Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Guildpact / Steam Vents under other codes — matching art is not proof of GPT. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Guildpact is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code GPT (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Guildpact / Steam Vents, mismatch between listing title and GPT is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Guildpact cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Guildpact icon on this page (GPT).
- 2
Read black / silver / gold on the Guildpact symbol for common / uncommon / rare — mythic orange is not in this era.
- 3
Cross-check GPT + collector number so Guildpact / Steam Vents 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 Guildpact symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic GPT 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.
