Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Deckmasters / Sulfurous Springs under other codes — matching art is not proof of DKM. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Deckmasters is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code DKM (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Deckmasters / Sulfurous Springs, mismatch between listing title and DKM is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Deckmasters cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Deckmasters icon on this page (DKM).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on DKM cards from 2001.
- 3
Cross-check DKM + collector number so Deckmasters / Sulfurous Springs 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 Deckmasters symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic DKM 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.
