For an out-of-the-box duel set, Wizards of the Coast has shifted towards Starter Kits, which are intentionally low-value but maximized for teaching newer players what to do
Among the new ones are V.A.T.S., which destroys all creatures that share a toughness of your choice, and it has split second, a throwback to the in-game system of targeting
