New-art reprints that will be in Duel Decks: Heroes vs. Monsters, but probably not in Theros (in the case of Fires of Yavimaya, definitely not in Theros, since Yavimaya is not located on the plane of Theros):
Plus, the full decklists for Duel Decks: Heroes vs. Monsters:
- Jon Finkel Facts: (follow the link at left to see more Facts, or add more Facts!)
- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice—because he was trying to count how much damage Jon Finkel deals in an average game.
- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.

Yay prezzies! Ordeal of Purphoros seems like it'll be naughty in Limited, to me, between pumping a creature AND blasting a critter after it does its thing?
Fires of Yavimaya, Griffin Guide, and Beast Within are all reprints, but I'm fairly certain that the other 7 are Theros cards, as I don't recall ever seeing those before.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
EDH is like French fries: some people like waffle cut, crinkle cut, or plain old straight cut, and while there's slight flavor difference and personal preference, at the end of the day they're still fries.
Polukranos and Mr. (and Mrs.) Hero confirmed. Guess we do get the worst version of Polukranos after all.
Satyr Hedonist is one weird, one-shot mana dork. Just how good is 5 mana on Turn 3 if you lose a guy?
Destructive Revelry looks like it'll go places in Modern. It's like Smash to Smithereens if it could hit enchantments (and was green and did 1 less damage)!
Ordeal of Purphoros implies an interesting direction enchantments will go in Theros. Now I want ones that do something when they go to the graveyard from the battlefield...
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary
Melek, Izzet Paragon

I'm not entirely sure what I think about the Theros preview cards in this duel deck yet. The Pegasus seems like it'll be excellent for Pauper cubes. The art on the Beast Within reprint is amazing, though.

Miraculous Recovery seems amazing. Have an Angel of Serenity in the graveyard, reanimate when your opponent attacks and eat their creatures.
It is a reprint, so that doesn't mean it will be in standard. It is probably just getting new art to fit the theme of the deck (much like sun titan is).

Point of (pointless) reference...we knew about the new boros legend, just not the name.

You played JESUS?!?! I heard none of his guys stay in the graveyard, and once you think you have him beat he ALWAYS comes back to win within three turns. I like...WORSHIP him.

Touche. I wasn't playing back in Visions, and I'd never seen or heard of it before, but you are correct.

When it escaped, the experimenters hesitated. It would cause untold havoc, yet they wished to see it in action.
And long overdue new art for Fires of Yavimaya.
That Ordeal seems pretty neat, as does the Shocking Naturalize.

2. The red aura is just like, giggitty. I dig it.
3. Humans are a tribe again? Mehhh
4. The anti-artifact RG spell's going in at least two of my EDH decks for sure.
I haven't even looked at the reprints yet, but I'm already very satisfied knowing that I preordered this thing last week.

The Pegasus is a little too busy, but eh, it helps with the flying part.
The Ordeal looks nice. Drop it on a creature that already have counters and it becomes a semi [card]Flame Lance[/b] that gives +1/+1 counter. Not bad.
Satyr Hedonist is meh.... the random color requirement is silly.
Destructive Revelry looks good.
