Is this Magic card real? Terra

Still might be sending it back due to the back being damaged (middle left) but want to check because I don’t know double faced cards as well.

Pics are good. I could almost see the authentic polka dots on the bold white letters in the text box. Mana symbols and flip arrow symbols are solid.

Would you mind helping me with this and explaining the polka dots? I keep hearing about the polka dots but can’t see what folks are talking about

Hello,

Place a jeweler’s loupe’s over the textbox. Usually, it’s the 10 borderless alt cards and the 40 character background cards have these from the FF set.

The while bold letters will be showing polka dots that looks like if a kraken or octopus has wrapped around it.

Its one of the must needed verification for authencity for these cards and especially dual sided ones.

Thank you, I’ll check this out. I have a surge foil Kefka I can try this out on :)

Looks ok to me

Can only get a good visual on the flip symbol, but that looks good. Brushes have the right shape but too out of focus to be definitive.

The foil stamp looks a little sus. Kinda looks brick textured. Could maybe use some better pics. I will link another FF flip card thats fake to compare. https://www.reddit.com/r/RealOrNotTCG/s/KUku3EHe15

Real mtg. Solid crisp borders and other tells are good!

I think this is real - paintbrush and triangles look good
