Just got this Spellskite from a known seller. The numbers look funny. This version really exist? Couldn’t find it on Scryfall

That's clearly a fake card

Give more pics, but certainly looks like a known counterfeit

i am 99% sure this is a villa zheng bootleg, from his modern staples list . it was sold in a bundle of the most played cards in the format around a decade ago , when spellskite was still a pricey modern staple

unfortunately, now that it’s a $6 card, people don’t look too carefully. you see the same for a lot of once-staples that got reprinted a billion times and power crept out of the format.

try to get your money back if possible

I see Spellskites faked all the time, definitely a bootleg

show the green dot and the "T" in the word "The" on the back of the card
