Sorcery
Choose two target creatures that share no creature types. Those creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)
Legal In
Modern Legacy Vintage Commander Penny Dreadful PreDH

Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 4 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

3 Precedents

The two creatures may be controlled by the same player.

If, by the time Rivals’ Duel resolves, an effect has caused the two target creatures to share a creature type, Rivals’ Duel doesn’t resolve for having no legal targets.

If either one of the creatures leaves the battlefield before Rivals’ Duel resolves, no damage is dealt to or by the remaining creature. If both creatures leave the battlefield before Rivals’ Duel resolves, the spell doesn’t resolve for having no legal targets.
