    Announcing: Duel Deck: Batman vs the Joker 1049_logo_mz9sdrzvkm

    On the world of Innistrad, humans have always been pawns. For the mighty vampire families, humans are the source of blood and the foundation of their power. For the werewolf packs, humans are prey. For the ghouls and ghosts of the plane, humans are reminders of lives gone by, the despised living to be hunted and terrified. And for demons and devils, humans are targets for their hatred and torment.

    Sorin was among the first generation of vampires created on Innistrad. He saw how his kind spread over the plane, feeding on and ultimately diminishing the populace. He argued for restraint, but the other vampire families resented his intrusion. Unknown to his kin, however, Sorin was a Planeswalker. He traveled the Multiverse searching for a solution to the grave situation on his home plane. Ultimately, he created the archangel Avacyn, a protector that would watch over the humans of Innistrad and serve as the symbol of hope. Thousands of years later, Innistrad is still afflicted with monstrous creatures, but thanks to Sorin’s intervention, the Avacynian Church continues to lend its protection to the world’s humans.

    The fiendish mage Tibalt was born human, but immediately showed a predilection for inflicting pain. When a dark invocation caused his essence to be merged with infernal devils of Innistrad, his Planeswalker spark was ignited. He was free to traverse the Multiverse looking for new unfortunates to torment, but the innocent people of his native Innistrad were always his favorite victims.

    Sorin, with his long-sighted, vampiric perspective, knows that humanity may lose its tenuous grip on survival if Innistrad’s monstrous forces hunt too recklessly. The young pain-mage Tibalt, on the other hand, respects no authority but his own vicious whims. As they clash, neither will tolerate anything but the utter defeat of his foe. Who will prevail is up to you.

    But looks so bad. D:
    Tiablt is going to be the same as he is, just with new art right?
    Sorin, what version? Lord of Innastrad if anything most likely.

    See, I like Lord of Innistrad for his flavor and actual utility, but...Tibalt is god-awful. At least Chandra has nuking potential.

    Tibalt was only used as junk tech in Commander if you're on a budget.
    What do you expect.

    I would've laughed if it was Tamiyo versus someone else, but there's no one for her to legitimately face off against, iirc.

    Chandra wasn't even in Innistrad...O_o?

    And Sorin had no reason to fight Tamiyo could have crossed paths with her...But Tibalt is a menace to his homeplace so it makes sence...

    Also for once...Instead of Thinking about the crappy card Tibalt is Let's think WHAT goodies can BW vs Mono RED Devils something can have

    Vindicate?
    Mortify?
    Insurrection?
    Some Fire/Diabolic Stuff for Tibalt

    No one effects or has reason to harm Tamiyo, vice-versa, so it wouldn't have really mattered.

    Eeeeexactly.

    Also, I know Chandra wasn't in Innistrad. I was making reference to other Duel Decks sets.

    You Know that they have been slowly making PW DDs weaker while Strengthning non PWs Ones...

    Also like Venser vs Koth this DD is a Farewell to the last year's Block so I'm fine if they follow that path...

    So...despite Sorin doing absolutely nothing in the Innistrad block apart from loling around and hoping Avacyn appears (and Liliana ends up doing it anyway, by accident), he manages to find time to clash with Tibalt?

    what is this i don't even

    Still, the set symbol is amazing.

    Though, imagine if Tibalt gets Bonfire of the Damned :O

    Which is why I firmly believe they won't add it.

    They might add Slagstorm, which would be awesome <3

    The thing is, no matter what cards Tibalt gets, Sorin will get the better Duel Deck.
