At the end of the clip, you can see 2 cards pictured on the front of the box. They appear to be new alternate artwork for Higure, the Still Wind and Ramirez DePietro.
I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
It'd be a cool idea if both the Ninja and Pirate tribes weren't so mechanically narrow. Unless the Duel Decks produce new cards for both tribes, I doubt this is going to happen.

Underling Ethu's 263rd report read simply "Yes, my lord.Overwhelmingly, my lord." This marked the end of the Mirran-Phyrexian War.
Ha ha, WotC should try this idea out. Lots of people would buy it just for the oddball flavor.

- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice—because he was trying to count how much damage Jon Finkel deals in an average game.
- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.
is this the only gag on the page this year? They have had some sick ones in years past.
As silly as this is, I'd love to see more DuelDecks...even silly ones!
BTW, voted "Townsfok vs. Livestock."

obvious april fools but i love this. Sincerely though, this would probably sell. The concept is hilarious for sure.
So right. I would definitely buy one, and I never buy theme packs or starter decks or anything.

Level 3 Magic Judge
Do you know any judges who always impress you with their work ethic, knowledge, or attitude? Nominate them to be the next Judge of the Week!

The arcana announcement is the April Fools joke. They are announcing that on Sept 18, 2008, they will be releasing another "Duel" deck similar to Elves vs. Goblins and that it will be named Ninjas vs. Pirates. None of the art is loading for me, so I don't know if that is decent yet or not, but it claims to have alternate art for Higure, Mistform Ultimus, Ramirez DePietro, and Mistform Ultimus... again.
Well I can recognize one card as Higure at the end whats the card on the left? Obviously this is probably a joke but just curious what other card would showcase Pirates lol.
Oh already answered!
Yeah if its Ramirez this is an obvious joke that card is soooo horrible. Higure is actually a good card just goes to show how many pirate cards suck in Magic.
Pretty involved for an APril Fool's joke.. of course they usually do a lot. Too bad it wasn't funnier. I can't recognize the pirate legend (it's from Legends) but isn't that different art for Higure (during the box shot at 1:38)?
It is definitely ramirez and higure as speculated by the OP. First strike is clearly visible in the rules text.
I don't know if it's sad or awesome that they aren't really going through with this and that they 'wasted' an idea on a joke because this would SERIOUSLY sell. It'd blow EvG right out of the water. The decklists - pure hilarity.

hah, I wonder how many people actually bought it
Friend, artist, magic player, but most of all, Polar Bear God. We'll miss you, buddy
No, but seriously, you'd think they'd spend more than 2 seconds on their random crap that isn't funny to begin with, eh?

Feel free to bid on my cards here!

And the Pirate card appears to be similar to Jack Sparrow...
no that would be elves vs goblins
Like Ninjas should have plainswalk i guess cause they are to sneaky.
Feel free to bid on my cards here!
Which is exactly while it would.
Ninjas would have shadow.
