Brainstorm Brewery 227: Some Fish, a Flower, and some Salt

This week we have a Corbin excited by his favorite deck, a Doug excited by his biggest purchase, and a Jason made salty by the normal range of daily occurrences.    This week the nonsense takes over the first part of the cast.   Learn which cards to buy, which TNMT arcade game was the best, which deceased television personality holds the key to Corbin’s heart, and how Douglas turns your draft chaff into thousand dollar magic cards.   Join us nerds.

Brainstorm Brewery 224- The one where we have a pro tour champion on

Jacob Van Lunen joins us to share stories of epic victories using draft-chaff slivers, give his insights on the upcoming protour, and talk about standard brew ideas so cool that even DJ is interested.  Corbin makes the least tasteful joke of the episode, which is impressive considering Jason is back.   Join us for this week’s Brainstorm Brewery.

MTG After Hours #20 – In Real Life

Life isn’t easy, you’ll never have it figured out. All you can do is try to be better, cause you can always do better. Love each other and yourself, it’s difficult to share what you don’t process; happiness is infectious.

Brainstorm Brewery #222 – How to get murdered by a Craigslist seller

It’s a dangerous world out there. People set up all sorts of shady scams to rob or murder people who are attracted to Craigslist deals. You might think we’d offer you advice on how not to get murdered by people like that, but we totally don’t. I’m just realizing that we spent a good portion of this episode encouraging you to put yourself in statistically the most dangerous situation you’ll be in during a given week but without offering any help. So, uh, don’t get murdered. Especially since we relaunched our Patreon.

MTG After Hours #19 – Jonny Keranos

This week we are joined by the Storm master himself, Jon Finkel (@Jonnymagic00) to talk a little Standard but mostly drafting Storm in Vintage Cube  on MODO. This is a treat, so pour yourself somef fine Scotch, light a cigar and just kick back.

Brainstorm Brewery 221: The Wescoe Review

The banning announcement came early, so we decided to push this out early too.  Craig Wescoe takes a break from being awesome at life to bless you with thoughts from the recent bannings, Legacy GP, and Aether Revolt.   Since the format is in such flux after the surprise bans, there is not a card-by-card set review, but the group highlights some of their favorites.

  • Something something Douglas Johnson something always guest (@Rose0fthorns) something

Brainstorm Brewery #218 – Risk Assessment

Corbin clearly wants to talk about his brew but he gets no-sir’d by the gang. If you want to watch it because you hate yourself, the link is here.

Just kidding, that was Corbin hitting a light pole. The real link is here.

That was Corbin hitting a light pole again. The real link is here.

We get into a pretty good discussion about risk assessment and how to find stuff that Commander 2016 hasn’t made spike yet. If you don’t pay attention to EDH, better start now because it’s making hella prices spike and nothing else is really doing much. Get into trouble with us.

Brainstorm Brewery #217 – Double Double Season

Aether Revolt spoilers, a few card spikes from Atraxa and Corbin is a clumsy idiot. That’s about enough nonsense to fill the hour.

Brainstorm Brewery #216 – Corbin’s Back and Other Bad News

Corbin’s on this one and he knows he was pranked. He pretends it doesn’t bother him, but we know better. The episode took a while to get rolling and honestly, most of it isn’t suitable for you hearing and will probably be relegated to after hours. We’ll do one of those soon. One or more. We have a lot in the works – new Patreon rewards, Tee Spring, the works. This episode was by the numbers and that’s not exactly boring, but it doesn’t make for exciting show notes writing.

Brainstorm Brewery #215 – Podcast Emetrius

So last week we asked for help pranking Corbin and you guys actually have no idea how well it worked. Like, you probably saw Corbin lose his cool a bit on twitter and what you don’t know is that he actually lost it to a way greater extent privately. It was fun times. I’m feeling better about the prospects of a Teespring campaign, now. This episode was a special one because Corbin isn’t here and we have two guests join us whom you may know – Marcel and Ryan. It’s a very special episode of your favorite podcast.

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 burn was savage in its intensity and unprecedented in its animosity. He’ll finally listen to an episode of Brainstorm Brewery and there will be nothing. That’ll teach him. Also, this episode was pretty good.

Keep an eye out for Teespring

Help us get back the listeners we lost

That is all. Thank you.
