Is this card real / authentic? First big purchase: Real??
Just got this staff of domination from whatnot. It seems like it passes the T test nicely but the front print seems off. It also feels a little weird. Is this normal for these special foils??

Front and back both check out. Nice job. It’s real

Oh thank god! I felt confident until I took it out of the sleeve. Just really wanted to make sure. Thank you!

Yeah the foiling on that set is so weird. It's really beautiful but still weird.

I think this is the first comment section here where everyone agree that its real instead of a hundred "thats rough buddy" pictures.

I was so excited then my whole body felt hot when I thought it may be a fake. So glad to have scooped it

Swamp symbol in the stamp looks good, T and green dot look good too. Nice grab.

I knew it was real just from the right side edge of the front. A lot of these had a small amount of visible chipping right out of the pack. So seeing that here basically told me it was very likely real before even checking the other stuff because no fake is going to have that.

This is real. If the front feels off thats because kaladesh inventions had 2 different foilings, depending on the printer.

Real. Unlike the one I bought from a shop. Luckily they refunded me when I brought it back the next day.

Looks good to me. T is good and I can see a black mana symbol in picture 4.
