The greatest knights have gathered together to once and for all end the reign of terror that has plagued their lands for centuries. Holy paladins, noble cavaliers, and swift skyhunters all answer the call to hunt dragons to the death and restore order to the realm.
For dragonkind, the answer is simple—incinerate the invaders! Enraged goblin minions pour from the mountain crags to repel the intruders, but that’s only to give the majestic hellkites time to take to the skies and unleash a firestorm that no knight could hope to survive.
A world hangs in the balance. Will you enter the battle under the banner of purity and order or will you plunge the land into chaos and dragonfire?

I'm on the side of the dragons.. knights have nothing on us firebreathers... Hopefully there are some decent dragons and knights tho... I'm sure that Exemplar will be in the knights deck.. probably alongside that kithkin that gives knights doublestrike.
i hope the art for that previewd is an awesome dragon...

I find it odd to give Dragons yet another promo showing. There are still plenty of other duel deck avenues to explore. I suppose Dragons are popular fantasy staples.
Knights rallying to fight a dragon is the pinnacle fantasy setting. I like this quite a lot and can't wait to see what awesome cards come out of the woodwork for this set. Knight Exemplar and Silver Knight, are almost shoe-ins, but who knows what else we'll be seeing.
Hopefully they go a multi-colored route with the dragons deck and not a mono-red theme. I guess the same could be said for the knight deck not being mono-white.
How many rares do each of these decks usually have? Because almost every dragon is a rare, while knights run the rarity span, so that worries me. I'm sure Dragonspeaker Shaman will be in there.
If Hunted Dragon isn't in this then this set is a lie.
That said, this is one of the most resonant, flavorful duel decks we've ever had. This doesn't only appeal to the storyline buffs, but to the magic and fantasy community at large. I'm really excited.
Honestly what I'm hoping for with this is that they make Knights a W/G build so that Knight of the Reliquary could fill the Foil Mythic spot, because honestly, it is really the only Knight I can think that even deserves to fill that spot.
Dragons no doubt will be mono-red. As for the fact that almost all dragons are Rare, the descriptions hints that goblins help the dragons out, so I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-of Dragon fodder, and little goblin filler like that. And Dragon Whelp. Cannot forget the Whelp.
I really love the symbol for this. This is probably going to be one of the coolest duel decks ever. Dragons are awesome, Knights are awesome, and this should then be awesome.
Nice visual Wru. Sells me completely on that being Bogarden Hellkite. I'm looking forward to this set. Would be sweet to see the 5 Kamigawa Dragons reprinted in this.

The preview art looks like Bogardan Hellkite to me.

This is the first card I thought of when I saw this, it just makes too much sense

I would hope so. I'm curious if they will be mono colored or multicolored.
Thanks to Spiderboy4 of High~light Studios for the awesome sig.

Nice eye. The mouth and tail are the strongest indicators. Pic added for comparison.
I love Wizards, too. But not the card-creature type.
