Duel Decks Anthology: Elves vs. Goblins collection

The Duel Decks Anthology: Elves vs. Goblins expansion represents a prestigious reprint of one of the most beloved tribal confrontations in Magic: The Gathering history.

It is designed for players who appreciate the classic themes of fantasy combat and for collectors looking for specific card versions with the unique Anthology expansion symbol.

Available products and card types

Within this category, you can find various types of items tailored to different needs. The primary focus of this collection is Singles, which include all the individual creatures, spells, and lands that make up these two thematic decks. From powerful lords that boost their kin to utility spells that turn the tide of battle, every card is available for individual purchase. Additionally, the set includes specific Tokens/Emblems that are essential for tracking the many creature tokens generated by cards like Siege-Gang Commander or Ambush Commander. While this page focuses on the Anthology versions, many of these cards are also found in other Magic: The Gathering sets.

Guide to choosing cards for your tribal deck

When navigating this collection, your choice depends on whether you are looking to complete the original duel experience or upgrade an existing tribal deck. If you are building an Elf-based strategy, look for cards that emphasize mana ramp and creature synergy, allowing you to overwhelm opponents with a massive board presence. Conversely, if your interest lies with the Goblins, prioritize cards that offer aggressive starts and direct damage capabilities. Collectors should pay close attention to the condition of the cards, as these Anthology reprints feature a distinct look compared to their original 2007 counterparts. Using the filters on our marketplace allows you to sort by rarity or price to find exactly what your deck requires.
