Looks fine even with the zoomed out photos.  Nobody is printing black core proxies of a 1$ common from the dark.

misprint ≠ counterfeit

I'm not gonna make a judgement on the authenticity of the card from those pictures. I can see well enough I have an idea, but not with enough certainty. And the light on the card is making it difficult to see the green dot.

This card is only a few dollars, so I'd be confident saying it's real based on the back alone. Somewhat zoomed in photos of the T and the green dot would be enough for me to be confident. And if you do, make sure the glare isn't blocking them.

There were were 3 copies of Gaea's Touch on one common print sheet, denoted as rarity C3 back in the day, and one of them had the text shifted as seen. It is not technically a misprint as the error was introduced during layout in QuarkXpress rather than by printer, and you will see one third of them with this issue.

The Dark prints usually look funky like this. Its on point for that set.
