Zendikar Fake Spoilers

~

If one wished to garner the communal hatred of the Magic The Gathering community, just post fake spoilers. We at MTG Realm however enjoy seeing the fakes.

Firstly, most often, these fabrications do take a degree of imagination as well as a fair measure of time to produce and we should rather applaud the efforts of those mischievous rapscallions. Secondly, these obfuscations provide entertainment. In the way only a puzzle can present, are we challenged to use our cognitive or perceptual powers of the mind to answer the question, 'is this spoiler really a piece of postiche?'.

Here we present an image gathered from a Magic the Gathering fan site based in southeastern Europe (that should tell you something right there). Go to work and put on a deerstalker hat, grab your calabash pipe and become Sherlock Holmes for a few moments . . .
