My gf and I got this and yeah, Elspeth is dominant. We also got the box set with the original 8 duel decks and have been playing them against each other. Elves vs Elspeth has been particularly fun, and Kiora smacked around Angels. Because I'm a huge dork I've been keeping an excel spreadsheet of the matchups
I just picked these up this weekend and I was all excited to see my gorgeous new Mother of Runes .. and .... it wasn't there. D: Seriously. Elspeth's deck had 58 cards (plus 2 Soldier tokens, plus Elspeth). It wasn't in Kiora's deck either. Guess I'm calling WOTC Customer Support.

I really hope that Mother of Runes art doesn't go to waste in a duel deck forever. It would make a gorgeous foil.
The artwork is better than the old Mother of Runes but it is still terrible. I don't get why people like nielsens stuff so much. Did you see the full art basics she did? Disgusting. This isn't any better.
I hope you're trolling, 'cause you just rustled my jimmies something fierce.

I wouldn't be angry about this. Every dealing I've had with them has been super over the top. I always get my card back and then some.
Once, they sent me a foil Godless Shrine because some I opened some cheapy promo card with a bent corner.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but excellent things about their customer service. I'm just bummed because I want dat Nielsen Mom NOW.

These decks really are quite uninspired.
I got one while visiting Japan for the Japanese Planeswalkers
(and because the exchange rate made it cost less than $15),
and it still somehow feels underwhelming-
I guess cards like Scourge of Fleets and Precinct Captain are unimpressive no matter the language
I'll echo that no emblems was a bad call- Kiora kraken tokens are cool and all,
but Commander 2014 made those much easier to obtain cheaply.
These arts would work well on emblems.
At least I got some Perfect Size sleeves for ~$1.50/pack-
that was something genuinely worth buying there!
