ANNOUNCING DUEL DECKS: BLESSED VS. CURSED
Holy Warriors Unite Against the Unquiet Dead
A divine mission has once again united the Humans, Spirits, and Angels of Innistrad. Together, these protectors will stand against the shadows, fighting for humanity’s salvation.
Evil rules the night. Shambling hordes of the dead roam free, their cemetery gates in ruins, as powerful Demons soar overhead. The fate of the living remains shrouded in darkness.
