The font is off due to the way PDF programs handle rendering fonts. Notice that "regular" sized text is fine, it's only the smaller text that is off. Whatever PDF program is being used to display the file probably didn't have the correct font & size so it substituted it with a close approximation.
I deal with PDFs at work. It depends on how the original PDF is created.
Yeah, we have seen this exact font error on many, many real spoiled cards in the past. Looks legit. If not, someone spent WAYYYYYYYY too much time on it.
Anyone else notice the tab in the bottom left of the pics, "spoiler list" in what looks like some kind of paint program..hmmmmmhmhmm.
have u ever taken a screenshot in windows? it saves it to the clipboard...u gotta paste it somewhere like paint to be able to save it as an image file.
does anyone remember when deus of calamity was spoiled? it was spoiled in a pdf, sent from wizards to stores. despite coming from wizards, many called fake because magic fonts in pdf look really weird. these cards look exactly like that and all other officail magic pdfs i've seen since. i call real.
also, instant speed 'discard your hand' on a stick seems pretty redonk. obviously it costs infinite mana, but it's only being played as a sideboard card in the control mirror.
i'm also suprised to see the 0 mana counterspell people were contemplating. counterspells, even conditional ones, that can be played in any colour decks? seems pretty awesome in eternal formats. 2 life to stop dark ritual seems a lot better than 1 life and a blue card, especially if you have no other blue cards in your deck. it's not mindbreak trap, but it helps.
Dunno, getting multiples of them would suck. Plus it's only a half-answer to titans. It *might* have a place in Tezzerator or some newly formed NPH archetype.
Also, as far as the validity of these spoils are concerned, the new pictures reinforce its validity, and I think the formatting issues are due to either being an earlier draft and/or being formatted in PDF file format.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.

The bigger question is why the Karn is awkward (name, spacing).
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
You guys can go on and on but FINALLY they print a spell snare for CMC 1 that's what I'm looking forward to. Pay 2 life, counter SDT, StP, bolt, etc. etc. that card is sick. And ANY deck can play it, not just blue decks. Zoo could play the card. Burn could play it. This will probably shake up eternal formats if printed IMO. Jin Gitaxias if real is the best EDH general. Period. Torpor Orb is the coolest card ever though it seems sweet.
Overall, good selection of cards though. I'm super excited for this set now.
Also, what about the cards that are hidden? I see unwinding clock there which is what I'm most interested in but I can't see the abilities.
And torpor orb + dreadnought someone just said? That's hilarious.
Despise is weird. I though they said they'd never print a card that specifically mentioned planeswalkers. Oh well, change for the best I hope
Well remember, that was early on when they didn't realize how powerful they could be...now it's pretty apparant that they NEED specific answers to avoid messes like the standard we have now where it's mostly dominated by Jace.
Torpor Orb = Oo La La! Hose CawGo for 2 mana? Yes Please! It even makes UW Tempered Steel's God Hand capable of locking that deck out of the game on turn 1! (Land, Mox, 2x Memnite/Ornithopter, Torpor Orb). Quite balanced too, being an artifact and all.
Beast Within looks awesome. Instant speed Maelstrom Pulse effect in green? Super splashable. A wonderful catch-all card.

Despise, Beast from Within, and Apostle's Blessing to a lesser degree.
Also, Torpor Orb seems like an answer to Squadron Hawk, Stoneforge Mystic, Titans, and other things. Very, very good. (if real)

People were disappointed in Sword of Feast and Famine when it was spoiled. That pretty much says it all.
Hope these are real.

lastly... what's the land do! : )
Gitaxias looks cool though. Another enticing general option for some...

Because he took screenshots then pasted them in paint and saved them as images. That resizing is probably what is messing upt the font.

I really thought that's what the real name was going to be.
SoWaP, if real, looks good to me. I wonder how phyrexia's core will be different from Mirrodin's Core.
