The number of members of this podcast who poop on EDH as a format is down to 1. Marcel “cubeycubecubecubitycubecube” MTG is the lone holdout as Ryan succumbs to his desire to play a deck with Séance in it. Corbin’s in France this week and couldn’t record, so that’s good, but Marcel is going to really determine whether the episode is a total hash and it’s going to come down to how much time he has to go all Stitcher Geralf on the chunks of usable material. Long-winded rants fill the empty space where we usually have Corbin talking and the segue is abandoned in favor of the jump-cut. If history is any indicator, you’re all going to really like this episode a lot. Why would you not? This is the best and only MTG Finance podcast around. We demystify the complicated process of buying and selling Magic cards in an educational and entertaining manner. We’re a big part of your week. We’re Brainstorm Brewery.

• Ryan is finally playing EDH. Direct jeers and laughter to our e-mail
• In honor of Ryan, Finance 101 is all about the appeal of EDH
• Marcel said this is episode 25. Last week he said it was 24.
• Speaking of 25, we want people to send in their favorite moments from 100-125
• Corbin and Ray are in Nice, France. Must be Nice.
• What financially relevant came out of Champs?
• What is up with foil Fatestitcher?
• We actually do a Pick of the Week. You’re welcome.
• A lot gets done with Corbin not around. Weird.
• We’re doing Tee Spring again. Ask Santa for a new hoodie or t-shirt.
• I applaud you for sticking with it and reading all of this.

Can I level with you? I’m not entirely sure which portion, if any, of what we recorded is fit for consumption. This isn’t a gag; really, I’m serious. We sat down and we really, truly had the best intentions. Corbin made show notes, and they had topics on them. We had plenty to talk about, but somehow, we just got kind of?.?.?.?sidetracked. The cast got mean, guys—real mean. You’re going to find yourself asking, “Are these guys even friends?” We know what you want—you want us to focus on Magic. Even if it’s not Magic finance, you want us to focus on Magic. It didn’t really happen this week. I mean, it did, and it also kind of didn’t. You’ll see.

The great part about this episode is that if you don’t like it, you’ll have to listen to the entire thing before you know you didn’t like it, and that’s still a win for us. And it’s not as though you’re gone forever; you’ll be all, “Wow, the cast is usually better than this. I hope next week’s is better,” and you’ll listen to next week’s, too—because you’re a listener. You know the sick thing? A lot of you are going to love this episode. It’s irreverent and funny, and it’s all over the place. People express sincere and unpopular opinions. We tell Corbin to shut up. I don’t know what was cut out, but when you hear the stuff we left in, you’ll be all, “They cut stuff out? What was that stuff like?” and maybe you’ll find out some day. If you listen the whole way through, you’ll be glad you did—that much I know. I mean, we did e-mails and Finance 101 and all the stuff we do in a real episode. So give us an hour of your time because, at the end of the day, this podcast is still better than paying attention to your job or your commute or your daughter’s ballet recital or whatever we’re drowning out right now. This is your favorite podcast. This is Brainstorm Brewery.

• The episode starts off with an awkward story involving Jason telling lies.
• Marcel said this is Episode 24. If you don’t hear it, he cut it out so he doesn’t look dumb.
• Grand Prix New Jersey is briefly touched upon. It was like a month ago—who cares, right?
• E-mails and Finance 101 blend together. I told you we recorded a real episode.
• What do StarCityGames changes mean for Magic? Is it good or bad or really bad?
• Why does everyone hate Ari Lax?
• We’re doing Tee Spring again. Ask Santa for a new hoodie or t-shirt.
• I applaud you for sticking with it and reading all of this.

