The decklist for Magic: The Gathering's Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Tezzeret has been revealed, some of the highlights include new artwork for classics such as Swords to Plowshares, Mishra's Factory, Crusade, Thirst for Knowledge, and of course Elspeth and Tezzeret.

Two recently spoiled preview cards from Scars of Mirrodin have also been included in the decks, Contagion Clasp and Kemba's Skyguard.

Mishra's Factory definitely looks different, though many veteran players will likely still prefer their seasonal spectacles from Antiquities (The original print run of Mishra's Factory had one for each time of year, and many Elder Dragon Highlander connoisseurs will likely stick with the "winter wonderland" version)

That said, this is an excellent opportunity for a newer player to get his or her hands on this classic man-land from Magic: The Gathering history.

Swords to Plowshares has become one of Magic: The Gathering's most revered and respected removal spells over the years, and it's back here in Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Tezzeret with some striking new artwork.

There's some assorted other rares to be had here along with the new artwork/old classics cards - Triskelion, Steel OverseerRustic Clachan, Angel of Salvation, Catapult Master, Master of Etherium, Pentavus,

The fact that players get a copy of Elspeth and Tezzeret in the package as well is icing on a very carefully crafted cake, you'll be lucky to pick up a copy of Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Tezzeret at the MSRP of $19.99.

  • This is a great decklist. I picked up two of these for my personal use (had to finish my playset of Elspeths) and I am thinking of grabbing another one and holding on to it to sell later if the price goes up. They are $25 each at my store so hey can't really go wrong.
