This seems like an answer for Bonfire of the Damned. And tokens need it. That makes it more believable to me.
If it's a fake, it might be the best we've seen... The expansion symbol looks a bit off and theres the issue of the copyright, but it's so well designed that I'm willing to consider that they're taking the copyright off individual cards and WotC's compy made the RTR symbol look a little funky. I'd call fake except for the previously unreleased Zug art.
I'm with Seds on the matter: the single most important aspect of finding out fakes is looking for its artwork on the net. If no one can find it, the card is about 99% real, whatever other arguments there may be.
As of the card, I'm sure that there will be many tokens other than Saprolings to make the mechanic awesome, but getting a single 1/1 is not too shabby, either. In fact, the card's effect is already good without Populate, and might be a great Limited combat trick, similar to Safe Passage.
or ajani goldmane ultimate token. Its not really a bad mechanic especially once you start combining it with stuff like crackling counterpact and other good token makers.

My take is that it's real (for all arguments already presented) and actually a viral marketing for RtR. The fact that:
1. Bruce is a new guy.
2. Yet he knows hwo to contact MaRo in Tumblr, has a MaRo avatar in Tumblr, and MaRo responds to him fast.
3. He's got fuzzy, but actual cardboard in hand so many months in advance.
4. Wizards is not going ballistic about point #3.
5. He needs to go home to make a video, but clearly (to me) the pic was taking in an office.
All that points to a setup.
That guy on Tumblr isn't Bruce, this was posted on other blogs before that one got ahold of it, and ANYONE can contact Maro on Tumblr, hell he's answered a dozen of my questions on there. And #5 its definitely a home, whitewashed walls and blinds, gaming computer (you can tell by the peripherals) and his binder of cards on his desk. Also why the hell would anyone have a mirror in an office next to their computer? lol
I can't believe I'm going into this much detail on a photo like this..

He isn't new to magic, just this forum. There is a magic community outside of this forum, its actually pretty stellar.
He didn't contact MaRo, you're getting confused.
3. He's got fuzzy, but actual cardboard in hand so many months in advance.
Fuzzy?
4. Wizards is not going ballistic about point #3.
You don't know that? Either way, if this was truly in an M13 pack, WoTC can't be mad. They likely intentionally put it in there. (It was in the land slot after all)
5. He needs to go home to make a video, but clearly (to me) the pic was taking in an office.

Picture was taken at his home.
Have a tinfoil hat though.

The card seems nice enough if real (I think so). It's also usable when you lack tokens, so it won't ever be unusable. As for populate as a mechanic... It's proliferate for tokens. Seems balanced on its own. Yes there are ways to abuse it (I.e. Precursor Golem) but nothing format breaking.
Another point that i don't believe has been brought up yet is that the rules text for indestructible should include "lethal damage" as something that doesn't destroy creatures.

Are you sure? Maybe you're actually a DRUG DEALER and the quetips are part of your drug crafting trade! And the government is in on it! They have you faking magic cards to give you a legitimate front!

Populate doesn't target. No interaction with Precursor Golem.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe expert expansions do not define indestructible? Also, mass indestructible seems a bit complex at common die to NWO.

The second pic we got it looks 100% legit to me. Just gut feeling.
The copyright line..well, they could change that at any time. 20th anniversary of Magic seems like a good time to do this.
Mechanic is kinda underwhelming in the creativity department but w/e.

Safe Passage is much better for that.
And I don't think that is really seeing play.

You're right. Doesn't make the card any worse, since the real abuse would come from making a token of something with an EtB effect anyways.
