Lookalikes & traps
Draft-innovation products get filed next to premier sets in binders. Match the Modern Horizons glyph and MH1 before using Standard-completion math. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Modern Horizons is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code MH1 (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Modern Horizons / Force, mismatch between listing title and MH1 is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Modern Horizons cards
- 1
Locate the Modern Horizons set mark (MH1) before you trust the card name — reprints reuse names across products.
- 2
Use symbol color for draft rarity on MH1, then treat showcase/borderless as a separate finish check.
- 3
Verify MH1 on the bottom line; listings that only show the card name are where Modern Horizons get mixed with siblings.
- 4
If icon and MH1 still disagree with a marketplace title, scan with Tappr rather than guessing from art.
Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Modern Horizons 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.
