Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Gatecrash Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PGTC. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Gatecrash Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PGTC (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Gatecrash Promos / Zameck Guildmage, mismatch between listing title and PGTC is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Gatecrash Promos cards
- 1
Start with the Gatecrash Promos glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this promo product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on Gatecrash Promos: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Confirm set code PGTC and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Gatecrash Promos / Zameck Guildmage appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Special product (promo): rarity color may still follow modern conventions when a symbol is present, but SKU/treatment beats draft-rarity folklore. Verify PGTC and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Gatecrash Promos.
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.
