It doesn't look foil, but as before we've seen bad cameras not pick up the glint of the foils. It does atleast have some attention to detail in being #6 as that is the only judge promo from this year we have not seen. I would be rather disappointed if this is a judge promo as that would pretty much mean it will not exist in this years FTV. Camera angle on the card does make me wonder though, but don't think I could call immediate fake on it.
I'm going on record right now and stating that before the end of 2012 we will see foil dual lands in booster packs (The real, Alpha dual lands). You can quote me on that.
Right....that must mean all Judge Sneak Attacks must be fake.
I'm not confirming this is real or not, but I think Karakas is long due for a foil.
I think he just meant that there is clearly room for flavor text, and it does seem a little odd that it is absent. Does that mean that it is fake? No. Is that a valid point? Yes.

There is a small amount of foiling picked up in the picture, notice the difference in colouration across the starburst in the textbox.
Also the artist credit is silver, not white. Which also suggests foiling.
My pro fake-spotting skillz tell me it's ~95% real. If it's fake then it's a contender to be the best fake ever.
It's definitely a foil but the complete lack of foiling effect on the picture itself is a little disturbing to me. The art on foils rarely looks the same as it does on nonfoils, for comparison the MTGO image: http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/attachments/96/406/635032497050742516.jpg
FTV:Realms seems much less awesome when we know Karakas is NOT in.
What if Karakas is in FTV: Realms? What if all of those alternate arts in MTGO mean that WotC is giving the reprint policy a giant middle finger and giving us duals and Kjeldoran Outpost and everything? conspiracykeanu.jpg
(I put the odds of this between 0 and 1%.)
Seriously, do we know that Karakas isn't in FTV: Realms?

Yeah... if it's real, it's gonna be a much less awesome FTV. But as someone pointed out, the fact that the art itself shows no foiling is weird.
Seriously, Wasteland is much more likely for FTV anyway. It's not so high priced, it's a tournament staple, and it already has a judge foil. It's not like they can totally pack them with money despite wanting them to be collectable. They still want them to be reasonable enough that people with the cash to buy a box per set can afford them.
Pretty sweet, but I dont like the oversimplification of it. flavour text would be nice.

Saying that you sometimes wish people (in this case the implication is the staff) would fall down a well and get AIDS is hardly appropriate for the forum.

It already has 2 different promos so I would cast my doubts on it.

Indeed you are correct I missed that. Didn't even think of the silver sticker the foils are printed onto when looking at the name. That is another attention to detail that makes me think this may be possibly real. So many fakes are missing the small details, and if this is fake I do say bravo to the crafter of this proxy.

Wasteland is pretty much guaranteed. If it's not in, it'd be a total failure. Not that it will significantly drop the prices. Prices only drop a little on very rare cards that see play in some specific decks, like mox diamond. Wasteland was an uncommon that sees like in like what, 80% of the legacy decks? Pfft won't change the price a bit (talking about an ftv reprint here, not a major one).
It's ugly enough to be a promo (watermark/ugly symbol).
I wonder if they are using the new foiling process on this one, which would allow you to
appreciate the card without the shininess assaulting your eyes.
It shows a foil karakas, with the MTGO cube alternated art.
With the number of 6/8, which inserted between sneak attack(5/8) and SoLaS(7/8).
The oringinal poster of this photo, did not tell how or when he got this card. Is it real?

Karakas is not on the reserved list.
Good to hear. I demand a reprint immediately, then
