Happy Monday MTG peeps,
Wow, what a weekend for Magic: the Gathering players worldwide. First off, we want to extend a huge thank-you to the very capable / amazing WotC staffer Alison Luhrs (MTG Community Manager) who provided a blur / barrage of real time tweets as live coverage of the MTG Panel at the San Diego Comic Con was not available due to 'technical difficulties'. Fav quote on this absence of service from Evan Erwin (who cracks up every time). Anywhoos, there was a massive volume of previews and teasers during the MTG Panel on Saturday during the San Diego Comic Con -
• Khans of Tarkir,
• From The Vault: Annihilation,
• Duel Decks: Speed vs. Cunning,
• Duel Decks, Anthology, and
• Commander 2014
We'll be rather busy for at least the next two weeks going over all the new material but for today's post on the MTG Realm blog, we want to yatter a bit about the announced Duel Decks' Anthology product. This new product which is to be expected to be released on or about December 12, 2014. Duel Decks' Anthology is to be a compilation set that combines the first four Duel Decks all provided with the new card frames. Now the big question is on many gamer's minds is exactly what is meant by 'combined'. To many, this means all eight 60-card theme decks (or 480 cards) from each of the Duel Decks in one product :
• Jace vs. Chandra (2008)
• Divine vs. Demonic (2009)
• Garruk vs. Liliana (2009)
We would love to get a hold of this product when it comes out, or at the very least get a variety of card singles from MTG Mint Card. Should this be the full monty of all eight decklists what would be a reasonable manufacturer suggested retail price - sixty bucks, eighty bucks, who knows? As soon as we did read this tweet / announcement, we could imagine the big retailers groaning as their sealed product took a hit (maybe). Here are the very rough values of the sealed Duel Deck products from just before the Duel Decks' Anthology announcement which we will revisit in another month or so :
Jace vs. Chandra ~ $150
Divine vs. Demonic ~ $175
Garruk vs. Liliana ~ $50
Stay tuned to latter posts on MTG Realm as we play catch-up on all the very exciting announcements including our postulations / speculations on the next Duel Deck - Speed vs. Cunning, due to be released on 5th September, 2014. Until then, happy gaming everyone!

are the cards going to be legal out side the duel decks. if not this will grately effect there msrp
Most Certainly - Special products such as Duel Decks, From the Vault, Premium Deck Series, etc., should never affect a card's format legality from what I understand as long as the normal printing for that card is legal to play in that given format.
