Duel Decks: Speed vs. Cunning is the 14th set in the Duel Decks series. It was released on September 5, 2014, with an MSRP of US$19.99.[3] These are the first Duel Decks released with M15 card frames.[4]
Description
The two decks each represent an aspect from the dragon, matching the clans Mardu and Jeskai from Tarkir.[5] They contained six preview cards for Khans of Tarkir.
Apart from that, only five cards received new artwork: Arcanis the Omnipotent, Repeal, Goblin Bombardment, Infantry Veteran and Fleshbag Marauder,[6] with only three more cards — Reckless Abandon, Echo Tracer and Lightning Angel — printed in a modern frame for the first time. Zurgo Helmsmasher also had different art than the one that would be released in Khans of Tarkir later.
The Duel Deck includes a Magic "learn to play" guide, a strategy insert, and two copies of a 1/1 red goblin token.
Background
Racing across the blazing steppe, the wave of attackers crests the barren hills. Nothing can stop their reckless advance. These warriors live fast, fight hard, and strike terror into the hearts of those in their path. The scarred countryside seems abandoned. Then, suddenly, hidden fighters spring from ambush. The overconfident enemy recoils in surprise, outflanked and outsmarted. Who will prevail, the swift or the sly?
