Lookalikes & traps
Alchemy / digital-only lines must not be priced as paper Alchemy / Tarkir. If there is no paper YTDM card, stop at identification — there is no TCGplayer comps path. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Alchemy: Tarkir is.
Confirm after the icon
Confirm whether YTDM exists on paper. If the card is digital-only, identification stops there — Tappr will not invent a paper market row.
How to identify Alchemy: Tarkir cards
- 1
Locate the Alchemy: Tarkir set mark (YTDM) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Alchemy: Tarkir: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Verify YTDM on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Alchemy: Tarkir get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and YTDM still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Digital / Arena-adjacent product (YTDM): do not assume paper rarity-color habits map to a sellable paper printing. Confirm whether a paper card with this set code even exists before reading black/silver/gold/orange as a buylist signal.
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.
