Lookalikes & traps
Reprint risk is high on evergreen Commander staples; confirm WHO before paying “original print” money for Doctor Who / Cybermen Squadron. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Doctor Who is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code WHO (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Doctor Who / Cybermen Squadron, mismatch between listing title and WHO is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Doctor Who cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Doctor Who icon on this page (WHO).
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on WHO, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Cross-check WHO + collector number so Doctor Who / Cybermen Squadron is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Commander product symbol colors still use black/silver/gold/orange for draft-style rarity marks when present, but precon staples are not sealed-chase mythics by default. Read WHO so you do not price a deck-exclusive printing as a draft-booster Doctor Who mythic.
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.
