Battle for Zendikar Promos set symbol

Lookalikes & traps

Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Battle for Zendikar Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PBFZ. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Battle for Zendikar Promos is.

Confirm after the icon

Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PBFZ (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Battle / Zendikar Promos, mismatch between listing title and PBFZ is the usual bait-and-switch.

How to identify Battle for Zendikar Promos cards

  1. 1

    Start with the Battle for Zendikar Promos glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this promo product from guests and remasters.

  2. 2

    Use symbol color for draft rarity on PBFZ, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.

  3. 3

    Confirm set code PBFZ and the collector number on the information line under the text box.

  4. 4

    Finish with a Tappr scan when Battle / Zendikar Promos appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.

Rarity by symbol color

Special product (promo): rarity color may still follow modern conventions when a symbol is present, but SKU/treatment beats draft-rarity folklore. Verify PBFZ and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Battle.

Common Black (white in rare exceptions)
Uncommon Silver symbol
Rare Gold symbol
Mythic Rare Orange / bronze (post-Alara)

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.
