Could you put up the link to the ad by any chance? The names sound real legit

Borborygmos Enraged. (Poor borborygmos. what a new crappy name wotc gave him)

btw i subscribed to this thread, so make sure upload the image as soon as you get the picture.

its obviously fake.. since if he only had foils he would have no idea that the cards came in foil and non foil versions.. wich means he wouldnt even have made it a point to mention they are foils. (then agian I could be wrong and maybe he has some knowledge on how sports cards work, with promos and inserts etc.. so i'll wait and see)

What? Your logic only applies if the person selling them knows nothing about magic cards to begin with.
He only mentions having Jace as non-foil and it may have been gotten through legitimate means as opposed to the rest of the cards.

if you have never been in PBM graphics and have any idea how they print or run an operation one guy will work on a machine all day watching foils being printed not knowing what the hell they are really and taking some home thinking foils are worth more than non foils trying to make a few extra $$

zmaster27 · 11-17-2012, 01:49 AM

Hmm.... this has certainly piqued my interest. be sure to post pics if he sends em. the names make plenty of sense, and well.... i am just really hoping for an early spoiler

One guy would not risk his career and the legal implications of what he was doing to do this. On the career side, this would cost the manufacturer their contract and the individual his job. On the legal side, you better believe you can't take copyrighted materials from a client you've signed an NDA with and pocket them home.

Heck, Wizards has fired employees for such misconduct with the (limited) printing capabilities they (had?). Upperdeck lost the rights to Yu-Gi-Oh! over something similar too...

The names are believable enough and the it suggests a hybrid walker. If this were legit fake, the faker knows enough about Magic to know the two guild leaders names, that they're gold, and that Borborygmos already has a card and would need a new name, yet wouldn't know about hybrid. I want to believe!

Hrmmm... this does seem to be an inconsistency in our rules. Guess I'll fix that as I assume it would follow the same thing as the ebay rule.

well to tell you this place uses alot of man power people/ maybe the turn over rate is high at a place like this/ or an employee could get such things from a garbage can

Mashayous · 11-17-2012, 01:57 AM

Please be real.. I want a peek at the new guild mechanics

Looks like the Gruul and Boros mechanics are gonna get a very early spoil if this is real.

Not to say Gatecrash could be different, but RTR guild leaders had nothing even close to their guild's mechanics on them.

Some random dragon that is probably awful... This could be real.

Even if this gives us some early spoils, keep in mind that the guild leaders usually don't have their guild's mechanic. The two mono colored cards might have a guild mechanic however...

Trostani does, and Rakdos has his guild's original mechanic. So there's a chance.

Mashayous · 11-17-2012, 02:11 AM

Here's to hoping! Either way, early spoils are very good.

And a boring name to boot. Don't throw these out yet.
