What do the SoM preview cards do? I would really like to know. They both sound like they do cool stuff. Love that mishra's factory has new art and love that there are two STP in the deck they are making these duel decks MUCH MUCH better. I think they realized after Divine vs Demonic that people don't want to pay 30 bucks for an Akroma and Demonic Tutor. Haha. Sounds good, try to find out what the two SoM cards do and try and get us a picture of the Mishra's Factory!

The lists are pretty good- mostly because Elspeth makes up for a lot of the cost in the decks, and there's a couple of useful other cards scattered in.

I was really hoping there might be a Sol Ring...
2 S-Words is awesome though. The Factory is exciting and the Planeswalkers themselves are a great deal of course.
Sure, Crusade seems nice as a throwback (and in modern frames!)...but aside from that, I don't really understand why they included it over Honor of the Pure. Ah well...the 2x StP is a nice surprise.
Very excited to get my paws on this - decklists are looking great / new arts superb / mysterious SoM cards are mysterious.
As I do not have experience playing with some of these cards, I would like to get a feeling from the honourable forum members as to how well balanced these decks are against each other.
Also - big thanks out to the Captain for wrapping this up nicely - you rock.
Demonic Tutor was in a duel deck. Its on old powerful $10 uncommon just like Sol Ring.
It could of happend.
While you have a point, Many, MANY people list Sol Ring as being the most powerful card ever printed. The likelyhood that we're going to see it again outside of special instances is limited.

I know. I just need about 20 of them. Dream big world!! Dream big!!!
I am rather disappointed with the decklist for Elspeth. Outside of Elspeth herself and the swords to plowshares, there really isn't any cards I would run. Even for casual decks.
Cha-☺☺☺☺ing-ching. I actually think the blue list is better, but I can see both being pretty good. Wondering why they couldn't put something better than a glory seeker in white considering all the better common bears that white has, but w/e, the rares alone are worth it, and the new art Swords, if I buy two of em I will finally have my first set of StP in 8 years since I sold my last large collection. And black bordered with better art, gotta love it. Still might buy 3-4 for the full walker sets and Mishra's Factory, etc.

Meh, I don't like the new art on Swords, but really surprised to see 2 of them in there. Hopefully this will get some people playing Legacy with budget decks.
Overall, the lists are, ok? Still like Tezzeret's much better.

Sol Ring is in the Relics box. It would've felt awkward to have it in both.

Kind of odd though that tezz seemingly only gets one new art besides himself when Elspeth gets two other than herself.EDIT: Thirst for knowledge is Tezz's other alt art. Had to edit that to not look really stupid.
You know...that pic would make a nice avvy, Cap'n.
2x Swords is a surprise, yes. Nice they balanced it w/the TfK's too.

I just bought two 4th edition factories for my Landstill deck...might have to upgrade in a few weeks to the new artwork. BB >> WB, always.

2 alternate art spells/permanents without the walker in them
The only PW DD to have all alternate art cards with the PW in them is JvC.
I remember now that Foil was in the Tezz deck in the previous thread. I can't recall the other, though. If I find it quickly, I'll post it here.
EDIT: Even CaptainBlack's list is off by 1, so that's apparently all we know until he fills in the last gap.
Overall, the lists are, ok? Still like Tezzeret's much better.
