About Mage Duel
Mage Duel, Sorcery, designed by Randy Vargas first released in Apr, 2021 in the set Strixhaven: School of Mages.
A deck that focuses on casting multiple instant and sorcery spells in a turn, such as a spell-slinging or tempo deck, would benefit from including Mage Duel. While Mage Duel can be a powerful removal spell in the right circumstances, there are potentially better options like Fight as One or Prey Upon that offer more flexibility or efficiency, so its inclusion in a deck would depend on the specific strategy and card pool available.
Rules
04/16/21
If the creature you control is an illegal target as Mage Duel tries to resolve, that creature won’t get +1/+2. If that creature is a legal target, but the one you don’t control isn’t, your creature will still get +1/+2. In both cases, no fight will happen and no creature will deal or be dealt damage.
04/16/21
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Mage Duel). Mage Duel’s mana value is always 3, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
