Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Planechase Anthology / Sakashima's Student under other codes — matching art is not proof of PCA. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Planechase Anthology is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PCA (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Planechase Anthology / Sakashima's Student, mismatch between listing title and PCA is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Planechase Anthology cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Planechase Anthology icon on this page (PCA).
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on PCA, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Cross-check PCA + collector number so Planechase Anthology / Sakashima's Student is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Planechase Anthology 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.
