Jace vs. Chandra Japanese Duel Deck (MTG)

As a long time player and collector of magic cards i think its awesome that they made some reprints with new art. God forbid cards in Japanese have artwork that reflects that. So what you play magic to play magic? You probably aren't playing with Japanese cards anyways. If you don't like the art you could simply give it a 1star and say: "I don't like the art" instead of calling it japanimation garbage when its a JAPANESE deck.

Couldn't have said that better... I, for one, really like this new art, granted the originals are just as great. But then again, i'm an anime and manga nerd through and through, lol. I hope to soon add this to my collective.
Athough i have to slightly agree, though i don't believe them to be "ruined", MTG should stay just that... too many shows and products are turning into card games, and MTG shouldn't really fall too much into that kind of line.
But it is neat they're making special editions of some of people's favorite cards, and i do think it makes a good addition to any collective, manga fan or not.

This duel deck pack, regardless of the language it's printed in, is pretty solid. It's exactly the same as the English language version so why is there a problem? Surely you can't be superficial enough toe be offended by manga artwork? You DO realize that it's actually an art form, right? Manga as a form of art does not exist exclusively on lunchboxes and the Cartoon Network, and not everyone has to be some anime fanboy to appreciate it.
Rate the deck, not the art.

Yay! The new art is so cool :-) Got me a box, and I'm happy

This is cool. They are really trying hard to please there costumers, at least give some credit :(. Any ways This is cool looking i wish i had one.

I am a huge anime/japanese manga art fan. It makes me happy that they made this. It looks so cool! I just wish they had some in english

A little pricey, however definitely a must have for collectors. Artwork looks great and I personally hope Wizards continue to make alternative artwork/manga style cards in the future. :)

Well, the artwork is a big part of this deck, because the main reason to buy it is the alternate art! Personally, I don't care much for the new arts. Jace isn't bad, but I don't like the white symbols/lines on his outfit (where are far less noticeable in most other versions). Chandra... well I don't like fact she isn't wearing her normal armor (aka, far less clothes than normal) for the manga so I don't really prefer this art and probably is my least favorite version because of it (tbh, original is my fav for the non-ablaze artworks).
Besides that, you get a lot of nice cards. However, they are all Japanese... this can be good or bad. If you want to use it as a duel deck, aka dueling decks against each other with a friend, you probably won't be able to use this unless you can read Japanese or unless both of you memorized every single card. However, these cards are still tournament legacy and the Jace is worth a good bit. I got singles of the Magma Jet for only $1 for my burn deck, which is a bit cheaper than the other versions. So if you want to buy the deck just to loot it for the good cards and resell the ones you don't want, it is probably worth it (I seen it for $25 with shipping in some places). If you want it for the duel decks to use, it probably isn't a good idea unless you can read the cards...
Overall, it is a great deck because the originals were great. It has new artworks and cheaper reprints of a lot of cards and is good.
