So this came in the mail today from TCGPlayer seller All Cs Gaming. I have no idea if they knowingly sold a fake. I had a feeling that it was fake when I first saw it, but looking at it nothing jumped out as super obvious except the yellow pin line at the top of the border being off. The set symbol looked good, and the back actually looked way better than most fakes I've seen, although the color of the purplish oval line was a bit off. Overall the card looks a little washed out next to a real one, and on closer inspection the rosette pattern is off. It's also a little too glossy, but the fakes are definitely getting better.
One important thing I noticed: I measured the thickness of several real Tempest cards with a digital caliper, and a bunch of other real cards, and the thickness on every single one was between 12.5 and 13 thousandths of an inch. The thickness of the fake was 11-11.5 thousandths. Something to keep in mind. So yeah I'm 99% sure this is fake but I'll send it to TCGPlayer to check out.

If you can cast a spell, you're doing well, If you can't, that's okay, too. It usually takes a few turns before you have enough mana to do anything. Meanwhile, you should figure out whether you need to discard (p.11). Then announce the end of your turn, and let your opponent have a go.
