Duel Deck: Speed v. Cunning
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

Was cursing the archives on Wizards.com and found this: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1463
What walkers do you think will be in it, if they even will be?
I'm guessing Cunning will be Wizards. If Snapcaster Mage gets a reprint (unlikely I know), then I will officially start investing in Modern.
Speed could be Ninjas, Leonin, maybe just a bunch a hasty creatures?
Cunning could also be Elves, but I hope not because Elves vs Goblins was already done if I'm not mistaken.

"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?"
Looks like barbarians and maybe rebels?

Judging by that quote it seems like cunning is going to be G/x and speed is most likely going to be R/x. Unless I'm mistaken and the creatures ambushing are ninjas if not it seems like a green thing to me.

Steppe Riders and Ambushers are both obviously creatures so I'd be very doubtful if either side is blue unless one is Simic.

I think that speed will either be Red/White or Red/Black and that cunning will be black/blue or black/green.

it would be a bummer if the Cunning deck doesnt have: Cunning Wish

I believe that cunning will at least have blue and speed red.

Maybe have Venser, Shaper Savant or Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir as the foil mythic rare?

"Outflanked"
It would almost make sense if they brought back Flanking to give to Cunning's creatures.

That would be an interesting way to sneak a preview card from Khans of Tarkir into the decklist.

A fast Aggro deck for speed(RB, GR, or Mono Red) with a Ninja deck( PLEASE LORD PLEASE) for cunning(UB, mono Blue)

Fulcrum how would speed be ninjas? Ninjas are only BU(mainly U) and if anything they would be cunning Ninjas(in real life) preferred stealth and deception and disliked killing and aggression as it gave evidence that they were there. Also how would elves be cunning? All elves in MTG are green and prefer brute force and sheer numbers rather than deviant tactics to gain the upper hand.

@Rejex: Mechanically, you are correct. Historically, however, elves are incredibly intelligent, usually strategic, and always cunning. Even if they never outright lie, they twist the meaning of words to suit their own agenda.

Ah I see what you mean. You aren't talking about mtg elves, you're talking about Traditional elves. Ones that are wise and live forever. Not the short lived. wild elves of magic.
