Okay, first of all, hello everyone! It's my first post here.

I'm about to buy my first MtG Dual Deck. My friend bought Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas Dual Deck and I would like to get something similar, something that will fit to this and allow us playing with our decks (for example Ajani vs. one of my decks, or Nicol vs. one of mine). You know, decks which contain Planeswalkers, different mana colors etc. I'm relatively new to Magic, but I really want to get myself my first, complete and fully playable deck.

I was thinking about Venser vs. Koth Dual Deck. Is it a good choice? Or if it's now, what is? I hope you will help! Thanks in advance!

Izzet vs Golgari won't contain any Planeswalkers

here you see an in depth analysis of the Venser and Koth deck

duel decks in general are a good choice for casual play
but keep in mind they are tuned to be played against each other, if you mix them up or bring them against better decks you will be destroyed
they are more about highlighting different themes than being competitive

That's why I want to get one, we ain't pros, we do this for fun. So now I have no idea wether buying Venser vs. Koth, or not.. :P

it's a good buy because it shows you 2 opposite Magic strategies: Aggro vs. Control

Koth's deck is probably the jankiest slowest red deck ever. I've never won before around turn 12 with it. That said, as long as you play the decks against each other they work out fine and are still fun to play with.

well, they can't put a tournament worthy burn deck in a product like this
games that only last 2-3 turns are not much fun

And what about Garruk vs. Lilliana? Or Elspeth vs. Tezzeret?
