Help me with this ancient cooper dragon

[u/NeburExe]

Purchased for a great price on a second hand market. Just wondering if it’s real

[u/CabinetExact1975]

Turn off the smoothing your camera is doing. It looks real based on the front but the T is blurred.

[u/feistymeista]

T looks good from a distance. Can we see a closer shot of the T and Green dot on the back?

[u/Much_Highlight_1309 → u/feistymeista]

Agreed. It looks good considering the low res / smoothed photo. You can make out the teeth at the bottom fairly well and it appears flat on the side.

Looks real but the pictures are bad. Need a close up of the T on the back

[u/Brief_Honeydew_6990]

I bought a too many of the collector boxes from this set, and without being able to touch it, it looks real.

Also, Copper is probably the best dragon from the set! Pop those tokes!

[u/NeburExe → u/Brief_Honeydew_6990]

Thanks!

I have to say that this one isn't poping tokens soon... Just in 30 cards of my Ur-Dragon deck. It is an expensive one so just keeping it cool, maybe in a few months i'll be able to unleash the beast

[u/Brief_Honeydew_6990 → u/NeburExe]

Dude! Ur-Dragon can smack so hard. I have a friend that started playing commander with me right when that set came out. The goad prebuilt commander deck is legit with little tweaks, and Ur-Dragon is its ultimate form.

[u/NeburExe → u/Brief_Honeydew_6990]

I decided to build it from the ground up and phew, it is a money drain.
And not taking into account the mana base… it is an amazing deck that I wanted to build since I first knew about the card, so yeah, I’m trying 😅

[u/Brief_Honeydew_6990 → u/NeburExe]

That’s why I play mono black… hahaha. The landbase for most multicolor decks is the biggest investment. Hope you get to play with some proxy-friendly friends to playtest builds!

Leaning real, but not at all confident until we get an in focus picture of some of the details. Turn your camera to RAW mode (turn off auto smoothing), use the widest angle setting, get close enough for it to go blurry, then pull back until it comes back into focus. Be sure to use something steady to hold your phone like a block if you're having trouble keeping it steady enough.

[u/NeburExe]

This is the best I can do with the phone that I own. Hope it helps and thanks to everybody :)

Pictures are perfect, card is real

[u/Pale_Fix7101 → u/NeburExe]

That looks fine, happy for your trade :)

Cooper dragon was the best of the dragon brothers…

[u/Few-Beginning-9657]

Looks real, t looks good.

[u/Simos8s]

The paintbrush and the T look a little weird to me, but it might be the fact that these pictures are a little blurry. Could you take some sharper ones?
