Ugin is going to get really bad once all the fatties are colourless. I sold all mine. Sell sell sell!
He's going to be absolutely rotten. Hangarback walker has already nerfed him quite significantly. I reckon he'll be $3 junk within 2 months of rotation
Speechless... If this is true (& not a hoax), we're talking mad money. Thinking about it... leaning towards hoax. Why would the card also be called "Hour of Devastation?"
There is no link to the source. Without a link, nothing to believe in.
Yeah, I am calling fake. If Wizards doesnt want a white 4 mana wrath, I don't see how they could print a black 4 mana wrath that is better than Wrath of God.
I'm leaning towards fake as well, but I just want to add that the flavor text say "None are worthy", something which (if this card is real) would be very strange considering the whole point of the trials on Amonkhet. Either this is another hint that this card is fake, or Bolas not only lied about the purpose of the trials, but also didn't actually care for the "worthy" at all. Just a thought.

I have believed for a long time now that Bolas lied about the purpose of the trials, but nonetheless, I believe this card is fake for many reasons.
Not the least of which being the pixellated areas of text and mana cost.
Wizards almost never uses product key art in actual cards, fyi.
Also because the faker doesn't have access to the real high res version of the art, they decided to resize and blow up the key art image for the background and create a ton of jpeg artifacts which is extremely unprofessional and not like Wizards.
Also, the font below the card would probably be in Wizards' Beleren font.
Overall a C- quality job, conveniently using the only piece of HOU artwork floating around.
There's a grammar error in the text as well. "Perde" is singular and should be "Perdem", the plural form, because it is referring to creatures, plural.
There's just too much wrong with this card. The name of the set is never the name of a card in the set.
The art is the only art we have as individual art from the set (so the only one to make a fake from).
The art doesn't match up with the ability.
The flavor text contradicts the whole flavor set up of the block.
etc etc.
Verdict: fake.
And yes, I totally accept those 5c Dragon cards as being real.
Going to call fake. There are too many red flags about this.

Well, none are worthy is totally something Bolas would say. He's a dick and would totally do that. I mean it looks like he murdered everyone old enough to remember on a whole damn plane and possibly 3 gods. That's totally insanely evil. Conflux was also in Conflux so they would name a card the same thing as a set. The card is also reasonably powered and they said most wraths would be 5, not every wrath from here on out. It's certainly a possible card.
It's not too pushed for standard. They said we might see 4 cmc wraths in the future. The problem with always having Day of Judgment or something is that it crimps design space like always having Lightning Bolt.
If this was real, the "-Nicol Bolas, God Pharaoh" would be italicized
Also, there would be no space between the dash and the word "Nicol". This is definitely fake.

This would have been a super flavorful card if real. While the effect can be gotten from exiling, making the gods lose indestructible then destroying them is much more resonant. I could definitely see a card with this effect being in the set, although it would probably cost 3BB.
I'm thankful for the army of vigilant people who nitpick every element of a new card to see if it's fake: I don't care about collector numbers, or where the art came from, or any of that crap.
It's still a shame that people feel the need to waste their time and everyone else's by making high quality fakes. Now I'm just going to feel robbed of a 4cc wrath that never existed. Thanks random troll.
The verdict?
Also, rough translation if I know muh Porteguese,
"All creatures lose indestructible until end of turn.
Destroy all creatures."

This would also cost 3BB at the very least.

That's the box art
They never ever do box art on cards.
