Duel Decks: Elves vs. Inventors were the last Duel Decks to be released. The product line was being replaced by Challenger Deck series.[2]
Elves vs. Inventors features a war of ideology between the mighty Elves, preservers of nature, and inventors, proponents of artifice. The Elves are fronted by Ezuri, Renegade Leader, and the Inventors deck features Goblin Welder. The two premium cards, along with Elvish Archdruid and Thopter Assembly feature new artwork.[4] Due to a quirk of product scheduling, Duel Decks: Elves vs. Inventors features the template and card face changes that are officially introduced with the later release Dominaria.[5]
The Duel Decks include a Magic “learn to play” guide, a strategy insert, and a deck box, a spindown life counter and 5 tokens each. Each deck contains four rares.
