I recently purchased a play set of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon from Ebay. A few things have stood out that make me believe the cards are fake. The first thing I noticed was the back of the cards where the coloring and resolution are off compared to my other cards. On the front the black borders are fuzzy and the holo stamp only shows one planeswalker symbol and nothing else. Also the holo stamp feels like a sticker put on top of the card, which is not something I have felt with other cards. I tried the light test and significantly less light comes through. I also noticed that the corners are rounder than my other cards.
The only reason I am not certain at this point is that I do not have any other cards from Fate Reforged to compare to. I compared to some Tarkir cards, but I do not know if there is something unique about Fate Reforged that could explain the discrepancies. Also I bought the cards from a seller in Brazil. I do not know if the cards in Brazil are somehow different from cards you would find in the US.
That holostamp is a flat out forgery/fake/counterfeit.
