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…

There are a lot of varieties of tuna out there. Solid white albacore. Chunk light tuna. Sushi-grade tuna steaks. Mahi Mahi is tuna-esque. It’s probably the best kind of canned meat money can buy. When Starkist, the makers of probably the highest-quality canned tuna money can buy was caught underfilling cans, the resulting lawsuit resulted…

We talk about Goldeneye and Mario Kart and how many more years it will take Mario Party 3 to make it to Oklahoma. We also talk about Worlds, the metagame, Hearthstone and its appeal, what it takes to fix MODO and whatever else we want to talk about. We’re on top of our game and…

No Corbin this week, so we have that going for us. Still, the docket was light and a light docket isn’t always ideal. How does the gang cope? By talking about fetches.   Fetches aren’t in Battle for Zendikar Jared’s Mono-White article The link to the dividers as promised. This is an updated link Support…

Five may have been too many this week and the gang throws the baby out with the bathwater, slimming its lineup down to a svelte three-man cast. Corbin’s the odd man out, having been condemned to spend a family vacation near Vancouver where he covered the recent Pro Tour. There’s plenty to talk about and…

Not satisfied with the depth of discussion last week about the impending changes to Magic Online, the gang doubles down and goes deep, this time enlisting the help of MTGPrice writer Travis Allen (@wizardbumpin) to untangle the web of uncertainty regarding the future of Magic Online. As with any good podcast, not everyone agrees but…

Get hype. Marcel is back and the gang is firing on all cylinders with a mid-afternoon cast that should have more energy than the usual “record at midnight” shenanigans the gang usually gets up to. There is a lot on the old docket and… look, it’s an episode of Brainstorm Brewery. Do you need to…

Yeah, there’s no Marcel this week. HEY! Don’t go anywhere! There’s still a perfectly good podcast, jackass. Not only that, Marcel has agreed to step in and do the intro and outro. What a deal! You can’t beat that with a Woodland Bellower. Make no mistake, this is a full episode, filled with intrigue and…

Marcel’s not around and it’s hard to want to do anything at all. We read some e-mails, then we read more e-mails, then… e-mails. Look, we could have taken a week off with Marcel here but we did an episode. And it’s an informative one. We didn’t mess around, we dug deep and made an…

This episode is all about the subtle mistakes in printing that can lead to big financial gains for those patient, and cunning enough to take advantage. Are you as totally mystified by the world of miscuts, misprints, crimps and screw-ups as the rest of the Brew Crew? Fear not, misprint expert Preston Gisch (@prestongisch) is…

In honor of Brainstorm Brewery episode #150, we’re celebrating by doing absolutely nothing. No special episode. No guest. No clips previously unheard. Nothing. Oh, I’m sorry, is a boilerplate episode of the world’s best Magic the Gathering finance podcast not enough for you? “Wow, all I get is witty banter, solid financial advice, a finance…

Finance talk seems like it might be light given the guest of such a high caliber as the gang is joined by Gerry Thompson (@G3RRYT) but you’d be wrong. There is plenty of time to pick Gerry’s brain and hear about where he came from and what’s next for him, but his insights are invaluable…

Pascal Maynard ruined Magic for everyone by taking a foil Tarmogyf in a Booster Draft. This will set the scene perfectly for a podcast from the ruins of a post-Magic-ruination landscape. Vegas is over, finance is wrecked and some dude managed to win an SCG Open high on mushrooms. The world may never be the…

Sometimes we predict the future on this cast. Last week, on a Monday Jason said that Serum Visions was likely to be an FNM in the future and the next day it was announced. This week Jason pretended to fall asleep in the intro and Ryan actually fell asleep during the outro. Want to hear…

We realize you rely on these show notes to get a grip on what’s in the episode. Doesn’t that feel a bit like a spoiler, though? Speaking of spoilers, that person who “leaked” Modern Masters 2015 early sure did get most of his information right. It’s too bad getting some of it wrong pretty much…

It’s not all Vegas talk this week. Not that much of anything really happened financially this week. Mike Flores played a weird Dragon deck and made some cards that we wanted to go down not go down but other than that, it’s all gas as this frees us up to talk about what we want….

Do you want to be ready for GP Vegas? Sure you do. If you want to be truly ready, there are a few things you want to get nailed down. You’ll want a BSB Tee shirt for sure. Keep your eyes peeled for the new Goblin token illustrated by Aaron Miller. And make sure you…

VEGAS HYPE.   Sorry, that slipped out. But, you know. Vegas. Ummmm you know. Hype.   If the gang wasn’t hyped enough already, the cast of the Command Zone EDH podcast on Rocketjump, Jimmy Wong (@jfwong) and Josh Lee Kwai (@JoshLeeKwai)  come by to talk Vegas, EDH, the PT, the CHEATERS at the PT and…

Brainstorm Brewery is a nighttime podcast. There are things that do not bear discussing in the daytime. Imagine how out of sorts the gang was recording a podcast at 3 PM. That’s just… that’s so early.   You know how an episode works, right? A 15 minute “intro” Finance 101 Finance talk Listener submitted questions…

The gang is assembled and it’s a very Patreonic episode. New segments are launched, rants are initiated and vocabularies are expanded.What makes the episode Patreonic is the reading of a Patreon finance question and a Patreon pick of the week. Do you want your question addressed and your name mentioned on the cast? Support the…

All kinds of announcements this week and with Corbin out of commission with a debilitating migraine, it’s up to a very special guest to step in. Unfortunately, a very special guest could not be located and the gang was forced to resort to inviting Chris Lansdell (@lansdellicious) on the cast. Topics include new judge foils,…
