How Long Until Ugin vs Bolas Duel deck?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on March 15, 2015, 5:48 a.m. by Death_The_Kid
So Ugin is a Planeswalker card now. Bolas is also a Planeswalker Card. WoTC likes to make Planeswalkers fight for our money. How long until I can buy a Bolas and Ugin in the same box? Oh with alt art and foil. Thoughts and ideas welcome. Tell me do you think it will happen? If so why if not why not?
yeah I wouldnt be surprised if we got a duel deck like that.

Probably when Battle for Zendikar comes out, both Ugin and Bolas were pretty involved with the Eldrazi. Ugin sealed then away, then Bolas planned for their release. I reckon that's when WoTC will release it if they do.

It would also be quite hard trying to find partially viable colourless cards to put into the ugin deck, at least to fit the flavor.

If it happens it will be after at least a couple more sets come out. Wizards won't reprint Ugin while he's still a driving force behind the sale of FRF packs.
Consider how long it took to make Kiora vs Elspeth. Probably about that long for UvB.

We will have to wait until Bolas gets another card, probably in Zendikar. They don't pick the same planeswalker twice in Duel Decks and Bolas already got one VS Ajani.

Typically the walker duel decks come out the February after their set finishes. So the earliest you could potentially see it would be next February.
However bolas wasn't printed in the block so Ugin v bolas is unlikely since both planeswalkers have been in the same set. So my best guess for that duel deck would be sorin v Sarkhan (rug) so that all 5 colors will be represented in a duel deck

Sorin already got a Duel Deck fairly recently, so I don't think that that will happen.

The Planeswalkers have to be from the same block right?
March 15, 2015 10:47 a.m.
FAMOUSWATERMELON says... #11
Yes I believe so. I think that we might get a new Ugin and a new Bolas in the coming block though.
March 15, 2015 10:49 a.m.
a back up i just made up would be narset vs zurgo... it nails 4/5 colors and fits in with KTK lore... or sarkhan v bolas
March 15, 2015 10:52 a.m.
I don't think you'll see Ugin vs Bolas. WoTC has been alternating a lot between walker vs walker and scenarios (IE Heroes vs Monsters and Elspeth vs Kiora). I honestly think that it's more likely we see Khans vs Dragons.

Probably not for a while, mainly because Ugin JUST came out, we just got a planeswalker duel deck, and Ugin and Bolas haven't been printed in the same block. All reasons that have previously been mentioned.
@ Seraphicate's comment: It shouldn't be too hard for Wizards to construct a viable deck around Ugin. We already have cards like Ghostfire, Scion of Ugin, Tomb of the Spirit Dragon, Ugin's Nexus, and Haven of the Spirit Dragon.
If I had to guess, we'd see the duel deck after this next Zendikar Block. I suspect we will see Ugin again and new non-Eldrazi colorless creatures. It's likely we may see Bolas in the block as well.

See the pattern is pre block duel deck (ex. Heroes v monsters for theros and speed v cunning for khans).
Post block is walker v walker (ex sorin v tibalt during Rtr, jace v vraska during btg, and elspeth v kiora during frf). So next February we will see a walker v walker duel deck that is in reference to khans the block. I'm also willing to bet in September we will see a bfz themed duel deck

CastleSiege Zurgo and Arcanis were not printed in the same block, and yet they got a duel deck together.

FAMOUSWATERMELON that is the pre block dual deck Sun Titan was printed never with Polukranos, World Eater either
March 15, 2015 4:58 p.m.
Currently, duel decks are 2 per block. - A theme clash at the beginning of the block (i.e.: Speed vs. Cunning, or Heroes vs. Monsters), and a Planeswalker clash at the end of a block. (i.e.: Jave vs. Vraska, or Elspeth vs. Kiora)
This is likely about to change, though we don't know how/when. Due to the change in rotation as well as 2-set blocks it can't remain at 2 duel decks per block... that would be 4 per year.
I would suspect that they will do a theme duel deck for one block, and a Planeswalker for the other. - Possibly a Planeswalker duel deck that could cover the entire year.
Knowing that, it could be possible that we see a Planeswalker duel deck after the release of BFZ that includes an iteration of Bolas fighting Ugin. - But I doubt it. - I would suspect some other PW vs. PW for this block only, and then a theme duel deck for BFZ (Something Eldrazi-ish vs. Something Fightingback-ish).

What if the next duel deck is Nissa vs. Sarkhan?
March 19, 2015 8:39 a.m.
That is also unlikely... maybe more unlikely than Ugin Vs. Bolas... Nissa was not in the Khans of Tarkir block (as a card, or in the Lore). - With Bolas, there was no card, but at least he was in the storyline.

Hmm. Well I guess I need to read more lore. I am new to magic. Started playing when Journey into Nyx came out. It would be hilarious if they did a troll duel deck of Charging Badger vs. Ugin
March 19, 2015 10:26 a.m.
TheDECKSPLORER says... #25
Kroto true. The charging badger deck would have nissa, ugin, garruk and all mythic rates as support cards. Aven skirmisher deck could have elspeth, and whatever white plainswalkers exist as well as white mythic rates as support cards.

Hoping Nicol Bolas comes out with the Origins set even though he's basically the main enemy of the MTG universe still pretty relevant to have his own story. If they go the way they are with the Flip Planeswalker cards like the Liliana reveal I can imagine Nicol Bolas being nasty.
March 21, 2015 8:06 a.m.
Baltec True but I still want a flip card of him though so you can switch between nastiness :P. The Liliana one is cool so I imagine they'll do it for a fair few Planeswalkers but namely the big ones I imagine like Chandra/Jace/Sorin/Garruk etc.

They already announced the planeswalkers. I want a new version of Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, something like Nicol Bolas, Master Manipulator, or something like that.

If the price of Ugin doesn't go down, it probably won't be until after FRF cycles out of standard
Hjaltrohir says... #2
I think it might, but not until Ugin is less expensive
