Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Fate Reforged / Ugin under other codes — matching art is not proof of FRF. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Fate Reforged is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code FRF (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Fate Reforged / Ugin, mismatch between listing title and FRF is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Fate Reforged cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Fate Reforged icon on this page (FRF).
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Fate Reforged: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Cross-check FRF + collector number so Fate Reforged / Ugin is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Fate Reforged symbol: black common (white only in rare one-set exceptions like Dominaria), silver uncommon, gold rare, orange/red-orange mythic. Foil, showcase, and borderless treatments keep the same rarity color — they change finish/frame, not the C/U/R/M letter.
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.
