Which planeswalkers would you like to see in the next spring duel decks? If it isn't Elspeth vs. Xenagos, I am going to cry.

It's more than likely to be Elspeth Vs. Xenegos. the promo art from journey into nyx clearly shows elspeth, xenegos and ajani duking it out.

I think that Kiora vs Ashiok would be interesting. Elsepth vs Xenagos is just too easy.

March 16, 2014 1:39 a.m.

Maybe it will be something new and be elsepeth and ajani vs xenagos I mean come on a human would have a hard time trying to take down a god alone even if you're a planeswalker

Heros VS Monsters was Red/Green/White, Jace VS Vraska was Blue/Black/Green....

Elspeth VS Xenagos would go back to Naya colors, and Ashiok VS Kiora is also back to BUG colors.

SCREW IT!

well if they follow the trend they normally do when it comes out it will have something to do with next block. either between 2 walkers that will pretain to it or 2 factions or overall themes (theros for example lead off with heros vs monsters)

They open the block with a theme which relates to the new block, and end it with a Planeswalker one, which highlights walkers which are about to rotate. For example, Before RTR it was Venser vs Koth, both of which were about to rotate. After that is was Izzet vs Golgari, which prepared for the Ravnica block, then it was Sorin vs Tibalt, who both rotated with Innistrad. Then Heroes vs Monsters, which opened Theros, Now Jace vs Vraska, who go with RTR.

So the next one will be related to the next block, and since we don't know what the next block is, we can't really say what the Duel deck will be.

I would think that Xenagos Vs Ashiok would be pretty legit.

I mean, as long as there's a Cryptic Command in the ashiok deck, we're all good.

Maybe for the Xenagos vs Ajani & Elspeth, Xenagos could have his god and planeswalker card up against Elspeth and Ajani's Planeswalkers.

How about Sarkhan the Mad vs Nissa Revane ?

Krayhaft says... #14

The fall duel decks series relates to the themed block coming out that fall, and the spring duel decks relates to the themed block that will rotate in the following September of that year.

The last faction vs faction deck, Heroes vs Monsters, came out in the fall and previewed the Theros block.

The latest PW vs. PW deck, Jace vs Vraska, just came out, and relates to the RTR block which will rotate this September.

So Elspeth vs. Xenagos next spring is very likely, but I would like to see a Kiora vs. Ashiok duel decks.

Oh is that Spring for you guys? Sorry, I'm other side of the world so its fall (or "Autumn") right now where I am, so the spring set for me would be later this year. Just got your seasons back to front.

Elspeth vs Xenagos it possible, but I think its actually less likely. If you look at the previous duel decks, they don't relate to the main story. Koth/Venser. Sorin/Tibalt, Jace/Vraska. I think its more likely that we get an insight into some of the side characters. So its more likely to be something like Kiora/Ashiok, Elspeth/Ashiok, Xenagos/Kiora, etc. Thats just my observation though, I could be completely wrong.

Garruk vs Liliana 2. if you look at the M15 preview art, you'll agree

Duel decks are for the PWs which are rotating out. So it won't be Liliana and Garruk.

katarhero says... #18

Good point. Kiora vs Ashiok.

It seems to me that elspeth and xenagos kinda got there thing going on if u get what i mean. I, and this is just speculation, think that it would potentially be the new Ajani who has to go off on a side mission to defeat Ashiok who is disrupting the nyx with his nightmares. Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Ashiok.

You can see it. you know you can.

March 17, 2014 10:22 p.m.

Bestach says... #21

See, assuming we get Ajani in JOU, which i agree is likely, I can definitely see that happening.

March 18, 2014 12:44 a.m.

Storm Crow vs Jace, Liliana, and Garruk...

March 18, 2014 2:55 p.m.

Rayenous says... #23

Although I think it's likely to be Ajani vs. Ashiok, I was expecting a Chandra vs. Someone pairing... simply because of the hype and trailers that surrounded the M14 release.

March 18, 2014 2:59 p.m.

In all Seriousness, now... they should do multicolored planeswalkers, I'd love to see a Xenagos vs. Kiora deck,

maybe land creatures versus aquatic creatures, or just satyr versus merfolk, plus the alt art....

Maybe it will be iroas vs mogis?

March 18, 2014 5:56 p.m.

Rhinowarrior says... #26

considering previous sets it will almost definitely be planeswalkers. It would be cool considering their backstory but if you think about it, iroas vs. mogis would be kina weird mechanically. Iroas will probally be put a 2/2 creature into the battlefield or gain 3 life or something of that nature because he is an opposite of his brother mogis. so basically those cards would be rendered ineffective against eachother making for a strange duel relying on other cards. Tis speculation however.

People saying ajani hasn't even been confirmed to be in JOU yet. I'm hoping or another ajani, but I'm not going to speculate on a deck that's a year off using an unconfirmed PW. Anyway I'm hoping for a Xenagos V. Ashiok, maybe Elspeth v Kiora.

Rhinowarrior says... #28

Ajani vs. Ashiok;)

March 18, 2014 11:36 p.m.

Bestach says... #29

Thats what I meant. Ajani hasn't been confirmed, except for showing up in some artwork with Xenagos and Elspeth. Theres a decent chance that he will show up, but its not guaranteed.
