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 the going rate for bulk and good outs for it, or that everyone on the cast has written articles about it? I guess what I’m trying to say is we referenced Cookie Clicker again and we don’t know how many people remember that. There’s a new one now where a cat is trying to be president or something and you grab money? It was not thoroughly explained. If you don’t remember Cookie Clicker, you will either be lost or you’ll go back to like episode 57 or whatever and listen, and that’s the point. A click in every cookie and a cat in every White House. Cookie Cats. Just listen to the episode, already.

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 are discussed and Commander 2016 is in focus in a jam-packed episode of your favorite podcast that will leave you asking “Did Corbin have a boy or girl?” This is Brainstorm Brewery.

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 the cast because you’re reading this so obviously you have it. Share this cast with a friend. Tell people it’s still going. Help us reclaim the 20% or so of our listener base we lost to technical errors. Be our pals. We’ll be your pals back. Thanks, everyone.

  • Breaking Bulk is super early. Again. We barely have to change these notes.

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 weird tangents led to a lot of accidental value. Are you picking out the basic island that is worth $1? You will be after today. We’re all about value for you’s listeners. This is Brainstorm Brewey.

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 in my shopping cart, even. Clicked the red X, didn’t want to gamble. Do you like to gamble? We missed on one card but we think there’s money to be made, still. We’ll get you ahead of the curve so you’ll have your copies to sell when everyone else’s orders are getting canceled. That’s how much we love you guys. Thanks for listening.

Brewing with Kaladesh

Welcome back for Brewing with Kaladesh. First off I apologize for missing Brewing with Eldritch Moon, but I was in the process of moving and did not have the time. I’ve brought you thirty decks today, that should show off a vast array of options for the new Standard format without Collected Company. I’ve only provided four sideboard suggestions for each deck as cards that should help to fight problems for it. I’ve definitely missed quite a few decks that I could have brewed up this time, but I only have so much time in the day to work on new decks and I wanted you to have access to these for week one.

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 have no interest in Frontier or don’t know what it is (we explain what it is, this isn’t our first rodeo). We talk about Frontier enough for people who want to hear about it and little enough that it won’t feel oppressive if you don’t want to talk about it. Probably. Most of our segments are longer, I don’t know why I let it take over the show notes like this. We talked about other stuff, too.

 

  • Douglas Johnson is our guest (@Rose0fthorns)
  • Frontier
  • Other stuff, like Breaking Bulk
  • Pick of the Week
  • There was some good stuff that got cut. Maybe After Hours?

#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 Soorani (@ShaheenMTG). Are there underpriced gems? Is Smuggler’s Copter good? Are the cards overpriced? Find out when you shove this podcast into your headholes, nerds! This is Brainstorm Brewery, ya heard?

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.

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 the future as we finalize the cast moving forward. We’ll be shaking up Patreon rewards and fixing audio quality issues and generally trying to be the best podcast we can. Don’t say goodbye, say hello to the future of Brainstorm Brewery, a future that absolutely involves Ryan and Marcel as well as Jason and Ryan. You’re going to like the future, we promise.

 

This week we were joined by Brainstorm Brewery turned MTG Price turned Quiet Speculation writer Douglas Johnson (@Rose0fthorns) who has a little podcasting experience of his own from over at Cartel Aristocrats as well as a few previous BSB appearances. The gang talks Conspiracy spoilers and other nonsense. Sit back, strap in and allow your favorite podcast to enter your head holes. Brainstorm Brewery is back.

Brainstorm Brewery #202 – Future Sight

You will not get your typical dose of Magic: the Gathering on this week’s episode, instead we talk about the future of technology. Joining the discussion is the prophetic Kevin Kelly (@kevin2kelly) talking about his new book The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future. We dive into Artificial Intelligence and its impact on society, technological changes and Virtual Reality. This is the episode you didn’t know you wanted to listen to, enjoy.

Brainstorm Brewery #199 – We’re Not Gonna Make It

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. It will make you laugh and smile and remember why you love this podcast so much. You’re just not going to get it next week. Anything worth doing is worth doing right and it’s also worth waiting for. It’s not like we won’t do episodes in the mean time, either. We’re not going on hiatus. We’ll be back with Episode #201 next week. You’ll forget we skipped 200, then, BAM. Value. While you wait, check out this very, very solid episode where we address manipulation of the secondary market, read e-mails, rename our new segment and give you so much value that you’ll have to buy a second phone just to store it all. Feast your earholes on Brainstorm Brewery.

 

  • Spoilers!
  • Who’s the Martin Shkreli of MTG Finance?
  • E-mails!
  • Bulk to Binder! Breaking Bulk
  • Pick of the WEEEEK, but earlier. You won’t know where.
  • Help us with episode 200 -actually, it’s too late, I think.

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 ton of time for either dillying or dallying so we skipped both and got down to business. This is a boilerplate episode of Brainstorm Brewery and if you don’t love it, you’re the one who’s wrong.

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 new segment to keep doing – there’s a lot to do. And there is a lot that you as listeners can do, also. Help us name our new segment where we discuss cards that are surprisingly not bulk. Patronize our Patreon. Write us an e-mail asking a question. Tell us your favorite running jokes from the last 200 episodes. You guys are the best and you’re the reason we keep doing this cast.

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 you think “That’s unprofessional” or basically “That’s something other than adorable” then maybe you should have doctors check for tumors in the part of your brain where you experience joy. It’s a 4 person cast with a new segment, discussion about everything from Eternal Masters to the price spike on Library of Alexandria and everything in between. Well, not everything in between. That would be ridiculous. Like, two things in between. If that. I think those two things might have been discussed back-to-back. Still, though. Nice little episode. Why not just put it into your earholes?
