About Rivals' Duel

Rivals' Duel, Sorcery, designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai first released in Feb, 2008 in the set Morningtide and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.60.

A deck that focuses on creature removal and controlling the board would benefit from including Rivals' Duel, as it provides a targeted way to eliminate two opposing creatures simultaneously. While Rivals' Duel is a decent option for such a deck, there are potentially better alternatives like Mizzium Mortars or Anger of the Gods that offer more flexibility or additional benefits. Whether Rivals' Duel should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's being considered for.
