Lookalikes & traps
Borderless and showcase frames of Unsanctioned / Booster Tutor still need the UND line; a fancy frame is not a different set by itself. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Unsanctioned is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code UND (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Unsanctioned / Booster Tutor, mismatch between listing title and UND is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Unsanctioned cards
- 1
Locate the Unsanctioned set mark (UND) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Unsanctioned: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Verify UND on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Unsanctioned get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and UND still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Unsanctioned 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.
