I don't know, but the picture doesn't immediately look fake.

Seeing someone holding likely the most valuable Magic card in history unsleeved and bare-handed, with their fingerprints on the flat faces of the card is enough to give any card collector an aneurysm, though

Its fake. The whole card isnt supposed to be foil, just the lettering. This is a pretty good fake but also pretty obvious.

It's nice that this one is expensive purely as a curiosity for collectors; unlike the Power 9 (or other pricey cards in general, especially on the Reserved List) it doesn't gatekeep access to any actual game format. I approve of Wizards partitioning their product into "pieces used to play a game" and "fancy art pieces".

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not even in a pack yet.
