Lookalikes & traps
White-border vs black-border eras matter for older cores; do not price a 10E reprint as the earliest expansion printing of Tenth Edition / Doubling Cube. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Tenth Edition is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code 10E (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Tenth Edition / Doubling Cube, mismatch between listing title and 10E is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Tenth Edition cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Tenth Edition icon on this page (10E).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on 10E cards from 2007.
- 3
Cross-check 10E + collector number so Tenth Edition / Doubling Cube 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 Tenth Edition symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic 10E 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.
