OH. YES.
Ajani Vengeant vs. Nicol Bolas !!!
don't believe me? this will allay your fears: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/652
I'm 99% sure its going to be Ajani Vengeant by the story behind the duel deck and the picture, obviously
but anyway, I'm thinking its going to be Red/White Ajani deck vs. Grix Colors Bolas Deck?
very awesome.
correction, two of your favorite planeswalkers in two separate decks.

This is exciting and all, and I know that they'll make two more-or-less evenly balanced decks. But from a story standpoint, isn't this incredibly one-sided?
Ajani is a leonin who (at the time he's Ajani Vengeant) has just discovered his spark.
Bolas, meanwhile, is a freaking Elder Dragon who's had his spark for millennia - even if it did weaken with the mending - he was victorious in the elder dragon wars, he's ruled an empire, he bested even Teferi in a duel, and he's the evil mastermind behind a number of interplanar schemes.
Story-wise, I don't see how Ajani would even stand a chance.

its not like Ajani is going to die and be wiped off the face of the planet.
we already know on account of his Ajani Goldmane card that he survives and becomes better.
but yes, it is incredibly one sided because Bolas is pretty OP

Can this mean we might see a reprint in M12? I hadn't come back when those we're in Standard, it'd be nice to have them, specially Ajani.

I honestly don't know what the situation is when it comes to the planeswalkers in the upcoming Core Set.
there are too many things to think of, since i highly doubt WOTC will come out with entirely new Planeswalkers for the Core Set.
wait....there is a way.
they could bring back the PWs from the Zendikar Block; Gideon, Sorin, Nissa, and Sarkhan for the Core Set, in preparation for the entirely new block coming in October
which could possibly be set in Ravnica since Gideon went there. And Nissa is searching for Sorin at the moment, so her travels could take her to Ravnica. And Bolas, being the evil genius that he is, sends his other agent, Sarkhan, to Ravnica. something like that.

Hope they do reprint them, some at least. Should be fun playing around with a WR deck aroundAjani Vengeant & Koth of the Hammer .
They might reprint the ones you mentioned. All of M11's PWs are from Lorwyn if im not mistaken. Maybe most in M12 will be Zenikar.

They're unlikely to print Ajani Vengeant in the core sets; they like to keep those monocolored. Simpler for new players that way.

i don't think they'll be printing Ajani Vengeant in a core set either.
he's already Ajani Goldmane within the storyline, it doesn't make sense to bring the younger version of him back again.
ALTERNATE, FOIL ART FROM THIS DUEL DECK SERIES SHOULD BE SWEET THOUGH :D

they already confirmed that the lorwyn walkers are in m12 theyve show two pieces of art of chandra already: her and her pheonix

I expect this to happen (I think they're going to use these five as their standard stable of PWs for quite a while) but I would appreciate knowing where you got that information, as well, schmity. And how reliable said source is. =p

the phoenix was shown at some grand prix a while back
and they showed chandra on daily mtg here's the link http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/616

There goes the price of Nicol Bolas Foils... Sigh. On the other hand I want to see if they are going to re-intro Pentad Prism for Nicol Bolas's deck.
