Survival of the Fittest Judge Promo - Real or Fake? HELP NEEDED

General forum

So I recently just made my largest MTG purchase to date, namely a Survival of the Fittest judge promo.

As soon as I got it in I noticed the foiling process appears to be different than other DCI cards that I have. Only part of the picture is foil. The snake and background are foil -- but the woman and wolf are not (except for the eyes of the woman, the eyes of the snake, and a few gaps in her hair).

I tried to put a few photos of the card, but it's hard to capture it. The thickness of the card seems to be correct. If this is a fake, it's certainly a masterful one.

Picture 2

Picture 3

Perhaps I'm just paranoid, but I want to make sure with a card that costs this much.

Does anyone else own this card? Is your foiling process similar? Any thoughts on it? I couldn't find anything particular on the internet about it.

Isn't that how the foiling is done? Only certain parts of the art are designated to be foiled; the rest are inked so that the foiling appears in the blank spots on the print.

Epochalyptik I mean, it's definitely different than any other foil I've ever seen, but perhaps I'm just ignorant. It's different than other Judge foils I have as well.

maiden77 Can you check your card if it's not too much trouble? Does it have the same thing?

Thanks guys

Was looking at some other photos on the web -- seemed to have the same foiling process, so I'm 99% sure it's real now. Thanks!
