You could derive the name from a mindset or characteristic that thrives in combat/conflict, like Battlelust, Combatant, Fighter, Aggression (aggression seems more like an attacker but a defender can just as well be aggressive and seek out a fight). From that place of logic, you could call it Initiative or Take Action. If your creature is engaged in combat, they are either attacking or blocking. If it was me, I would focus on the act of taking action, because that is what this mechanic checks for. This doesn't seem like a duelist perspective, unless you're figuring the attacking creature duels the player/planeswalker it attacks, who are helpless to actually defend themselves. Additionally you want to reward attacks that doesn't necessarily have to be blocked, which doesn't result in a duel (or skirmish). If you include more people it is a skirmish or on a larger scale a battle. Actually it goes as far as being an arranged fight between two individuals with matched weapons. A duel emphasizes the combat between two individuals. Omnath, Locus of the Roil doesn't have landfall printed on it, but most will call it landfall when explaining it.Īnother thing is I absolutely have to disagree about the name. I had a section about the dangers of a mechanic that shares a generic trigger but is bound to a certain function - like Duelist seems to be for the benefit of the Duelist creature or its controller, but there are creatures like Hamlet Captain and Savvy Hunter which doesn't seem to flavorfully fit the duelist function despite sharing its trigger. It needs to be on the level of Landfall to make much sense. I mean down the line it's a net gain to refer to combat-specific triggers as a keyword, but unless it gets evergreen or evergreen-like, I don't see the point. I'll partially agree with D e i n o S t i n k u s that this keyword doesn't seem necessary as a keyword.

I'm all for more Demonic presence but this seems pretty boring. Loops in our format for the purpose of triggering people's PTSD. (Can the fact that Foods are artifacts be abused in golgari?) But hey, an extra excuse for (Although I only just got the pun on that card, ironically.) Anyway, EDH tries to get caught up with the ELD Food theme, but the support is still kinda lackluster mostly the card advantage from Gyome, Master Chef: I never voiced it but I predicted that the chef would be Witherbloom when I read So the Witherbloom precon was so-so, IMO:
