I know it is most likely fake, but if it is real then it is RIDICULOUS

Well, the art matches Kev Walker's style, and we haven't seen that piece before. It could be from 5D, but it fits this so well.

edit: 5D = Fifth Dawn, aka the new set that's coming out this month. The one with the preview cards you've been discussing, Tony.

The art doesn't really match 5th dawn all that well, so I don't think they ripped it from that.

It is most likely a Judge promo as the site states, if it is indeed real.

The Judge mailings are going out, so if I end up with one, I'll let you all know. Smile

No, my point is that the art could be for a different card, and someone photoshopped it on--like they did with the "land tax" from Judgement.

Yeah, I realized what you meant about 30 seconds ago, but couldn't edit in time. Razz

Magiclibrary.net has the card listed as a DCI Judge promo...it's most likely real. The real question now:

Foil Balance > Beta Balance  Confused

And I still haven't picked up my foil intuitions yet...

The only reason foil Balance would be more pimp than Beta is if that only 6 are printed.

I remember the first foil judge promo Vampiric Tutor that went for $300 on eBay back in the day.  That was great.

This card should settle down in the $40-50 range once the buzz dies down...maybe even less considering that it's a restricted card.

I totally clicked on this thread expecting a "NSFW! BOOBIES!" link, and was sorely disappointed, even though I <3 the white cards.

We were supposed to get these for Christmas already, actually. WotC is the slow. I thought it would have the original art though. Glad it doesn't.

the good part of this story should be that if this "balance" is a "2 of 6 series"  we have 4 other cards to add to our t1 pimp collection of cards.. Wink

But.. What is the first one of this  G04 series?

That one doesn't say "1 of 6", wompy. It looks like it's part of a set of 3.
