Lookalikes & traps
Commander precon printings of Commander / Goblin Sharpshooter share characters with draft sets. Deck-exclusive frames still carry their own product code — not a random C13 from memory. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Commander 2013 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code C13 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Commander / Goblin Sharpshooter, mismatch between listing title and C13 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Commander 2013 cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Commander 2013 icon on this page (C13).
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Commander 2013: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Cross-check C13 + collector number so Commander / Goblin Sharpshooter is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Commander product symbol colors still use black/silver/gold/orange for draft-style rarity marks when present, but precon staples are not sealed-chase mythics by default. Read C13 so you do not price a deck-exclusive printing as a draft-booster Commander 2013 mythic.
Legend shows the modern post-Exodus palette. Pre-Exodus sets and special rarities (for example Time Spiral purple timeshifted) follow the rarity reading above — not this swatch row alone.
