The cast is celebrating an actual milestone—this marks this point when more episodes were recorded on GatheringMagic than not. To help celebrate, the usual gang of miscreants is joined by GatheringMagic's Con-tent Manager and Head Honcho Adam Styborski (@the_stybs). With price spikes and new card borders to discuss, the gang gets down to business and ships you all the content you can handle in an hour without having to contact poison control about a value overdose. Whose Pick of the Week is the boldest proclamation? Whose is the most controver-sial? Who actually likes the new card border? How many awkward silences are possible? Find out the answer to all these questions and more on an episode of your favorite podcast that will have you asking, “When did Standard become fun again?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.
