This card has been going around allegedly pulled from an M13 pack. What do you guys think, accident, fake, magic promotional stunt?

seen this already. it's convincing enough to be real despite one small printing error.

Gorzo

100% fake. Would never happen, card is too overpowered to be a mythic let alone a common, and is missing copywrite text in the picture. Someone just made a hoax for 15 minutes of fame. Don't give it to him.

Fenster

Probably but Populate seems like too localized to be used for an entire set?
I mean not all guilds will run tokens right?
But maybe.

reread the populae text it isn't broken.

Gorzo

I know how to read. If you don't think copying any token AND making all creatures indestructible at instant speed for only 3 splashable mana isn't broken, then I don't know what to say. Don't talk down assuming I got it wrong because you disagree.

it really isn't broken. if you want to get use out of the indestructibility you have to hold it in your hand. (remember reactive cards are always cheaper than proactive cards). and to get any huge benefit from the token effect you have to already have some kind of dedicated token creator e.g. kikki jikki or {followed footsteps}. at no point did I talk down to you. mu statement was base on the fact that you irt responded to gonu's post in the chatroom where he first put the incorrect text for populate before correcting himself.

Watch it be real, I actually hope that it is. Although, aren't the cards in alphabetical order? Because this guy is 19/274...

alphabetical order by color.
Then it makes sense.
But still how would he get it in a m13 pack?
and two I agree with {Gorzo}. This card is uterlly broken.

InfinitiveDivinity

We'll see once more of the set is revealed to us, but I kinda believe this guy. If it turns out to be fake, oh well? But if it is, this guy has a sweet ice breaker, and a possible highly sought after misprint.

I'm convinced that this was a promotional stunt by Wizards. Populate is a great mechanic.

Xanzurth

I believe it be fake. After reviewing many of the indestructible cards from standard the text does not fit the way MtG has described indestrutibilty in text.

Gorzo

If this by some miracle is real, I'm going to be upset that I got rid of my bajillion {cackling counterpart}s. lol

And scars, my apologies for getting defensive. You have good points, though I still think its too powerful to be real as a common for that mana cost. I only got offended because being told to "re-read" has an insulting overtone to me, which I doubt you meant. Sorry for that.

{break of day}

to gorzo it's cool I can kind of see how I was coming off as insulting. to me this card is just an revised take on {safe passage}
