Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Time Spiral Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PTSP. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Time Spiral Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PTSP (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Time Spiral Promos, mismatch between listing title and PTSP is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Time Spiral Promos cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Time Spiral Promos icon on this page (PTSP).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on PTSP cards from 2006.
- 3
Cross-check PTSP + collector number so Time Spiral Promos is not priced under the wrong product line.

Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Time Spiral Promos symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PTSP rule.
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.
