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.
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.
I personally prefer 75 islands. There is nothing than the look on your opponents face once they start trying to play around your counter magic and you know you're sitting on a deck full of islands and nothing else.
It also allows you to board in 15 cards and completely mess with their head between the boarded games.
I'd urge everyone to let the OP handle contact with this person. I don't think the seller would appreciate getting 67 phone calls in the middle of the night and I doubt that would increase our chances of getting scans.

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...
All of New Phyrexia was spoiled by a pro with an NDA if you recall.
I'm usually pretty skeptical, but this seems like it just might be legit. Hopefully we'll have some concrete knowledge either way when I awaken tomorrow afternoon.
I'm surprised this listing has been up since the 12th. Surprising to me it took this long for someone to find this and that wotc didn't find it and shut this guy down. The names all sound pretty legitimate as well. Man it'd be sweet if we got pictures. It's going to suck for the guy when he gets megafired but do you really think pbm will lose their contract over this? I mean how many facilities are there that can manufacture magic cards and how hard would it be to transfer production?

Attaching the images from the craigslist ad. If this goes against some rule that I can't recall, then you can just look up the ad via the info given within the OP.
That being said, how hard is it to fake a foil card?

According to some in the card altering threads not hard, but after scanning these cards why would anyone make such bad fakes? Rade is the only one that seems relatively playable at the moment

Could be that they're playing on the fact that Wizards also prints "bad" cards. Kind of like a reverse psychology.
Regarding the authenticity of the cards, I find it a little weird that Domri is pretty small within his card frame. Seems like it should offer more of a close-up with something popping out of the frame.

He is trying to sell them for $45 a pop and suggested they were all powerful and warranted such a price tag in my conversation with him. I don't believe it's reverse psychology on the seller's part.

Praise be the spoiler gods. These look pretty dang legit.
Edit, spoke too soon, Domri doesn't pop out of the frame these are fake, darn.

Edit: Although close look maybe not so amazing work. Something is really wrong with Borborygmos.
