The List set symbol
Identify The List by the unique set mark shown here (PLST). Older frames may place related marks differently, but the information line still carries the modern set code when present.

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

Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the The List 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.
FAQ
What does the The List set symbol look like?
Identify The List by the unique set mark shown here (PLST). Older frames may place related marks differently, but the information line still carries the modern set code when present. Reprints of Ancient Tomb / Scryfall under other codes keep different glyphs — match the icon, then PLST.
What is the The List set code?
The set code is PLST. It appears with the collector number on modern cards. If you see a different code, you are not holding the The List printing even when the name matches.
How do I read rarity on a The List card?
Modern rarity colors on the The List 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.
How do I confirm a The List card quickly?
Icon match → rarity reading for this era → PLST + collector number. Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Ancient Tomb / Scryfall under other codes — matching art is not proof of PLST.. Tappr can finish the printing match when the listing is ambiguous.
