   I loved all the cards in these decks. They are an awesome addition to my collection. Plus I was able to beat both of my nephews with these decks. They have been playing Magic for many years.

   Rip off! Don’t buy from this seller! The Duel Deck we received didn’t include the creature tokens and the Speed Deck wasn’t a deck at all. There was no manna. It included only 56 cards and they were numerous copies of the same 5 cards – not even the cards shown on the box. I have one very upset kiddo this Christmas morning. And the return date has just past so I can’t return it to get another set from a different seller.

   Products came as described and before expected delivery time. I’m a collector of MTG and I’m very excited to have these in my set. Would order from this provider again.

   Ever since I started getting used to Magic this was probably one of my best buys aside from the bulk buy of 500 cards…

   One friend of mine consistently uses the Cunning deck for the power to negate/redirect/etc to turn the game in his favor.
   While I personally enjoy the swarm effect Krenko, Mob Boss brings to the table I’ve won games just by sheer numbers.

   Cunning is made to counter everything Speed has to offer while Speed tries to get out everything it can before it gets stopped.

   If you’ve got even a day of experience playing MTG you should buy this and push comes to shove you switch out cards in either deck to better suit you.

   This was a great way to teach my girlfriend Magic the Gathering!
   Unfortunately, she really liked Goblins. So we broke up.

   Il pacco è arrivato in ottime condizioni, cosa importante per chi è interessato al pezzo per semplice collezione. I mazzi in se sono interessanti soprattutto per chi è interessato a giocarli in combinazione l’uno contro l’altro con un amico o smontarli per assemblare nuovi mazzi, specialmente in formato commander.

   These duel decks are a ton of fun. The first couple of games with my daughter, the speed deck got off to a fast advantage and won easily. But the cunning deck caught up in our third game, making for some good play.

    Imprescindible para todo fan de Magic principiante, aunque los mazos requieren de ciertos reajustes (los tres colores son demasiado lentos dada la calidad de las cartas). El Mardu de Zurgo es perfecto para un deck goblin agresivo de control (rojo-negro), y el de Arcanis defensivo (azul-blanco) centrado en robar cartas a largo plazo (se requiere más inversión para hacerlo efectivo).

    Für Anfänger zu empfehlen, ansonsten sind die Decks aber nicht spielstark.
    Artikel kam unbeschadet an!

    Like the previous reviewer stated, it initially seemed like the Speed deck would outrun Cunning at first. After several games, it’s apparent that the Cunning deck is clearly the stronger, especially if an experienced control player is at the helm.

    The problem seemed to be that Speed relied too much on the strength of the initial hand and setting up an army of goblin tokens, whereas Cunning just focuses on staying alive until they have game winning card advantage. Ironically, the speed deck usually just takes too long to get going. As for the featured cards: if Arcanis shows up, it’s basically over. The same can’t be said for Zurgo. He will be in range of Lightning Helix until he gets buffed at least twice, at which point he can still just be bounced back and countered or locked down, sometimes for the rest of the game.

    That said, still a pretty good buy. Both decks are reasonably fun to play, and introduce players to some of the new mechanics in Khans. The pack also has reprints of some pretty valuable cards if you end up buying it just to gut it. Plus, the new Arcanis art is badass.

    Just got it today and fell in love! The only thing that could be better are the deck boxes. Both boxes are made of flimsy card board. Both decks run great! Great for beginners and intermediates!
