Elspeth Tirel is adrift amongst the planes, seeking only a place of solace. Despite her prowess in battles, she has no desire for confrontation, but is again pressed into combat to uphold her sworn duty of service and protection. Tezzeret is an artificer equal parts ambition and etherium, the arcane alloy that imbues his body. His true allegiance is only to himself, and he's unafraid to use allies as well as enemies as pawns in his quest for power.
These two powerful, diametrically-opposed Planeswalkers will collide. You'll determine who will prevail.

Microsoft's latest update for Gleemax was buggy, and resulted in multicolor in every block since Lorwyn.
And thus the dumb battle over the prices of the singles of the two Planeswalkers and the Duel Decks will commence. Woo.
The pairing is a little weird to be, but I haven't picked up on the Shards lore to know it that much. I'm only guessing these are going to be Bant and Esper decks anyway, since that's probably what's going to happen.
I do love Elspeth, so I hope this will drive the price down a little, even if she is rotating out of Standard. Also, the expansion symbol is pretty awesome. I can't wait to pick up one of these.

This comes out of nowhere. I kinda thought that we might never even see Elspeth again. But now that I see this, well, I wouldn't be surprised to see her again in Mirrodin.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first "allied" colored duel decks (not including PvC, since that was Black vs. Multicolored). Interesting but weird pairing. Still, I'll pick up a couple since it's a good excuse to pick up Elspeths and Tezzerets.
Seds, I know you sometimes get insider info so I'd appreciate if you in particular would not be coy. Are you saying you heard about Elspeth in M11 from "sources" or are you just hoping she's in/prefer her to Ajani and thus think she should be in/etc.

Elspeth supposedly rotates a month later.
But she is probably in M11 too.

I'm pre-ordering mine!
EDIT: Also lost in this, maybe good artifacts in Tezzert's deck? Maybe not Mind Stone good but (dare I say in pure speculation), Sol Ring good?

You can find me on MTGO. My username is gereffi.
holy crumbs this is so exciting for me.. I wonder if it'll be the new tezzeret that nicol bolas has shaped?
oh boy I cannot wait!!
It rotates out of Standard, barring an M11 reprint, a month after this releases. So does Tezzeret. It should go down somewhat anyway.
Call me when they do this with Jace....the good one.
Some people just love Jace a little too much
Hell, yeah! Buying at least two of these for sure. Here's to hoping that Elspeth is in M11, so the low price will actually matter.

Still, interesting.
Uhh, M11 will crash the price on Elspeth first....

I must have missed it. Where is it confirmed that Elspeth is in M11 instead of Ajani?
