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.

Segment 3: Metagame Week in Review

Starcity Games’ invitational was this past weekend, and it brought plenty of Standard and Modern decks to discuss. Bant Company, UB Zombies, Death’s Shadow Zoo, and RG Valakut are just some of the interesting lists that appeared.

Segment 4: Topic of the Week

Conspiracy: Take the Crown has been revealed in full, and it’s for some it’s what they wanted Eternal Masters to be in the first place. Show and Tell joins Berserk as high-profile reprints, with plenty of other cards sneaking in, like Horn of Green and Ghostly Prison.

 

PucaTrade’s redesigned site also launched this week, and it brought with it foreign card support and a connection to the MTGO market. New opportunities are abound for the adventurous trader.

PucaPicks for August 25, 2016

Well, everyone, the much-hyped new Pucatrade is here and gosh, it’s pretty. It’s also clunky and everything is in a different spot, which is never really fun. I am not yet a fan of the new layout, I feel it’s a lot of extra graphics and unneeded stuff, especially on mobile.

However, I’m giving it and myself time to adjust to a new way of doing things. I’m planning on a more comprehensive review of the site and how things work next week, after I’ve had a chance to play with the settings and send out some cards.

This week, I’m going over my current picks from Eldritch Moon. Normally, I don’t advocate getting cards from the set in print and is being drafted every week, but there’s a new factor: Conspiracy.

The short version is that a ton of people are going to want to draft and play and buy Conspiracy: Take the Crown instead of the usual Eldritch MoonEldritch MoonShadows over Innistrad. Plus, we have only one month until the Kaladesh prerelease!

So now is the time to look at EMN cards and make some strategic pickups.
