I would guess for a higher quality of reprint. The last two have been extremely disappointing in the value department.
I hope that isn't the case, because they could easily have a $20 deck with $30 worth of value and after it comes out that value will be at $20. If all this does is a making that already under par product line even more under par by making it cost $5 more than I wouldn't be surprised when they get rid of this product series.

Well, once upon a time, in a magical land far away, the good wizard released decks that had $50, $60, or even $80 of value in a $20 product. But then the good wizard died, and the bad wizard started cutting the value to be greedy. Now the townsfolk get to guess if the new price is the glorious return of the good wizard, or the bad wizard stepping up his evil ways.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.

Oh I remember those times, when they didn't think of the secondary market when making a product, but they do have a lot to make up for. Conspiracy 2 was a great step in the right direction, but they still have quite some work to do.
There are 10 creature tokens inside the Mind vs. Might Duel Decks. Not a big info because there are hundreds of different token-creating cards, but it's at least something.
Have tokens been included recently in Duel Decks? I haven't bought any since Anthologies.

Yeah, since Elves vs. Goblins. So all of the modern ones.
I think you guys are way overthinking it. It's going to be UB vs RG, Wizards vs Warriors. There's actually a lot of decent Warriors in Gruul colors but everyone thinks of the Orzhov Warriors due to Khans. Dimir Wizards opens up the possibility for some mill cards which is pretty fitting for a "Mind" themed deck, but they won't add too many. Just enough for a small alternate win condition or maybe some way to benefit from milling.

-I hope you are wrong since the tribal deck are really not imaginative, I refer to them as "Synergy on Rails".
-But in case you're right, Wizards showed us that Warriors are more White and Black , also Wizards look more UR for "Prowess" or instant/sorcery anythinginvolved .
That was only in Khans block. There are plenty of RG Warriors out there..
Alright here is how the Warrior Tribe color identity looks from Magic Origins onwards.
W - 3 U - 0 B - 10 R - 19 G - 17 GU - 1 WG - 1 BG - 1 RG - 2 WB - 1
is still core to the identity, but barely. If you take the three highest of the color combination for a tribe in this manner, it is Jund (BGR) which is the same as the larger scale version.
Honestly this reminds me of another poster whose post I was reading a couple days ago. Who explained it in a similar manner, that I'm borrowing from, when it was about Crocodiles and Hounds when their was speculation if the Crocodile God was or and the Jackal God was the other color. What they demonstrated was that Crocodiles are at their core and if brought into 3-color tribe they are Sultai (BUG). Also that Hounds are predominately and as a 3-color tribe they are Naya (WRG).
With those as the face cards and the extra pricing looks like this might be a hard pass. They'd need to do something like have ancestral vision to go along with the suspend.
So I predict a return to Dominaria, with a Mishra's Bauble reprint. Take a look at Jhoira's lore and tell me she's not essentially Dominaria incarnate. Lovisa is also from Dominaria. New players coming to the game want to look up who these folks are, they get 100% of Dominaria's backstory.
I think that we could see Visions in here. The face cards are nothing and they often put a solid item in there. Yes Remand is not as big a deal as Ancestral but they have to put it somewhere. They crammed tons of value in MM17 so who knows. And after they unbanned it they had to have a plan to get it out there.
By that logic, we could get any of the Origins Planeswalkers facing themselves.
