That is really good, Silence and Counterspell on a card? This wrecks combo decks, 3 mana though may make it unplayable in Legacy, will likely see play in Modern though

Yeah, kinda Looks like it. The RTR Symbol should be in the middle. Also, it seems awfully convenient that a) he didn't get the Card and b) it was the DGM promo we knew the art of but not the whole Card.
On the other Hand, the effect fits and I think the art is new but fits the style.
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
The DGM rare symbol is easily mistakable for the GTC one on pictures of gold cards since the arc part (of the GTC symbol) is darker and the bell part (of the RTR symbol) is gold like the rest of the frame. This would also explain why it looks like a common GTC symbol.
Look for those pictures of Ruric Thar from PAX East, even with the quality of those pictures being much higher than this one's, you can see how easy it would be to mistake the GTC and DGM symbols on a bad picture.
What convinces me that it is real is the foiling. A fake foil has smudges all over it, this one is foiled on very precise locations. Not to mention that the art is completely new.
Looks certainly sweet! That was a nice find. Thank you, poor sheet cleaners!
(Also, why am I the one that saw that there's things printed under the gate and thought this is really an DGM set symbol?)

Nothing. All I want is Heroes vs. Monsters spoilers.

even if it was a FNM Promo to come then it should be a star like in Ancient Grudge
If it was a DGM FOIL then it should have a DGM simbol and If it is the BUY-A-BOX Promo then (I think) it should be a rare.
EDIT:
If you take a GTC common and try to put light the way this card is and rotate it to fit ----- its the same.
In the year 2013, people still can't take pictures of magic cards that are not blurry.
This card is the buy a box promo, and the collector number line certainly seems to be correct for a buy a box promo. Wouldn't be the first, or last, time promos showed up where they shouldn't.
New art is good. Everything looks right.
Unfortunately, I feel like this card was guessed correctly by the name alone weeks ago.

Asked my source, we'll see what they say. Personally, the symbol looks fake to me, but that's the issue with blurry sideways pictures.
Honestly guys, for the future, if someone's willing to let you take a picture, put it on a table and then take a picture

On the Ruric Thar Picture, the bottom of the Symbol is visible thicker than on this Card. It still looks pretty similar to the GTC symbol, but the difference can be auite easily spotted. (and yesm I did look at a blurry picture)

kkk nice
Also for those that think the simbol can be a DGM blured: compare contrasts in photoshop.
These pictures are like the Bigfoot sighting videos. You want to believe they're real, but the fact that they seem to have <Michael J. Fox holding the camera> all the time doesn't help credibility and makes the whole thing smell like tuna.
Please don't make jokes at other's expense, even if they're not on the forum. -TK

I'm not sure if I like this. Would it hold up well against Red?
