Lookalikes & traps
Core-set symbols are easy to confuse with contemporaneous expansions when art is reprinted. M14 on the information line is the tie-breaker for Magic 2014. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Magic 2014 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code M14 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Darksteel Forge / Scryfall, mismatch between listing title and M14 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Magic 2014 cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Magic 2014 icon on this page (M14).
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Magic 2014: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Cross-check M14 + collector number so Darksteel Forge / Scryfall is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Magic 2014 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.
