well, that's what they were designed for, so yeah, I played a decent number of duels with all the DDs I bought. Of course they all wound up cannibalized in the end, but since I already paid for the balancing efforts that wizards (sometimes) put into those, I might as well enjoy a quick game or two. I still marvel at the nearly perfect design of JvC, those games were intense.
edit: that actually gives me some hoe for KvV, because the general setup is probablyrather similar. Red aggro versus (somewhat) creature-based control.
To mix things up a bit, seems like Wizards would pit UW aggro vs Big Red instead of vice versa.

I know A is the best dual but does it seem even in price to you?
Her art really looks renaissance-ish as an aside.

I am thinking sell but things are so uncertain right now.
If they are indeed reprinted in M13 or the fall set, their price may very well drop to Zen fetch levels.
It can pump inkmoths..
But yeah, kitchen finks is equal in value to a fetch now? Crazy!

What do you think long-term?
Like. Lol.
I wonder how this works flavor-wise though. Rootwallas and darkthicket wolves pouncing are one thing, but a caged human??
