Binder piles mix Archenemy: Nicol Bolas with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then E01, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Archenemy: Nicol Bolas is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code E01 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Archenemy / Nicol Bolas, mismatch between listing title and E01 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Archenemy: Nicol Bolas cards
- 1
Start with the Archenemy: Nicol Bolas glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this archenemy product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on E01, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Confirm set code E01 and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Archenemy / Nicol Bolas appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Archenemy: Nicol Bolas 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.
