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,…

It’s the Dragons of Tarkir Set Review. We review cards from Dragons of Tarkir. All of the rares and mythic rares. And Marcel pronounces things wrong and it’s funny.   Support our Patreon! DO IT. You know this cast makes you more than $1 a week Need to contact us? Hit up [email protected]   Brainstorm…

Most of the set is spoiled. How do you not talk about cards? You HAVE to, right? There are so many spoiled cards that warrant discussion and the gang had to restrain themselves. You will hear them restrain themsleves when they say “OK, we will talk about spoilers, but everyone only do one card each”…

The gang is joined by self-styled financier Kyle Lopez (@itsyourboyLOPE), CEO of Aether Games. As you may have guessed, Kyle deals in Magical cards. As you may have guessed, he knows some things about it that you want to know. The gang facilitated this transfer of knowledge from his head to your head painlessly. You…

We skipped a week. We’re really, really sorry about that. The important thing is that we’re back, and we’re in your face with so much value that you’ll need to buy a spare trade binder to hold all of it. You’ll be like that dude trying to hold too many limes, but instead of limes,…

There’s a lot to talk about. Things are upside-down right now, and it’s hard to know what to make of it. No one on the cast saw Tasigur, the Golden Fang coming. There is an Ascendancy combo deck, and it’s not in Jeskai colors. Corbin’s drinking actual beer. Finance experts are being used to Kiblergoogle…

Those who didn’t value it less than a Garth Brooks concert were able to play the prerelease this last weekend and look forward to Monday morning when the DCI dropped a bomb and banned Treasure Cruise, Dig Through Time, and Birthing Pod and ruined lives. We help you navigate the post-ban landscape. We do all…

So. Here you are—the half of the original listener base that wasn’t alienated last episode. That’s excellent. We’re glad to have you back. You passed our test, and you can be our friend now. This was an episode just for you, the fans. We talk about Grand Prix Denver, spoilers, and Finance 101, and we…

Spoilers have started, confusing mechanics are announced, the new year is upon us, and audiences are alienated. Some of you are going to reread that last sentence and try to figure out where it changed tense. Some of you are going to disagree with a few of the Picks of the Week. Some of you…

This week, the guest is Douglas Johnson (@Rose0fthorns). Doug is a finance writer for Brainstorm Brewery‘s content website, penning the wildly popular Conjured Currency series that is nearing its milestone fiftieth iteration. If you haven’t been reading, checking the backlog now and getting caught up is an acceptable use of your time. If you’re enjoying this podcast in…

The gang was joined by a very, very special guest this week: director of organized play for Wizards of the Coast Helene Bergeot! Helene answers some questions about Modern Masters (2015 Edition) and changes to the Friday Night Magic structure, and she hints at some possibilities for the future of the game! You won’t want…
