I follow Mark Rosewater on Tumblr, and he said today that these would not have Planeswalkers. That leads me to believe that they will have Legendary Creatures, instead. I also wonder like the upcoming M15 Clash packs, if they will be designed to be combined into one "strong" deck out of the two.

Sounds more fun than random PW 1 vs random PW 2 in my opinion. Ill probably pick one up jus for silliness

I am thinking the decks will be R/B aggro versus U/G Flash

Lots of haste for speed... Maybe {Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug}?

How do i not have a million of those? Omg a deck of all rocket power turbo slugs is a guarareed win if noone counters with a FoW, just super haste all 7 of your opening hand for the win

The Fall ones are always kinda like previews in to the next block, like Phyrexia v the Coalition, Izzet v Golgari and Heroes v Monsters.
The Spring on have recently been Planeswalker duels and function kinda like a Farewell to the block that's rotating soon, like Venser v Koth, Tibalt v Sorin and Jace v Vraska

That was actually pretty informative, I've never noticed that.

Arcanis flavor is so badass.
And that helm smasher could definitely get out of hand fast.

Post by: rarehuntertay on July 28, 2014, 06:06:02 PM
I don't know which flavor text for Arcanis I prefer. This, which is the 10 ed text, or the Onslaught text.
Though the texts seem out of order to me...

Why is he worded "each combat if able" and not "each turn if able"? Will we be seeing a bunch of extra combat step cards?

My guess is for other cards that already exists.

Good pick! I didn't pick up on that! Maybe this means Mardu is getting a mechanic to attack in opponents turns somehow?!

I'm posting this in the Khan page too for relevance.

It's kinda funny because he is just a Wizard no more no less.

"Each turn if able" means he only has to swing once if you get an extra combat step ({Aurelia, the War Leader}). "Each Combat if able" means he has to swing all the time.

Very true!!! Still, I'm hanging out for that hope for mechanic! It fits the aggressive nature of that wedge.

Sounds like an absolute disaster rules wise. However it does sound epic.

They would never allow you to attack on opponents turns. I think it is a wording change.

agreed. its just to be more specific in case you get extra combats.
Title: Re: Duel Deck: Speed vs. Cunning (Baseless Speculation and Spoilers)

I agree also *drops head* just a cool idea to ponder.
