Battle Heroes and Monsters with New MtG Duel Deck
August 20, 2013 by dracs
This Autumn plainswalkers will be stepping into the world of Theros, a plain formed of Greek legend. This September we will be able to explore this world further as Wizards of the Coast prepare to release the next duel deck; Heroes vs Monsters!
Much of Greek mythology revolves around great heroes and their struggles against vicious and powerful monsters. This duel deck set epitomises these struggles.
The Heroes of Theros are found in a red/white deck.
The cards in the deck provide you with some very nice options for agro play, while supporting and backing one another up in true white mana style.
And when you're facing monsters like this you certainly need that help.
The Monsters deck is Red/Green, so already you know to expect some serious agro from it.
Cards like Satyr Hedonist here allow you to quickly generate mana in times of need, meaning you can quickly cast spells when least expected.
These two decks hold a lot of promise and have some pretty nice cards in them. They also provide us with an intriguing insight into the plain of Theros. I am sure plenty of my fellow plainswalkers will be looking forward to these decks appearing in September.
Would you side with heroes or command the monsters?

As a sidenote, yeah the cards you get in these decks do look pretty interesting and nice (there is even a Figure of Destiny in there). Money wise, it is a pretty good deal considering what some of those cards go for individually. Generally, I don’t think you can go wrong if you get any of the recent duel / event / or even intro decks that come out with each set especially if you are… Read more »
Ah must have been a senior moment of a glimpse into the future!
My money is on the former for some reason! lol
My intro into MTG was a Dual Deck which allowed my daughter and I to get going straight off the bat. They are good value imho She then went out and got an event deck with the same faction! She hasn’t stopped whipping my butt at Magic since! 🙁
*or* not of a glimpse into the future.
Another senior moment!
These are rather nice for casual play but against well build competive decks these get decimated very fast.
