Just buy a brisket and corn it yourself. It's easy (though it takes a while).

How does one corn a brisket?

You basically just brine it with some spices. If you want it to be that bright pink color you need a special curing salt, but you can skip it and it tastes exactly the same.

You can do a wet brine or a dry salt rub, both work. There are a zillion recipes online. I don't have a particular recipe recommendation because DH is the one that does it in our house and I've never paid very close attention to what recipe he uses. He does a dry rub though.
