The latest Duel Decks release, Knights Vs. Dragons, has apparently stirred up some confusion amongst consumers. The deck positioning of two Goblin tokens have led some customers to believe they have purchased a misprinted product that contains two copies of the Dragon deck and no copies of the Knights deck. The confusion has apparently been significant enough for Wizards to release a statement to retailers. From the announcement:

"It has come to our attention that a goblin may be causing some mischief with consumers who purchase the Duel Decks: Knights vs Dragons. In the packaging tray underneath the foil Knight of the Reliquary and Bogardan Hellkite lie the two cellophane-wrapped decks. Each deck has 60 cards in it - 59 cards plus a Goblin token - and it's that token that may be causing some confusion. In many cases, the Goblin token card in the Knights deck is actually the top card, which may lead some consumers to believe that they have two Dragon decks."

The Goblin tokens are for use if Dragon Fodder is cast from the Dragon deck.
