Binder piles mix Time Spiral Timeshifted with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then TSB, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Time Spiral Timeshifted is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code TSB (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Time Spiral Timeshifted / Darkness, mismatch between listing title and TSB is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Time Spiral Timeshifted cards
- 1
Start with the Time Spiral Timeshifted glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this expansion product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on TSB cards from 2006.
- 3
Confirm set code TSB and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Time Spiral Timeshifted / Darkness appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Time Spiral Timeshifted symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic TSB 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.
