond to that other than to say having Ryan and Jason record two separate episode halves like Marcel and Corbin are divorced is pretty funny given the timing. Strap in and listen to your favorite podcast, why don’t you? This is Brainstorm Brewery.

The gang talks about all of the announcements made by Wizards this week and discusses the financial relevance of each. After that, they do Pick of the Week. With the remaining time in the episode, they dig into the mail bag to read your e-mails and comments, so keep them coming!
