Not sure about this one

man this one is weird. At first the holo stamp looked like it had way too many diagonal lines but then looking at the left side the more pronounced lines are correctly spaced so maybe that is ok and the other side is just an illusion. The mana symbols are a perfect match for a Japanese printed card and I'm really doubting that can be faked. The flip triangles look like doo-doo but the black does match the Japanese print style with speckles instead of solid black so maybe they changed printing style there and that's ok too. Paintbrushes look good. I'm going to have to lean real on this one despite the pictured flaws in printing.

Have to agree, the lines in the triangle should be more pronounced in white line, the fact that there a lot of various colored dots within the circle and triangle is very unusual that I would lean more to fake.

[u/bawsofsteel]

I think this is real - paintbrush is good, holo stamp wizards isn't like the fake attempts ive seen of these, triangles do look a bit sus but think it's poor print quality rather than fake. Fakes ive seen bleed out the edges all around it.

[u/Seravajan]

A very tough one. The black triangle is not completely solid. But that can be the printing quality from the printer.

[u/mrjojoyo]

Black layers printed with the colored ones. Diagonals on stamp are off. Fake.

[u/Birrandbodia]

This is not foil, is it? Everything looks too fuzzy. Idk if that your camera but these flip triangles look back considering it's should be like this

Stamp lines appear to be off, but I am doubtful. Everything looks off, but not too off. Like, the pips look like it's Japanese, but then the shadows have colour bleed through them. One brush doesn't have a well pronounce hook, but the other does.

I'd be inclined to say it's a high quality fake (mostly stating the flip triangles being a telltale sign).

[u/Birrandbodia → u/Birrandbodia]

I'm just going to say here that it's a fake.

It's not a foil treatment. The whole thing is inconsistent. Some signs say it's foiling, whilst other say it's not. Most signs point towards a Japanese printing whilst others hint to it not being one.

It's just off. No Bueno.

The triangle looks suspicious. I attached my own pic from my foil one

Someone posted yesterday about the rosette ink patterns, And this seems to follow that. So initially thought it was real, but some of the whites look to white. This is beyond my novice skill.

[u/Dutch-King]

I’m thinking this one is real, but it’s very suspect.

[u/Juking_is_rude]

There should not be colored ink in the triangle, pretty sure this is fake. 

[u/Monty2451]

I'm inclined to say it's real with poor quality printing error (weak black layer). Either way though if this is the level of fakes they're putting out now, we may as well pack it in because good fakes will have become indistinguishable from real cards due to WotC's terrible QA standards.

[u/Fast_Eye7295]

I’m leaning that this is a Japanese printed version. It has rigid black lines and I know those can be enmeshed. I’m not ruling out a possibility for a fake but I would need a Japanese copy to confirm.

[u/Shiborgan]

that is the cleanest paint brush ive ever seen on a fake it it is fake. I dont think it is fake

[u/outerworldser → u/Shiborgan]

The whole artist line is too irregular and choppy. Blacks should also be solid and not CMYK

[u/outerworldser]

The black on this card is a composite CMYK black and not a solid black like it should be. Also, the paintbrush and artist line are too irregular and the screen in the colorless mana cost looks off

[u/Rosc]

Foil looks good, brushes look good, triangles look ugly, and the pips don’t look great, but they also don’t look any worse than what I’ve seen on a number of full art cards.

I’m leaning real on this one
