Brainstorm Brewery #214 – Help Us Prank Corbin

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #213 – Cat President

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #212 – Pretend You Can’t Hear the Baby

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #211 – Act Surprised When It’s My Pick

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #210 – The Only Island With Glen Elendra On It

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #209 – Parents Won’t Let Kids Buy Throat-Slitter

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #208 – A New Frontier

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…

#207 Brainstorm Brewery – Kaladesh Set Review

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #206 DJ JLK

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

Brainstorm Brewery #194 – Mailbag

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!   Announcements! Jason was…

Brainstorm Brewery #193 – Justification After the Cast

We’re so tantalizingly-close to episode 200 you can practically taste it. How are we spending our time until then? By producing the best possible podcast on the planet. Seriously, you’re getting this podcast for free. That’s value. If you only know one thing about MTG Finance and it’s “The best MTG Finance podcast is free”…

Brainstorm Brewery #192 – Clash Royale

Sometimes we get on a good discussion before the cast gets started and 15 minutes in, we realize it’s too good not to include in the episode so we just roll with it. That happened this week. The gang got into a discussion about accessibility and affordability that needed to make it into the episode…

Brainstorm Brewery #191 – Do They Call Them WotC the Bridgebuilder?

A lot happened in Magic. A good Pro Tour happened. A good Pro Tour documentary happened. A really terrible Pro Tour announcement happened. Cards spiked. Orders were cancelled. Casual formats went largely unnoticed. Players are out for blood. Who can help you navigate the crazy world of this card game? We can, that’s who.  …
