i've always thought diabolic tutor to be expensive so i'm not excited. as for knight of dusk, i find very little purpose to block such a creature. i hope it gets demoted to common. i'm so tired of wizards promoting so many uncommons to rare in the core set but not demoting any to uncommon in exchange. vizzerdrix, for example, can be demoted to common. i don't see how rukh egg can go from common to rare. =(
both are pretty meh, but thanks for the info. Knight of Dusk is slightly better at the moment than it was originally thanks to interaction with Haakon Stromgald Scourge.
I don't see why people are crying "10ED IS TEH SUCKAGE" now, when exciting cards like these are being reprinted.
That said, its good to see Diabolic Tutor getting new art, that old "evil stuff on an evil looking study desk" art needs to go. And if we're getting Knight of Dusk, we're probably getting Knight of Dawn too, which everyone felt was the better knight in the mirror in the first place. So why all the unfounded hate in this thread?

Wrath of God couldn't be more religious if the picture was Jesus smacking demons with a jug of Holy Water.
Yay! I have been designing a Black/White aggro deck that is seriously lacking in Black. Knight of Dusk is the kind of discount creature I have been looking for.

"Discount"? It costs 3 mana, including double black, to give you a 2/2. It has an OK ability, but in all honesty it is not that great as blocking does not take place a lot in constructed, and you don't want to be leaving that much mana open for the chance that it does.
And if we're getting Knight of Dusk, we're probably getting Knight of Dawn too, which everyone felt was the better knight in the mirror in the first place.
I wouldn't count on getting Knight of Dawn. We already know that Paladin En-Vec is coming back, it would be ridiculous to have two cards in the format that are that similar. Paladin runs circles around this guy anyway...

If I'm not mistaken, the serpent in the artwork is supposed to be the "Tutor." By Tutor I mean "he who Tutes," or whatever conjugation of the verb is appropriate.

Well I was kinda expecting tutors to be more, well, human-like, see the Mirage-cycleTutors for what I mean.
Grim Tutor, now THAT's a tutor that looks cool and menacing, bound to make you learn well from the tuition.
Edit: and yes, i am aware of the Time Vault thing, but it's really an isolated case as far as i know.

If you are looking for cheap, efficient black creatures, why not try things like Withered Wretch, Stromgald Crusader, Plagued Rusalka and so forth?
