I just had a simple quick question I'm unsure about.  If I cast Brainstorm on my opponants turn and the first card I draw is a Miracle card; can I play it for it's Miracle cost immediately, or can I not play it because the Brainstorm is not done yet?  Do I draw three, sit the Miracle card to the side because it was the first card drawn, finish the brainstorm abilitiy choosing two cards from my hand and putting them on top and then casting the Miracle card, or can I not cast it because it is still in the middle of a part of Brainstorms abilities, or do I cast it right after drawing it??? I'm currently using Thought Scour; but I'd like to use Brainstorm if it becomes legal in standard in Return to Ravnica.  Thanks for your time.

The ability that lets you cast a miracle spell is a triggered ability, it will trigger in the middle of Brainstorm resolving, but it won't go on the stack until Brainstorm is done.

Then you cast the spell in the middle of the triggered ability.

You must reveal it immediatly if you want to be able to cast it. Then,  you finish resolving brainstorm, keeping the miracle revealed throughout. After brainstorm has resolved, you put the miracle trigger on the stack and when it resolves, if the miracle is still in your hand, you may cast it for its miracle cost.
