Who won in the Tibalt vs Sorin fight? They def met on Innistrad but little of their confrontation is known.

They did not, the Duel Deck existing is not canon by itself any more than Elspeth vs Tezzeret.

FAKE NEWS

If it were real, Tibalt would be deader than shit, let’s not kid ourselves

[yahenni]

The story behind the duel decks is that Sorin invited Tibalt to brunch at Markov Manor and Tibalt brought box wine

People pointed out that the shadow behind gids is either Ob Nix or Rakdos..

[doctor-roman]

Ob’s horns aren’t that shape. But if it’s Rakdos, why is he in the background of Gideon’s card???

[doctor-roman]

W A I T

IS RAKDOS THE ONE WHO CHUCKED GIDS?!

Potentially? Teferi mentions dueling a shark-goddess planeswalker on a marine plane in the Time Spiral novel.

Hey why the FUCK do the Boros have Guantanamo Bay in the SKY, and we’ve only heard of it in the flavor text of this one common.
