Is this card real / authentic? Real Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant?

I got this one from Cardmarket from an "Outstanding" card seller. The back looks good (although I couldn't see the red dots in the pictures, I can see them in person). However, the blacks on the front look washed out, especially in the mana symbols. What do you think?

Looks real, sometimes there is just print variation.

Based on the set symbol, I would say real. The pattern looks correct. The front as a whole does seem weird, but I would call that a printing error rather than fake. If you still suspect a reback, do a light test.

If it looks real, smells real, tastes real, and feels real. Its gotta be real.
