No chance cryptic command and mana leak get printed in here IMO
And the next duel deck for theros will most certainly be Xenagos vs Elspeth. Unless for some reason they want to push Kiora.
I don't see why mana leak can't be reprinted. It isn't the most ridiculously powerful card, its just good. (and they're reprinted good cards before in duel decks - isochron scepter, life from the loam, figure of destiny)

I wasn't saying mana leak won't get printed, in fact I'd rather they print it there than in a standard set, I was saying both mana leak AND cryptic command would not be printed in the same duel deck. I wasn't very clear though.

I just don't see them making Jace's deck have any other color aside from blue. It seems very fitting to be only blue. With that being said, I could see Cryptic Command being reprinted, honestly. Yeah, it's really good and expensive, but it's not like Tarmogoyf. It's something that they could put in a Duel Deck that both casual and competitive players would enjoy.
Deck should actually have Remand. Cryptic was in MM so there's some supply, its just kept high because its a rare. But remand being a $7 card is just ridiculous. One copy of remand should be fine here.
Ahem $7? Have you seen Remand in the last decade? I don't think it's been that low in years.
Realistically he should only be unblockable without equipment
Guard 1: There goes a sword floating down the street!
Guard 2: Well, he's unblockable, so ignore it.
Eat your greens kids, omnath does, and it makes him strong....
remand is $15 because it only has the original and the FNM print. it needs a reprint, and being an original ravnica block card, this duel deck is actually quite fitting.
cryptic is too valuable to print in a duel deck.
also, being a ravnica based DD, it would make more sense to be 2 colour, and that will likely be UW.

I love Igor's art especially on cards like Geist of Saint Traft and Infinite Reflections but I don't like the art that he did for this. I'm sorry but it looks like the style you were going for just didn't work.
That being said I don't see we'll see a remand reprint in a low print run supplemental product if they want to lower it's price for Modern. Not only that but because Wizards has said time and again that they don't feel that countermagic is fun for new players so I doubt we'll see it back in a core or expert level set.
Why would a card's value prevent it from being in a Duel Deck? How is that at all a relevant factor?
look at the history of duel decks and the value printed in them at the time of printing, especially the recent prints.
you get 2x 60 card decks for an MSRP of $20
why would they reprint a $30 eternal card that was just reprinted 9 months ago?
and before you say jace is $20-30, he's a standard card that is rotating out in 9 months and has seen prices as low as $8 since his printing in RTR.
it's wishful thinking for a card that has no ties to ravnica, is a high value eternal card, and barely has even a remote tie to jace himself. it makes more sense to reprint an inflated-due-to-availability card that has a lower starting value with ties to the plane that the duel deck centers around.

Because Wizards seems to believe third party card-sellers are the lifeblood of magic, ignoring the fact that the price of playing is absurd:
1000$ for modern, 400 for standard and 1500$ upwards for legacy?
It's CARDBOARD!!! Pieces of PAPER!
In any case:
IS the card a planeswalker?
>If YES:
>>Is it likely to be worth more than 20$ in the future?
>>>If yes: Don't print it for DD
>>>If no: Consider printing it for DD
>If NO:
>>Is it worth more than 5$?
>>>If yes: Don't print it for DD
>>>If no: Consider printing it for DD

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, there will also be a lot who reply saying "Magic is an expensive hobby," "don't be cheap," and so on so forth.
It's common sense. All three of those are rare, they're all non-creature and they're all multicolor. We'll be lucky to get one. Especially since Wizards has been focusing so much on creatures. If I had to pick one, I'd suspect Decay.
I'd expect Vraska's deck to be mostly a Salvage deck, though that doesn't rule out any other black or green creatures that might work well (both dredge and those that work with +1/+1 counters)

You do realize that when Jace's Duel Deck came out, those 2 cards weren't nearly as valuable as they are now, yes?
Have all of them.

No I do not sir. That being said I don't think cryptic command was as expensive when Jace's first duel deck came out.
Ok ok, what about swords to plowshare and merisha factory.
Fine I know, Im drawing blanks. Nothing in duel decks has ever really been over $20 besides planeswalkers, the rest are roughly $5 and lower...
