Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Stronghold Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PSTH. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Stronghold Promos is.

How to identify Stronghold Promos cards
- 1
Find the expansion symbol on the type line and match it to the Stronghold Promos icon on this page (PSTH).
- 2
Ignore modern black/silver/gold/orange rarity folklore — Stronghold Promos predates Exodus color coding.
- 3
Cross-check PSTH + collector number so Stronghold Promos / Revenant is not priced under the wrong product line.

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.
