Template:Expansion Duel Decks: Venser vs. Koth is the ninth set in the Duel Decks series. It was released on March 30, 2012 and contains two pre-constructed theme decks. The MSRP is $19.99.
Contents
Venser vs. Koth contains two 60-card decks consisting of reprints from throughout Magic’s history, and two new emblem cards, one for each Planeswalker's last ability.
Storyline
Venser vs. Koth is based on the novel The Quest for Karn, which tells the story of the Scars of Mirrodin block.
The Planeswalker Koth, from the metal plane of Mirrodin, sought help when his world darkened. He traveled to Dominaria to enlist allies and met fellow Planeswalker Venser.
When Venser recognized the threat to Koth's world was none other than Phyrexia, he knew that the only hope for Mirrodin was to find its maker. But that would mean forsaking its people in the meantime.
Koth would rather die than turn his back on his fellow Mirrans. But Venser all but knew they would die anyway if they failed to reach Karn, his former mentor and creator of Mirrodin.
Two Planeswalkers, one goal, very different methods. Recreate the struggle to lead the way to Mirrodin’s salvation.[citation needed]
