Season 10, Episode 30: Inside the Brewer’s Studio with Dylan Kruse
Some cards you spend a lifetime chasing. Deck after deck, brew after brew, always searching for that new tech or perfect configuration to finally break through. These are the cards that get into your blood
Dylan Kruse knows a thing or two about Waste Not. He has brewed literally hundreds of Waste Not decks over the course of six years. But his brewing range is much wider, including the Calibrated Blast list that is currently rocking the Modern leagues. If you have recently been the victim of an Emrakul to the face, there’s a good chance Dylan is to blame.
