Oracle Text
At the beginning of your upkeep, you and target opponent each reveal the top card of your library. You each lose life equal to the mana value of the card revealed by the other player. You each put the card you revealed into your hand.

Character Background
Keen Duelist is a brutally efficient black value creature that turns every upkeep into a tense wager, fitting best into grindy control or midrange shells that can leverage life as a resource. A 2/2 for {1}{B} is already acceptable, but the real prize is the repeatable card draw, since both players replace the revealed card into hand while being punished for the other’s hit. In practice, this means you want your deck tuned to reveal low mana value cards while making your opponent pay for theirs; smooth curves, cheap interaction, and a low average mana value all help. It pairs especially well with top-deck manipulation like Sensei’s Divining Top, Vampiric Tutor, or Scroll Rack, letting you stack your library so they take the bigger hit while you keep drawing gas. The card feels like a shadowy mind-game duelist, rewarding patience, information, and careful deck construction over raw aggression.
