Lookalikes & traps
Remasters, Special Guests, and Commander decks reprint Strixhaven / School under other codes — matching art is not proof of STX. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Strixhaven: School of Mages is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code STX (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Strixhaven / School, mismatch between listing title and STX is the usual bait-and-switch.

Rarity by symbol color
Modern rarity colors on the Strixhaven: School of Mages 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.
