Methoden zum Erkennen gefälschter Magic-Karten
Kein einzelner Test ist für sich allein ein Beweis. Führe mehrere durch — beginne mit den kostenlosen Checks ohne Hilfsmittel und bestätige dann mit einer Lupe. Jede Anleitung zeigt, wie echte und gefälschte Karten aussehen, und führt dich Schritt für Schritt durch.
Light test
Holding a card up to a strong light reveals how its inner core layer blocks light — one of the most reliable, no-tool tests.
Print/rosette test
Under magnification, genuine offset printing forms a flower-like 'rosette' pattern; many fakes show a different, grid-like dot structure.
Green dot test
Inside the green dot on the card back, genuine cards hide four tiny red dots in an L-shape — a microprint many fakes miss.
The 'T' test
The letter 'T' in 'The' on the card back has a deliberate edge texture — wavy on two sides, smooth on one — that fakes tend to flatten.
Bend test
A gentle flex tells you a lot: genuine cards have a springy, consistent feel and snap back flat, while many fakes feel stiff, flimsy, or stay bent.
Weight test
Genuine cards fall within a narrow weight range; a card well outside it is worth a closer look.
Back comparison
Every genuine card shares the same back. Laying a suspect next to a known-genuine card exposes color and pattern differences quickly.
Font test
Typography is precise on genuine cards. Wrong weight, spacing, or fuzzy mana symbols are common fake tells.
Rip test
Tearing a card reveals its inner core. Genuine cards show a distinctive blue-black line; this destroys the card, so it is only for worthless commons.
