Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside The Brothers' War Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PBRO. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set The Brothers' War Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PBRO (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Portal / Phyrexia, mismatch between listing title and PBRO is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify The Brothers' War Promos cards
- 1
Locate the The Brothers' War Promos set mark (PBRO) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Read rarity from symbol color on The Brothers' War Promos: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare, orange mythic — foil sheen does not change it.
- 3
Verify PBRO on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where The Brothers' War Promos get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and PBRO still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
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 PBRO and the collector number before comparing to a main-set printing of Portal.
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.
