Brainstorm Brewery #185 – The One Corbin Didn’t Listen To

The gang is joined by resident 5th Host Ray Perez Jr. (@rayfuturepro) to talk about Modern, how much Ray doesn’t like Modern, what could get unbanned in Modern, what will get banned in Modern, which GPs and PT events Ray will go to if it means playing Modern and Modern. It felt like that was…

Brainstorm Brewery #182 – Eldrazi Spawning?

Sleep is for the weak. At least that is what Jason and Marcel want you all to believe as they both pick the first week of February to have their kids. Marcel has to bow out this week due to child-related obligations so the gang gets a very special guest to fill in – Mr….

Brainstorm Brewery #181 – What Do You Call eBay in Canada?

The eldrazi are great, but their names could be a lot more distinct. World Crusher? Reality Bruiser? I sometimes think the price of Thought-Knot Seer is so high because it’s the only Eldrazi people are able to identify and buy on purpose without trying to buy something else. The gang keeps getting tripped up on…

Brainstorm Brewery #180 – You’re Not Even A Judge

There were lots of happenings the last few weeks and since we didn’t get to talk about anything last week due to the set review, we decided to jimmy jam everything into one action-packed episode and get caught up. There were prerelease weekend shenanigans, GP Oakland was a thing, multiple bannings happened and Reddit showed…

Brainstorm Brewery #178- Don’t Use the B-Word

Stop saying “Buyout” because you’re almost certainly using it incorrectly. There were some price corrections, some runs and some hype this week and the gang gets to the bottom of what happened. With Oath of the Gatewatch nearly spoiled and EDH cards heating up in Financial markets, there is a to to discuss. You won’t…

Brainstorm Brewery #177- 2005 Behind, 2016 Ahead

The episode begins like all good episodes with a slip of the tongue that derails the cast for ten minutes. When you hear that, you know it’s going to be a good one and this is no exception. Oath spoilers, talk about past technology and resolutions for the new year are all on the docket….

Brainstorm Brewery #176 – 2015 Year in Review

2015 was a wacky year for this Children’s card game. Jobs were gained and lost, cards were leaked, tournaments were won, Vegas happened and what happened in Vegas needs to stay there for the most part. 2016 will be full of diaper changes and a lack of a core set and leaks being severely punished….

Brainstorm Brewery #175- Instances of Sorceries

Corbin starts us off by regaling all of us with a tale of his pocket getting “picketed” and we’re off to the races with a great episode where clearly we know there isn’t a lot to talk about Magic-wise until we start discussing it and, holy crap there’s actually a lot to talk about. The…

Vintage Cube Retro Art Patch 2015

This patch is no longer being distributed, it contained images which infringed WotC’s copyrights. I did not consider this was occurring, I apologize for my transgressions. -Marcel I am working on a tutorial on how to custom the card art for any card on Magic Online, it should be live before the new year at:…

Brainstorm Brewery #174 – Splinter Twincast

Two podcasts, three hosts. What could go right? Jason chats with Marcel on Monday and Ryan on Tuesday because that’s how it could happen. Is Jason up for an interview-style cast? (No) Is Marcel willing to take the secondary role and allow himself to be passively interviewed? (No). Is this a good episode? (Yes)  …

Brainstorm Brewery #173 – Darker than Animorphs

  http://traffic.libsyn.com/brainstormbrewery/Brainstorm_Brewery_173.mp3   I’m going to level with you. I don’t remember anything about recording this episode. I think it was a good one. We talked about a lot of non-Magic stuff, so, you’re welcome, I guess. We discussed Animorphs at one point? I’m not entirely sure that even made the cast. We talked about…

Brainstorm Brewery #172 – Mashed Potatoes Elemental

http://traffic.libsyn.com/brainstormbrewery/Brainstorm_Brewery_172.mp3 Whipped Potatoes – 1) boiled potatoes that are blended using a whisk or an electric mixes to integrate air into the mixture. the process creates a creamier texture compared to mashed potatoes.   2) potatoes too timid to stand up to their wife.   The gang is lost without Marcel Tournament results PES a…

Brainstorm Brewery #171- Corner Cases

Magic sure is funny. GP Atlanta was a Commander 2015 release party. Wizards doesn’t want MTG Goldfish providing MODO match data. Patrick Chapin is a corner case. It’s a weird children’s card game we play and weird stuff happens.   GP Atlanta recap There was a middle part to this episode. I just re-listened and…

Brainstorm Brewery #169- 2nd Place Best Place

Personally, I thought Josh Lee Kwai (@JoshLeeKwai) from the Command Zone podcast was a great idea for a guest. He sent us an e-mail asking a great question about finance and we invited him on the cast to talk about it. Simple. Then GP Indianapolis happened and Ray Perez Jr got second place. Second. Not…

Brainstorm Brewery #168 – A Bird in the Bushard

Jason’s back and you know that that means? The snoozefest from last week? A thing of the past. Just kidding, not only does the gang get sucked into spending like 5 minutes on one of the same arguments from last week, unless it gets edited out, Corbin starts to read an e-mail that was read…

Brainstorm Brewery #167 – Four Amigos

Hypothetically, say a member of the podcast wasn’t on the episode. Say he said “Literally the only time Tuesday I can’t record is between 9 PM and 11 PM, so if you record literally any time other than that two hour window, I can do it.” and then the group recorded the podcast without him….

Brainstorm Brewery #166- Absence Makes the Heart Grow Indifferent

Hey, guys, my name is Eric. Look, this is a little bit awkward. I got a Skype call from Ryan, Marcel and Jason this week and they said “Don’t do regular show notes, instead tell everyone we’re doing a vote to see if Corbin is getting kicked off of the podcast.” They insisted they were…

Brainstorm Brewery #156 – Magic: the Fathering

Brainstorm Brewery #165- Magic: the Fathering   It wasn’t planned. If it had been planned, it would be extraordinarily uncool of the gang to not let everyone in on the gag. No, it wasn’t planned, but the cast is becoming fathers. Did any of the pregnancy talk make it into the episode? Will we have…

Brainstorm Brewery #164- Into Demon Cats

Craig Wescoe is a pretty good guest. He’s a deck brewer and a member of Team Ultra Pro. He is the foremost white player (white deck player; don’t bring race into this) and he’s a financier to boot, writing financial review articles for each set on TCG Player. You want to hear what he has…

Brainstorm Brewery #162- Herald and Akoumar Go to White Castle

Grand Prix Oklahoma City happened and we have to let Corbin talk about it. He was there. He lives there. Voluntarily. They have cars and planes and trains and busses. There’s Uber or Lyft if you get too much of a Germany vibe from Uber. There are ways out of Oklahoma City. Corbin chose to…
