Lookalikes & traps
White-border vs black-border eras matter for older cores; do not price a M15 reprint as the earliest expansion printing of Urborg, Tomb / Yawgmoth. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Magic 2015 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code M15 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Urborg, Tomb / Yawgmoth, mismatch between listing title and M15 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Magic 2015 cards
- 1
Locate the Magic 2015 set mark (M15) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on M15, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Verify M15 on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Magic 2015 get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and M15 still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Magic 2015 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.
