Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Invasion Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PINV. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Invasion Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PINV (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Invasion Promos, mismatch between listing title and PINV is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Invasion Promos cards
- 1
Start with the Invasion Promos glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this promo product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on PINV cards from 2000.
- 3
Confirm set code PINV and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Invasion Promos appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Invasion Promos symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PINV rule.
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.
