adding little to nothing on their own but creating huge efficiency gains whenever they can recur, protect or fizzle a more important card for a fraction of its total mana cost
Thats because auctions limit the amount of time you can get eyes on your listing while also filtering out buyers who dont immediately have the capital on hand (but who would otherwise be interested in buying at a later time)
However, sometimes these cards can be balanced with some changes to their text, so they are unbanned when these changes take place
In the hypothetical situation where someone is able to maintain perfectly crisp edges, there is one more method for spotting fakes, but it is difficult to photograph, and when buying cards online you might be dealing with imperfect information (so I wont go into those details in this guide)