Winter strikes, and the cast has a difficult time assembling at the designated time. It’s actually going to be a bit telling who assembles the show notes because someone both shows up late and doesn’t really know what was discussed for the first fifteen minutes of the episode. That same person may or may not be in charge of assembling the show notes. Is that revealing too much? Don’t worry about it—you read the show notes, so you pretty much earned it. Can I level with you? I’m not really entirely sure who, if anyone, reads the show notes. It reads like ad copy every week outside of the bullet points. If you’ve clicked on the link, we pretty much have you. It’s like having ads inside a McDonald’s—you’re already hooked, and you’re already probably pretty sad about it. Our podcast isn’t McDonald’s; let’s be obvious. We’re like Kobe beef served on China plates paired with a twelve-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon in a crystal goblet. We’re the podcast Kanye West imagines Kanye West’s podcast would be. We’re seconds away from being in your head holes, and you’re welcome for that.

• Grand Prix Edison was last weekend, and Jason, Corbin, and Ryan were in the Money Draught Mansion with @Time_Elemental and @SlickJagger. How many of JR’s belongings were destroyed?
• Jason got stuck in a snow drift, and who knows what the first fifteen minutes of the cast were about? Not him.
• Jason and Ryan learn that Marcel is the actual scum of the earth.
• Marcel pronounces a bunch of words funny.
• Reader e-mails dragged on, so some of it was cut so Marcel could get up early.
• Pick of the Week goes super-esoteric. Jason essentially just rants. It was weird.
• Ryan describes this episode as “better than not doing one.”

You’re not hearing things; Brainstorm Brewery has been invaded! Determined to bend the universe to his will in the interest of making his own life easier, Jason records Money Draught and Brainstorm Brewery back to back this week and brings JR (@Time_Elemental) and Slick Jagger (@Slickjagger) with him. Two’s company, but five’s a crowd as Marcel ducks out to do grownup-people stuff. With no one to drive the train, does the gang go off the rails or are you in for a podcast meet-up that is greater than the sum of its parts? Can’t it be both?

With Slick keeping the gang on track and JR offering his trademark finance insights, this could be the best Brainstorm Brewery to date. The list of guests who have been back on the cast more than once is a short one. So who ends up driving the train? Who has the most controversial Pick of the Week? Who dozes off? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an episode that will have you asking, “Why haven’t I been checking prices on MTGGoldfish?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

• Guestravaganza! Money Draught millionaires Slick Jagger (@slickjagger) and JR (@Time_Elemental) join their cohost Jason and invade the BSB!
• Finance 101 comes naturally this week.
• Slick tries to derail the cast with questions and ends up accidentally adding value.
• Listener e-mails are insightful as ever.
• Questions? Concerns? E-mail brainstormbrew at gmail dot com.

Ray’s the rookie, Jeskai Ascendancy continues to evolve, and Commander (2014 Edition) is the stones. Sometimes, everything is right in the world and you start firing on all cylinders. With a few topics to cover, the gang got right into it. Who’s the real diva on the cast? What’s the rarity on Jason’s Pick of the Week, and who gets it wrong? How long has it been since the gang read an e-mail? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an episode of your favorite podcast that will leave you asking, “What does “take the piss” mean?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

• Jeskai Ascendancy continues to evolve.

Corbin’s back, and he shows no signs of having any willingness to listen to last week’s episode. He still has time to use the code word (cricket) and not lose the bet, but we sure would love it if no one told him. He can almost be forgiven for his absence last week, as he comes correct with tales of coverage at the Pro Tour in Hawaii, a Pick of the Week, and his general tendency to fill dead spaces. In fact, every cast member brings his A game this week and delves into some important finance topics and discusses some of the goings on in the community at large. This cast will be more fun than being on the giving end of a fourteen-minute Jeskai Ascendancy combo turn. Who eats some crow about bad calls during the set review? Who has his Pick of the Week sniped? Who listens to Eminem with a regularity that would embarrass most people? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on a very special episode of your favorite podcast that will leave you asking, “What does cricket mean?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

• After a few false starts, Finance 101 is launched into early.
• Listener e-mails double-dip, knocking out a few letters from a dedicated fan.
• Does Alex Bertoncini have competition in the Biggest Cheater Ever race?
• Do we really want Ryan to talk about deck-brewing? (No.)
• Corbin steals Jason’s Pick of the Week—not cool.

