Watch the pack this card is in end up in someone's closet for 20 years. Or some kid pulls it and has no idea the value and ruins it.
One card only is a dumb move.

Ending up in someone's closet without anyone else's knowledge would be the preferred outcome for Hasbro. Would keep demand for the product high so Hasbro gets to sell their full print run of collector boxes and game stores would make a killing by pushing the price up past 1000 per box. More likely is that the box the pack is shipped out in gets refused/destroyed.
The kid option realistically has no chance of happening. The card isn't in your normal 4 to 5 dollar booster pack, most stores charge 30 per or you can normally get a box of 12 for 230 (this set is already at 450ish per box). The other thing to remember is that this isn't pokemon. Young children aren't that into magic unless they were introduced to it by their parent who would likely be more aware of the card. Somewhat older children, tweens and younger teens, would probably know the value of the card because half of the content related to tcgs on the internet is money related/hypebeast adjacent.

MTG is so r-slurred I can't even.
The game is alright? But the TCG communities are r-slurred.

Oh jeez. I didn't realize these were being sold at the $30 mark. Figured it was normal booster price.

You pay $5 for the paper equivalent of an A4.
Profit for one card is 10000%

They probably want it hidden for ~3 months during print run and then pulled for the huge marketing opportunity. There will be a million articles about the sold value

The fact people will pay 2 mil for low quality ink and cardboard shows TCG players were the first gacha players and should be bullied intensely.

How hard would it be to forge one of these bad boys?

Unknown, presumably WotC have some way of verifying the card is legit. That hasn't stopped countless Chinese and other counterfeits from popping up already though.
