Avacyn Restored Rumor - Avacyn Card Fake or Real

Hello folks and welcome to yet another edition of the emporium, today I figured it is best to break down the latest rumor floating around the MTGSalvation boards, in which a card popped up called Avacyn, Archangel of Innistrad but in today's edition i'll be breaking the card down in bits and pieces, examining each spot of it, so without further ado let's begin.


Now first off with this particular card, yes i know this particular art is done by Jason Chan, that's legitimate in my eyes, that's all that's legitimate here, since this was the preview piece floating around when Avacyn Restored was officially announced here ---> Avacyn Restored.

I'd like to bring your attention first to the mana cost of the card, story line wise Avacyn was created by Sorin and we all know sorin is White/Black, wouldn't that put her in those colors as well to start with, since she was his creation, so already one piece of the puzzle has been shattered.

My next piece of evidence supporting the White/Black theory comes in at the title, it is way too small for a real card, the way each letter is printed is not the regular basis of a magic card period, you can look at pretty much every card printed to confirm this factor.

Her abilites alone are lack luster, no periods at the end of each ability also give me reason to believe this is a fake card, since apparently this was just presented to MTGSalvation, however this has been floating around the web for a week now, according to a source on the site, I mean Flying and Protection from Demons, copy pasta much here, let's see how many angels have that particular ability in my memory, Baneslayer Angel, etc.

Besides her last ability is also lame as hell, Humans you control have protection from Non Humans, gee that's lame, there's no cards that do that in this block, yet, still it's very lame, very lack luster and shows that people will show off anything, including the fact this art in the card above is for the booster boxes for the set, thanks to someone at sally for pointing it, they know who they are.

Anyways final judgment on this particular card is a big fat FAKE and if anyone has any convincing evidence otherwise, let me know in the comments below, but until next time this is vergil signing off.
