Welcome Deck 2016 set symbol

Binder piles mix Welcome Deck 2016 with adjacent Standard sets. Silhouette first, then W16, before you trust a lot listing title. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Welcome Deck 2016 is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code W16 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Welcome Deck / Soul, mismatch between listing title and W16 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Welcome Deck 2016 cards
- 1
Start with the Welcome Deck 2016 glyph silhouette; art style alone will not separate this starter product from guests and remasters.
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on W16, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Confirm set code W16 and the collector number on the information line under the text box.
- 4
Finish with a Tappr scan when Welcome Deck / Soul appears under multiple set codes in the same lot.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Welcome Deck 2016 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.
