Lookalikes & traps
Draft-innovation products get filed next to premier sets in binders. Match the Modern Horizons 2 glyph and MH2 before using Standard-completion math. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Modern Horizons 2 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code MH2 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Modern Horizons / Esper Sentinel, mismatch between listing title and MH2 is the usual bait-and-switch.
