Lookalikes & traps
Borderless and showcase frames of Future Sight / Sliver Legion still need the FUT line; a fancy frame is not a different set by itself. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Future Sight is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code FUT (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Future Sight / Sliver Legion, mismatch between listing title and FUT is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Future Sight cards
- 1
Locate the Future Sight set mark (FUT) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Read black / silver / gold on the Future Sight symbol for common / uncommon / rare — mythic orange is not in this era.
- 3
Verify FUT on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Future Sight get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and FUT still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Future Sight symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic FUT rule.
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.
