Dissension set symbol
The Dissension expansion symbol (DIS, 2006) sits on the right of the type line on modern frames — match that glyph to the icon on this page, not a later reprint of the same characters.

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