It see play in 4 formats: Commander, Brawl, Pauper and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 14.21. It's a key card in 3 combos.
Brainstorm is a powerful card that would benefit decks focused on card advantage and deck manipulation, particularly in formats like Legacy and Vintage where it is a staple due to its synergy with shuffle effects like fetch lands. While Brainstorm is a strong card, there are better options like Ponder and Preordain that offer similar effects with more consistency, making Brainstorm a situational choice that may not always see play depending on the specific deck and format.
