So would it be 5 color vs monoblack? If so, I can't help but wonder how they can they plan on balancing them seeing how most of the Phyrexian stuff I can remember off the top of my head was pretty agressive.
Do a lot of people buy these things? I've never been even remotely interested in them... what's the appeal, exactly?
Yes. Yes yes, this is a cash cow. They're pre-cons which aren't stuck to the current block. They're incredibly popular with casual/new players. This will rope in a lot of nostalgic Invasion-era types (when I was in middle school and just starting magic). I'm a definite buyer.

I'll be getting this. I hope the actual Yawgmoth card gets printed here.
Since they haven't ever released Yawgmoth, and I doubt we're returning to Phyrexia in the new future (could be wrong, though), and they never print cards just for duel decks, I highly doubt we'll see Yawgmoth.
Plus, his power was on par with most old PWs; I can't see them making such a powerful character after downgrading PWs in general.

newer Core Sets

What next?
Doesn't affect tournament magic, and noone is forced to buy these soooo...
This dd is weird because it is a blocks' storyline and not a color v color thing. The coalition deck has to be wubrg and the phyrexian one b.
And there are no new cards in duel decks.

Yes. I love them. They have pretty good cards that us poor players cant always afford (Akroma, 'walkers) and are great starting points for building decks. Plus, they fill the void that was left when precons were discontinued (intro packs SUCK).
Since Garruk vs Liliana was filed at the end of April, does that mean we can expect this to come out sometime around March? Is there always the same sized gap between patent and release date?

I have no problem with wizards having cash cows, and I don't figure you should...the more money they make, the longer they can keep making us Magic. As long as they're not destroying their own fan base with their releases (these don't affect tournament legality or the Restricted list), they can print money all they like.

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.

Nobody is forcing you to buy any of those. Outside of newer core sets and normal release schedule everything else is for collectors..

For me, old cards in modern frames...although that means I don't actually buy the decks, I just order the singles online.

Between Planechase, FTV: E and Duel Decks: Garruk v. Liliana, I'm relatively pleased with WoTC recent product releases.
