Magic 2013 set symbol

Lookalikes & traps
White-border vs black-border eras matter for older cores; do not price a M13 reprint as the earliest expansion printing of Worldfire / Scryfall. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Magic 2013 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code M13 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Worldfire / Scryfall, mismatch between listing title and M13 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Magic 2013 cards
- 1
Start with the Magic 2013 glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this core product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on M13, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Confirm set code M13 and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Worldfire / Scryfall appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Magic 2013 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.
