Yes, we already know the art, but this hasn't been posted. So I am posting the complete card for the community.

Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I like the old artwork better. Yeah, I know, the new art, like the art from the past 5 years or so is clean, crisp and done well. But I'm just nolstalgic for classic art. Reminds me of high school when grunge was big and flannels were fashionable.
It was in the explanation post for the March 2009 B&R on Wizard's site.
It is uncommon, but it's like the common/uncommon/rare/mythic rarities on cards in the Jace vs Chandra duel decks.
Right. It's colored uncommon because its last printing (Revised) was uncommon. They only change things when the next printing is already planned at mythic, like Lorwyn planeswalkers.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):
Sweet, it's uncommon? That means we'll get more of them!
Nah, probably not. Why would they put more in there? It's like the Fact or Fiction and Flametongue Kavu in Jace vs Chandra, there'll be only 1 in the decklist. You'll get exactly one cool black-border Demonic Tutor for each lame foil Akroma.
This is the Fact or Fiction of the black deck, obviously.
New art, powerful uncommon, but only one.
Not a big deal really. Obviously it was going to be uncommon. Duel decks have no reason to change rarities.

Seeing the entire card, I have to say that it looks AWFUL. I am glad to see it's not taking up a rare slot, however, since it was never printed as a rare.

Also happy this isn't a rare, but that doesn't mean it makes room for more good rares. I mean the mythic is lord of the pit after all so I'm not sensing a whole lot of excellence in playability coming off these cards. Cool demons yes, but a good rare, probably not.
Also for everyone thinking they'll get multiple demonic tutors, I really have to ask why? Other than for trades (which these should be plentiful in stock other the FTV) and casual (you jerks it's casual) the only legal format has DT as restricted, so one is good enough for me.
Now if only they'll put in demonic hordes I can be happy.

That's personal then, I'm stoked! Great art, black bordered, new cardface, legal in Peasant. What's not to like?
Can't wait to see what other goodies they put in the Demonic part to make it not suck, as demons are obv a bit of a dud, powerwise that is, in magic. Wouldn't Dark Confidant be sweet?

Dark Confidant isn't a demon, it isn't remotely demonic, and playing it is an auto-loss in a demon deck with a high curve. I hope that was a joke, because that's ridiculous if serious.
As for the artwork, I kinda like the art (Although it should be zoomed in a lot more), but I don't like it for this card. It just doesn't fit as well as the original artwork, which is one of the most iconic card images in the game alongside things like Shivan Dragon and Black Lotus, and Juzam Djinn.

Yeah I like the original art much more; yeah it'll be like the fact or fiction and flametongue kavu in jace.
I wonder if swords to plowshares could be the broken uncommon the white deck gets because they seem to keep printing the best uncommons in eternal formats in these duel decks. I'd love an alt. art StP if it were good that is.
Yeah I hope it has damnation too because I'll be buying some of these duel decks I assure you I missed out on jace vs. chandra but I'll probably nab some the weekend these come out.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
Sweet! I really like this as one of the uncommons. Going to be worth a bundle online. Trading your Daze for 11 tix is a good time. I predict this will fetch a pretty nice price as well.
They're going to re-release all these rare as heck cards in a Master's Edition anyways, and I can wait.

My bad. :/ I only checked the list not the explanation, as I didn't find the list to have any impact on anything I play. Thanks for the heads up.
.
They only put so many rares in these decks, so if they spend one on Demonic Tutor there's less other ones.
Color me impressed that they fought the urge to change it (because you know they had to have that urge )

Go out and buy the new Duel Deck, Divine vs. Demonic.
You have to wait until it's released first, remember.;) That's be first advice I would have given that person.
How do you get that card? Just wait.:rolleyes:
And I think it looks awesome! (I'll definitely wait to get it:D)
I like 4/4s for 7.
