Hi team,

Looking to purchase this demonic tutor but I can’t see any versions online that have this black border with the text “Search your library”

Beta and alpha version should state “You may search your library” and revised versions should have a white border.

Is this a known fake style or some other small print run version? Would appreciate your help.

Thanks!

I bought this card on ebay. Card number indicates surge foil but this isnt surge foil looking. I'm getting back into magic and need reassurance that this isn't real. I don't have the tool to check for markings.

Bought the Card at a gamestore a couple months ago and inspected the usual marks and looked/felt good whilst being there. Bought a precision scale yesterday- to weigh a funny feeling Plateau and also decided to weigh this Manavault, which came up at ~1.61 grams (I weighed it multiple times), which as far as I can know, is quite a bit to light for a magic Card.

Does anyone know, if this Card/set series is simply an outlier weight wise, or did I miss something?

I apologize for the mediocre pictures.

First pic is the real one, second is the fake. The T is clear, but the rosette pattern is a dead give away, the offset generates a distinctive pattern. Cannot be replicated with laser (yet).

Got this a while ago from a game store and cased it up but been wondering if theres any good way to tell if this is real, a repack, searched, etc. I dont see creeses or extra glue. I like to keep it seeled and its more of a memorabelia piece for me for now but still wanted to get an idea of thoughts around real/fake but then also searched/resealed

Surge foil Smaug being sold for 50$ under current market price so I want to make sure I'm not getting scammed lol.

T test seems to check out but you never know

Edit: I would be picking the card up in person so if it is anything like the picture I should be in good shape

I’m fairly new to the possibility that a card is fake so my apology’s if the images I took suck.

Can anybody help me establish if this is fake or real?

The holo pattern looks off to me but that is just me.

I have had these in my collection for long enough to know remember how and when I picked them up, but I have never opened a pack of Unlimited. I was planning on trying to move some on, but I noticed some color variation with darker printings (see e.g. Forest 302 appears darker than the other Forests).

Before selling or trading them, I wanted to see if you all could weigh in on their authenticity.

Thanks for the help!

All 3 cards pass the Back test 4 red dots in the green Big dot and they all pass the T Test.

What makes me suspicous is that in Picture 2 the black linie is so much bigger like in all my other cards but the cards from picture 1 and 3 only have these dot lines. In my opinion only the Card in Picture 2 is real and the other two could be fake.
