While I'd love for Brainstorm to be the rare card to beat suspension, I do feel like some people (wotc) are underestimating its power and versatility. It's a utility card that just always keeps up with the power of whatever format it's in, as historic gets more powerful Brainstorm will too. There's no card that's going move Brainstorm out of its place in the large majority of Blue decks.

Also don't go counting your wildcard chickens - there's no rule that says they have to revisit this matter in a month. When they introduced the concept of suspending cards the idea was that future releases could evolve the format to a point that a suspended card could come back. Burning Tree Emissary spent three months suspended before they felt it was okay to return it to the format. Given that they seem to really not want to ban Brainstorm they could leave it in limbo for even longer, especially since there's nothing specifically for Historic on the horizon right now (Amonkhet Remastered came out one month after the BTE suspension and definitely impacted the meta).
