It's vengeance versus guile to decide the fate of a shattered plane.
The leonin Ajani Goldmane scours the shards of Alara with a single thought in mind: revenge.
Filled with rage at the murder of his brother, Jazal, Ajani searches for his killer. Leaving no stone
unturned, his wrath grows along with his power as a Planeswalker, leading him to an ultimate
showdown with the Multiverse's master manipulator.
Nicol Bolas is beginning to feel effects of the eons of time and knows it will take the mana of an
entire plane to rejuvenate his ancient power and set his new schemes in motion. As he expertly
maneuvers the pieces of his interplanar game into place, he encounters an indomitable will bent
on retribution.
The battle of Alara's Maelstrom is in your hands. Determine the fate of an entire plane and the
outcome of an epic conflict between two rival Planeswalkers.

Its at least going to be WR vs. UBR, but probably Naya colors.
Yup, the art shows that Ajani will be in his Vengeant form, and Ajani the character can use green mana as well (he's the one casting Soul's Majesty, Soul's Flame, and the rest of that mini-cycle). Access to green in the duel deck will make mana and ramp much easier and give him access to all sorts of Naya goodies.
Nyarlathotep must all things be told
for he is the messenger between the spheres
and the traveler between the realms of the living and the dead.
He shall summon forth the ancient ones
and wake them from their deathly slumber
then shall the elder signs be shattered. Trade Thread
Imageshack is banned in China...and I think MTGS should ban it too. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, ATTACH! (or use imgur).
/not backseat mod-ing. Just nagging. This happens to me almost daily here. I just want to see the pictures.
if you consider the vengence theme going on here is most likely vengence which i prefer being the harder of the two to get another 20 dollar duel deck well worth its price ;P

SonofaBith - Wizards was so excited about making the packaging for Modern Masters 2 recyclable, they decided to make most of the rares and all but 1 of the UC's recycle-bin ready too. Convenient!
Really though, does this have any real connection to the story? Wasn't Bolas a match for ALL of the Alara 'walkers?
Edit: I am dumb, and should not simply say things without having any actual background for them. Those who berated me were right to do so. *slink away*
well it seems ajani just plain has powers that match well against bolas and tis a fairly good fight *at least it was in the story line* but still 20 bucks for alt art foil vengent and nicol is awesome *plus hopefully some cool stuff like paths :p*

Very interested in seeing how this one turns out. And really hoping Bolas's deck is better than "Eons of Evil" on Duels of the Planeswalkers. -_-

Ajani Goldmane is the current Ajani, Ajani Vengeant is before and during his conflict with Bolas.
for he is the messenger between the spheres
and the traveler between the realms of the living and the dead.
He shall summon forth the ancient ones
and wake them from their deathly slumber
then shall the elder signs be shattered.

Alternate art Cruel Ultimatum.
Some people just love Jace a little too much
Will definitely buy unless overpriced. Will reserve one or two probably.

It also says Nicol Bolas but somehow I think Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is much more likely don't you?
In the Alara block novel, Ajani fought Bolas one on one. The other walkers didn't enter into direct conflict with him.
