Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Betrayers / Kamigawa under other codes — matching art is not proof of BOK. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Betrayers of Kamigawa is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code BOK (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Betrayers / Kamigawa, mismatch between listing title and BOK is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Betrayers of Kamigawa cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Betrayers of Kamigawa icon on this page (BOK).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on BOK cards from 2005.
- 3
Cross-check BOK + collector number so Betrayers / Kamigawa 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 Betrayers of Kamigawa symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic BOK 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.
