Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Torment Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PTOR. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Torment Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PTOR (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Torment Promos, mismatch between listing title and PTOR is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Torment Promos cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Torment Promos icon on this page (PTOR).
- 2
Apply Exodus-era color rules only: no mythic orange on PTOR cards from 2002.
- 3
Cross-check PTOR + collector number so Torment 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 Torment Promos symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PTOR 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.
