Its hard to say either way.  Because the card is on someone's hand, real-ness is impiled, BUT it looks like it could be faked.  What I mean is:  it looks like a card was created in photoshop ("shopped") and then the image was super-imposed on an image of a hand.  I say this because the border between the card and the hand looks a bit off.  However, if that was done, it was done very well (look at the shadow in the lower-left corner).  

As for the card itself, I can believe it.  The ability is ok, but expensive enough to be believable (see: mana cost of Wrath).

Second link doesnt work.  

Despite the fact that the symbol looks a bit too yellow, I believe it now.

Not to mention that it's a Zombie, and there aren't supposed to be any Zombies in this block.

Why could there not be Zombies in Kamigawa?  There are Samurai legends of the warriors going to do battles with the Living Dead in Feudal Japan, and Kamigawa is sorta Japanese tinted.
And, supposedly, Resident Evil is one of the most popular movies and computer games in Japan right now.

It does not really matter to me if Zombies are in the 2nd or 3rd installment of Kamigawa, since they are generally black creatures, but if they do appear, I would not be overly surprised.

Forgetting the card, *is* the picture fake?

yes, I admit it.  I superimposed the picture of the card.

Wizards said that they wanted Zombies out as they didn't want to blur the line between the living world and the spirit world.  I'd tend to think they'd stick with something like that for the whole block.

Rancored_Elf has declared it a fake through one of his reliable sources.
