Fake Demonic Tutor?

[u/moniqeur]

Hi team,

Looking to purchase this demonic tutor but I can’t see any versions online that have this black border with the text “Search your library”

Beta and alpha version should state “You may search your library” and revised versions should have a white border.

Is this a known fake style or some other small print run version? Would appreciate your help.

Thanks!

First picture alone tells me this is fake

[u/JeffersonsHat → u/whatwouldseinfeldsay]

Can tell by the poor quality of the pixel printing

It’s even missing the white dots in an alpha or beta

Revised text, fake black border, and even if it was an inked Revised the name/sorcery/artist are way too broad and way too white, the saturation is too light, and the border is off. Cheap fake.

Fake. Text is way to white/clear

fake and a bad one at that :) Text is wrong, border is wrong, mana pip is too big for some reason.

30th has that text but laid out different. And your back has the offcolor my cheap chinese proxys have. I'll check the text on my Dtutor copy... but I'd lean fake.

Closeup of the word "The" on the back would be an easy check.

(Checked my proxy and it says "You May")

Looking like a fake someone put revised card text with alpha borders.

Have u checked if someone inked the borders? Back in times people disliked white borders so many cards were inked on purpose

[u/nckbg]

The layout is that of revised, and sometimes people do ink the border, but in this case the colours are too saturated, so I would say fake.

I new demons weren’t real and neither were they private educators

[u/Papa_Hasbro69]

It’s fake the text shouldn’t be that white but rather grayish

[u/CapitalElk1169]

Did you really have to ask on this one? 😂

Seen a couple back in the day, 30 years ago, and remember it enough to find the face odd, colors are weird but could be from the picture.
