With Ryan Bushard missing in action and Corbin Hosler taking his love of Merfolk one step too far by flooding his house and sloshing around on the floor holding a trident, it’s up to Marcel and Jason to save the day. Save the day they do, with a Gen Con wrap-up, talk of Theros spoilers, and much, much more. However, will the half-crew cope with the missing confederates? What is there to do at Gen Con all week? What are some non-Magic games you should be playing or waiting for? Which cards in Return to Ravnica block are poised to go up after rotation? Can Jason do a passable impression of Corbin? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more when your favorite MTG finance podcast brings you more value than you can possibly handle on another installment of Brainstorm Brewery.

• Theros spoilers abound as the decklist and new cards in the new Duel Decks: Heroes and Monsters is spoiled. Two new keyword abilities are highlighted, and some old cards are receiving reprints. What’s going up? What’s going down? Tune in to find out.
• The fact that you’re only graced with two hosts doesn’t mean you’re receiving any less than the full dose of Pick of the Week—a segment announced by its own brand-new segment musical bump. Hear it here for the first time ever.
• Jason shares a cautionary tale of woe about buy-listing that you won’t want to miss. Don’t fall prey to the same unscrupulous buyers—listen, and find out how to protect yourself.
