Venser vs. Koth was panned by critics and was ill-received, with some citing a lack of power, lack of favorable card–card interactions or synergy in both decks, and the "broad but shallow" approach with themes and mechanics.
==Background==
Venser vs. Koth is based on the novel The Quest for Karn, which tells the story of the Scars of Mirrodin block.
