Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Coldsnap Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PCSP. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Coldsnap Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PCSP (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Coldsnap Promos, mismatch between listing title and PCSP is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Coldsnap Promos cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Coldsnap Promos icon on this page (PCSP).
- 2
Read black / silver / gold on the Coldsnap Promos symbol for common / uncommon / rare — mythic orange is not in this era.
- 3
Cross-check PCSP + collector number so Coldsnap Promos 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 Coldsnap Promos symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PCSP 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.
