I buy dual decks solely to tear them apart. THe Koth deck is nice for Koth and Torchling alone.

And what about Garruk vs. Lilliana? Or Elspeth vs. Tezzeret?
they're both fun to play against each other
as I said, you can't really go wrong with duel decks, they are fun to play, showcase lots of different cards and strategies
choose the one where you like the flavour the best

Wait for Octobers Izzet VS Golgari as Koth deck is Bad and Vensers deck is Meh.
They have Koth and Venser, though. Actually, the one Koth card I had an issue with was Lithophage  , which goes against your theme. Especially since, without Primeval Titan  to fetch mountains or Sun Titan  to recur mountains popped to Lithophage or killed while they're creatures, Koth's theme isn't very strong.
Come to think of it, what about Koth's first is red? Animate land effects aren't usually red. Land untap can be, but always at a loss.
In Duel Decks, you get weird stuff:
Koth and Venser were on the same side. Just because they play the roles of id and superego doesn't mean they were enemies per se, though Koth seemed to take Goku's "once I beat you, that means we're friends" philosophy to the extreme.
Elspeth and Tezzeret were enemies, but they didn't fight that I can recall. Elspeth and Ajani (and Kresh, and everyone else on the "good" side of Alara) were more worried about Nicol Bolas. It actually ends up looking like Archenemy.
Golgari and Izzet? I don't remember them fighting. I remember the Golgari being part of that weird conspiracy. The Izzet were the only "villain" guild (and even then, not their legends) that weren't in on that conspiracy.
My new option is a two-on-two game: Duet Decks. Koth and Elspeth versus Elesh Norn and Tezzeret.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

Please say this is 1v1 and not 2v2.
I just want to hear that you, literally, shoved different duel decks together and then battled them...

also, ignore Zokorad, he likes to troll
While I do agree that Zok enjoys a good trolling, he is correct. The koth deck is purely, completely, janky, slow, crap.

Thank you everyone for your input, I appreciate that. I have one more question. What's the difference between Magic 2013 Core Set and Avacyn Restored? I was thinking about getting Wild Rush Intro Pack or Angelic Might Intro Pack because both are based on green cards, which I love. And are those Intro Pack any good in building further deck?

they are simply different sets
Intro Decks are not that good
they are more to highlight certain themes and flavors, not about actually winning
if you want a good prebuilt deck get an Event Deck, they are a great start, fairly competitive out of the box and come with tips on how to improve the deck further
