Lookalikes & traps
Borderless and showcase frames of Amonkhet / Anointed Procession still need the AKH line; a fancy frame is not a different set by itself. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Amonkhet is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code AKH (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Amonkhet / Anointed Procession, mismatch between listing title and AKH is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Amonkhet cards
- 1
Locate the Amonkhet set mark (AKH) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Amonkhet: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Verify AKH on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Amonkhet get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and AKH still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Amonkhet symbol: black common (white only in rare one-set exceptions like Dominaria), silver uncommon, gold rare, orange/red-orange mythic. Foil, showcase, and borderless treatments keep the same rarity color — they change finish/frame, not the C/U/R/M letter.
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.
