Authenticity High. Correct set symbol (GRN), standard 2018 copyright footer, correct font kerning, and transition lines. No red flags for a low-value card.

Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Do not sell individually as shipping costs will exceed the card's value. Bundle with other 'Guilds of Ravnica' cards or sell in 'Basic Land Packs' of 50-100 to attract newer players or deck builders. Mentions of the artist Richard Wright can help searchability.
