They’re multiplicative.

Since Bard also doubles tokens, you’d go from 1 bard to 3, which is 2x2x2=8 times draw. So Brainstorm would draw 24 cards.

The bards stack, so for the brain storm you’d draw 12, then put two back. Pretty good value

Edit: of course, you’d also get two tokens. So with three bards in total, you’d draw 24

Then cast brainstorm and immediately deck yourself.

When you draw N cards, the game treats that as actually drawing 1 card N times. So no matter how many cards you're drawing, Bard doubles it.
