Title: Duel decks - Fall 2016. Baseless speculation
Post by: MarduArrow on March 17, 2016, 04:29:02 PM
Suggested name by OP: Sorin vs Nahiri
-Kaylesh

Unofficial, speculation only. Could these be the next set of duel decks? What may be in them?

Has this name been confirmed? 
Otherwise I don't see it and thread name should be changed.
Every other one used to be a pw deck.  We should have had one his time instead of blessed vs cursed. Also they won't use that new of pws.

Next vs deck will be for next block.  We have zen vs eldrazi for bfz.   And blessed vs curse for SOI

They will use new PW, as we saw in post Theros Elspeth/Kiora. However they have gone off beat with several legendary creature based decks. The story is appropriate for a sorin v nahiri, but i question if it will happen.

I can see why they would do this lore wise, but as far as the market goes this would pretty significantly screw up the prices of those walkers. I can see them maybe doing Sorin vs Nahiri next time they visit Innistrad but this is just too soon.

I highly doubt this happens.  If it does it won't be for another year.

I believe with the 2 set blocks now and 2 vs decks a year.  Each one released willl be for the upcoming block.   

Elspeth was in theros, kiora in born.  Born was released 2/27/2014.   
Elspeth vs kiora was release 3/27/2015. Over a year after kiora was released.

Was it that long between? Felt like it was soon after. Well, I'm hoping we get something slightly different if another PW vs deck arises.

Elspeth vs Kiora was released in the old setting, with 3 set blocks + core.
As such, it was released just before M15 and looked back (lore-wise) to the Theros block.
The fall set thereafter was a prequel to Khans.
(Speed vs Cunning).

Now, with two blocks & two versus decks, I think we'll see both decks being prequels to the upcoming block. (Taking Blessed vs Cursed and Eldrazi vs Zendikar as leading for the new policy here).

I'd love to see another Walker deck, but I think the fall deck will be all about the block after Inistrad-II.
