The Izzet League, under the ingenious mind of its guildmaster, the dragon Niv-Mizzet, has dabbled, delved, and decoded many mysteries in its insatiable thirst for knowledge. Now the dracomagus seeks to plumb the depths of Ravnica's undercity. But the Golgari don't welcome interlopers in their dank, moldy realm.
Under the command of the elvish lich lord Jarad, the Golgari have dwelled in darkness long enough. The Swarm grows restless and its rot farms need fresh corpses. Jarad believes the time is right to teach Niv-Mizzet's magewrights a lesson: that there is no place for Izzet research in the vicious cycle of life and death.
These ready-to-play 60-card decks showcase some of the best cards in Magic history. Together, the Izzet vs. Golgari Duel Decks have ten rare cards and two mythic rare cards: foil alternative-art versions of Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. In addition to Jarad, there are five other cards from the new Return to Ravnica set and ten other cards featuring new artwork.
