Unhinged set symbol
Identify Unhinged by the unique set mark shown here (UNH). Older frames may place related marks differently, but the information line still carries the modern set code when present.

Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Unhinged / City under other codes — matching art is not proof of UNH. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Unhinged is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code UNH (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Unhinged / City, mismatch between listing title and UNH is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Unhinged cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Unhinged icon on this page (UNH).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on UNH cards from 2004.
- 3
Cross-check UNH + collector number so Unhinged / City is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Unhinged symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic UNH 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.
