Lookalikes & traps

Binder piles mix Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then DDH, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas is.

Confirm after the icon

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

How to identify Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas cards

  1. 1

    Start with the Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this duel_deck product from guests and remasters.

  2. 2

    Read rarity from symbol color on Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Finish with a Tappr scan when Duel Decks / Ajani appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.

Rarity by symbol color

Modern rarity colors on the Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas symbol: black common (white only in rare one-set exceptions like Dominaria), silver uncommon, gold rare, orange/red-orange mythic.

Mythic Rare Orange / bronze (post-Alara)
