From the Vault: Legends set symbol

From the Vault: Legends stamps every card in the product with its own expansion icon. Use the silhouette above as the visual key, then confirm set code V11 so remasters cannot pass.

Lookalikes & traps

Binder piles mix From the Vault: Legends with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then V11, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set From the Vault: Legends is.

Confirm after the icon

Bottom information line should show collector number + set code V11 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On From / Vault, mismatch between listing title and V11 is the usual bait-and-switch.

How to identify From the Vault: Legends cards

  1. 1

    Start with the From the Vault: Legends glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this from_the_vault product from guests and remasters.

  2. 2

    Use symbol color for draft rarity on V11, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.

  3. 3

    Confirm set code V11 and the collector number on the information line under the text box.

  4. 4

    Finish with a Tappr scan when From / Vault appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.

Rarity by symbol color

Modern rarity colors on the From the Vault: Legends 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.

Common Black (white in rare exceptions)
Uncommon Silver symbol
Rare Gold symbol
Mythic Rare Orange / bronze (post-Alara)

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.
