Eventide set symbol
Eventide stamps every card in the product with its own expansion icon. Use the silhouette above as the visual key, then confirm set code EVE so remasters cannot pass.

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

Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Eventide symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic EVE rule.
How do I confirm a Eventide card quickly?
Icon match → rarity reading for this era → EVE + collector number. Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Eventide / Ward under other codes — matching art is not proof of EVE.. Tappr can finish the printing match when the listing is ambiguous.
