In yet another installment of Bang for Your Buck, I’m going to review the recently spoiled Ajani Vengeant vs Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Duel Decks. Unfortunately, beyond the great new alternate artwork on the aforementioned planeswalkers, these decks really are nothing to get excited about. Besides giving Boros players easy access to Vengeant and Grixis EDH players easy access to a previously rather difficult planeswalker to obtain, there are very few cards in these decks even worth mentioning. I would hardly consider $20 worth what’s actually in these decks.
Ajani has an interesting contigent of Naya cards in his deck, with Wild Nacatl, Qasali Pridemgte, and Ajani’s Pridemate all included in the deck. There’s also a Lightning Helix. But beyond that, there’s nothing incredibly special that’s worth any sort of money.
Nicol Bolas on the other hand at least has Cruel Ultimatum working for him. There’s a Profane Command, Deep Analysis, and Countersquall included, as well. None of these are money cards, though.
As for playability, they’re probably fairly fun decks to play, but there’s nothing really here that you’ll run in any sort of competitive deck. As far as “Bang for Your Buck” is concerned, they’re not really worth it besides the cover cards. There’s just too much jank in these decks to really be worth it. I just don’t think they’re worth the money beyond curiosity – if you want the planeswalkers they’ll be more easily available as singles.