The Pro Tour is over, but you wouldn’t know it because Brainstorm Brewery is a man down after sever jet lag, and some procrastination-related complications sideline everyone’s fourth-favorite cast member. With one fewer person to fill awkward silences, his true worth on the cast becomes apparent to everyone. Will the entire gang manage to get together and record regularly again or will communicable disease season claim the voices of a different member next week?

It’s Pro Tour recap time, and there is plenty to talk about. Who is too sick to make the cast? Who gets to bask in the glory of correct calls that other cast members maligned? Which sets’ cards are better than others as buys during the Pro Tour weekend? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on a very special episode of your favorite podcast that will have you asking, “Why is Marcel doing shout outs again? Didn’t Jason threaten to murder him last time?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

• Jeskai Ascendancy Storm? In Standard? What in the actual world?
• Ari Lax is the Pro Tour winner with Abzan Midrange.
• Finance 101 is all about buying before and after the Pro Tour.

Goblin Rabblemaster is approaching $20, Mantis Rider is approaching $10, and nothing seems right in the world. What’s going on? Someone has been bitten by the Cube bug and won’t shut up about his Cube. I won’t say which host it is, but it’s Marcel. Cube fever caused him to go on a shout-out rampage, scuttling discussions in the middle, disrupting the flow of the show, and causing general anarchy and disarray. You’ll probably love it. Who was most incorrect about Courser of Kruphix? Which color was overrepresented over the weekend but underrepresented in spiking prices? Which eight cards are likely to start out every decklist for the near future? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an episode of your favorite podcast that will have you asking, “Wait, Jeskai Ascendancy is bannable in Modern? What?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

The prerelease is over, and some prices are starting to go a little bit nuts. Should we be panicking? Is it too late to buy into certain cards or are they going to go down before too long? What do we make of this crazy twilight time between the prerelease and the Pro Tour? The gang weighs in and even manages to talk about the wacky situation regarding the new prerelease-promo scheme. Reader e-mails are answered, Fogo bets are discussed, and value is there for the taking. Who doesn’t know how to send an e-mail? Who spent the week getting into the Temur mood by eating salmon like a bear? Who doesn’t think casual players are on Magic Online?

It’s time for the Khans of Tarkir set review, and while the cast is short a man, it’s long on enthusiasm. Despite the certainty that most of the rares will end up bulk and Khans will be the most-opened set in Magic‘s history, the gang can’t seem to agree on which cards will be bulk. Everything seems playable, but will it be? What card do Jason and Marcel disagree on so much that a Fogo bet is instituted? Who thinks Commander is receiving a lot of gas? Who has been hard at work testing on Beta and finding playable gems? Who hates most of the set? Who had technical difficulties and spends the episode benched? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an extra-long set-review episode that will have you scared to pre-order anything, and that’s the way it should be.

Joined by Spike Feed‘s Dustin Gore, the gang delves into some unfamiliar territory: trading for and selling foreign cards. The cast goes off the rails with talk of pay-by-the-hour bars in Japan, the impact of Hardened Scales on Standard, and the ethics of cross-continent trading, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. What is the reason for Korean and Russian cards being worth so much? What’s the best town in Japan to visit and value-trade in? How much is it to drink for an entire hour in a karaoke bar? Find out the answer to all these questions and more on an episode of your favorite podcast so jammed with value that you’ll try to trade it for a Russian foil Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.

• Finance 101 is all about the foreign market.
• What’s the best time to go to Japan to trade?

