Will WotC Ever Print Cooperative Decks?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

For the past several years, WotC has been printing Duel Decks, sets of two decks that are intended to be played against each other. However, one time, as a joke for either Valentine's Day or April Fool's Day (I cannot recall which holiday), they "revealed" Gideon with Liliana, a set that was comprised of two decks intended to be played together for the two-headed giant format. While that was a joke, I believe that it was an interesting idea.
Might WotC ever print cooperative decks, decks that are intended to be played together, with each deck compensating for the weaknesses of each other deck (such as an aggressive red/green deck paired with a controlling black/blue deck)? What does everyone else say about this subject?

They did the achenemy with nicol bolas. I could see them doing it with a similar product. For khans block you played against some crazy decks that had special rules too, so I could see them making cooperative decks to tackle something like that.

That is a pretty derned-good idea in my book. The game needs a couple more strong coop. cards though for those decks to be worthwhile.... I once made Selvala's Stampede pretty outrageous in a game of 'Emperor' d/t the "each player" text of the card

It'd be cool but it'd be too narrow of a product I think you'd have to make basicly a double duel deck and I don't think it'd sell well

Might be a little too specialized to make it a dual-duel set. Could just make next commander include more utility cards that perform well either in multiplayer format in general or in an added bonus capacity when used cooperatively like the aforementioned Selvala's Stampede. It would also be a nifty little bit of political play to have more cards that can be used in a tag-team way. That might actually broaden the customer base

I'm not sure about it but I would be on board with it.
Something like a twoheaded-giant duel deck would sit right with me.
