"I can't draft objectively unless I am able to guarantee that I receive at least 3 rares. I am also better than most average/new players so I want to make sure that I get the best rares and they end up with worse ones. I care more about the monetary value of cards than actually playing the game for decent prizes."
How many rares have previous duel decks had? These seem to have more (6)

But nothing compares to Tarmogoyf. He was an anomaly, like Neo in the Matrix. In fact, one time I saw a Tarmogoyf stop bullets in midair, then fly off the table around the room a bit before winning the game.
Ok, definitely getting 1-2 of these when I can. Nice EDH cards in here, plus 2 dillo cloaks and 2 Priests of Gix? Heck, I'm very happy with those especially.

You need to fix your links. A lot of the autocards in the decklist are broken, and the links for the new art link to some crappy card sale website that lags a lot.
These decklists are significantly better than I expected. Three Invasion dragons in the new face makes this a worthwhile purchase for the EDH lover alone, even leaving aside many other nifty things.
Well, I'm happy and I'll get one.
I hope the mana-base for the Coalition deck works so if anyone feels like playtesting that let me know. I am a little sad about no Coalition victory or Last stand.
i really want this for the sake of my cube, will this be a card store exclusive like algelic vs demonic or can i go to wal-mart like a plainswalker one
edit: i dont have any way of ordering things online, where i can purchase it in person with cash is the only advice im looking for
Well, there's no big money card this time, but we got 12 rares. I think that's a record for any boxed product. The premium deck only had 6, Planechase decks only had 8, and Duel decks usually have 8 with Divine vs Demonic being the exception since Serra Angel/Fallen Angel would be printed at uncommon nowdays, anyway.
However, in today's culture of Justin Bieber, Jersey Shore, and Twilight, where every song on the radio, every program on television and every site on the internet is just another monument to the pinnacle of human stupidity, it's certainly not the worst thing that people could be watching.

The non-planeswalker duel deck gets an additional rare for each deck. the divine vs demonic duel decks each has 1 mythic + 4 rares.
I'll be splitting one of these with my girlfriend for sure.
On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
I love that they put Coalition Relic in.

Edit - Can someone put up the new art?

While both were Phyrexian by extension, they fit into Rath more than Phyrexia. If anything, Tsabo would make the cut before they did.