We’re seeing more spoilers than a Honda dealership in a bad neighborhood—including one of atomic-bomb caliber: Onslaught fetches are back! With Khanslaught fetches coming to a booster pack near you, everything is going to change. How do we navigate the murky waters of Modern receiving better fixing, Standard moving to three-color wedges, and Legacy losing its monopoly on allied-color land grabs? The gang weighs in, drops some Finance 101 knowledge, goes over spoilers, and still has time for Pick of the Week. It’s more value than you can handle, so make sure you keep both hands on the wheel during your morning commute. You’re going to look like that dude who exploded in the Monty Python sketch after you are force-fed more value than you can handle on an episode of your favorite podcast that doesn’t skimp on the pâté. Who called Onslaught fetches a while back? Who is encouraged by the word Ugin appearing on a card? Who wants everyone to stop using the phrase graveyard theme? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an episode that will have you saying, “Why did Nicolas Cage dress up like the guy from Nickelback in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?” This is Brainstorm Brewery.

• Khanslaugh fetches! Taste it!
• Finance 101 is all about the effect of reprints, a topic that begged to be discussed.

What happens when you mix a guy named Alt with Magic‘s best card alterist? It’s probably nothing significant; that’s a pretty tenuous connection. Still, when you bring Magic‘s most beloved alteration artist onto Magic‘s most beloved podcast, they’re bound to get into some shenanigans. Who has his Pick of the Week swiped? Who gets a hard time for his cuisine choices (it’s not who you think (yes it is))? Who’s bullish on the upcoming changes to the structure of Standard?

It always feels like it’s a slow news week at first, but once the floodgates open, an hour just flies by. With new sealed product, new Magic Online clients, new e-mail questions, and a new core set, there’s no shortage of topics to discuss.

Every once in a while, fortune smiles on Brainstorm Brewery, and the right guest for the set review becomes available. This time, Judge Emeritus and Godfather of EDH Sheldon Menery joins the brew crew for a look at Magic 2015, a set with quite a few Commander gems hidden among the cycle of splashy mythic souls, big sexy Planeswalkers (like, sexy as in, “Wow, these are cool to play with,” not like, “Wow, Ajani is looking sexy.” Like, it’s cool if you’re into that; some people are. We don’t judge.), and saucy Slivers. Which Commander gems are currently underpriced to a degree that confuses a veteran Commander expert like Sheldon? Which cards seem a bit overvalued and can only possibly maintain their presale prices with a ton of Standard ubiquity (besides most of them)?

You’ll become very familiar with M15 in a double-stuffed episode crammed with so much value that you’ll think twice about complaining that this was too long to listen to on your commute. Pop in your earbuds, ignore your boss going home early, and jam your Friday away with an episode of your favorite podcast that will have you saying, “For first of all,” even though no one else gets the joke. This is Brainstorm Brewery.

• The gang is joined by Sheldon Menery (@SheldonMenery)!
• Find Sheldon on Facebook as well as Twitter.
• Catch Sheldon’s weekly prog rock podcast Brain Salad Sandwich.
• The Magic 2015 set review is the focus of the episode. No time for anything else.
• Which cards seem undervalued?

Magic 2015 spoiler season is drawing to a close, and with much of the set spoiled, some patterns are starting to emerge. There is a lot to analyze and a lot to speculate on, and there are some historical trends to help us predict what’s happening. All in all, this looks to be among the best core sets ever. The gang spends much of the episode weighing in on financial implications of a set that isn’t quite spoiled yet but that can tell us a lot already. How does everyone feel about some of the new Planeswalkers? Who has an allow-myself-to-introduce-myself moment? Who keeps licking his microphone? Find out the answer to all of these questions and more on an episode of your favorite podcast that will have to asking, “What do Alpha corners look like?”

• Jason had a disappointed experience with a collection.
• Finance 101 is still an important topic each week, and this week, it deals with core sets.

The gang is joined by Kevy Metal (@kevymetal) from Heavy Meta, improbably, to talk about M15, Vorthos and Finance 101. Spoilers are discussed and much merriment is had at a Brew Crew member’s expense, though probably not the one you’d assume.
