Lookalikes & traps
Promo stamps and prerelease marks sit beside Mercadian Masques Promos art. Confirm the promo set code rather than assuming booster-pack PMMQ. Also watch foil vs nonfoil: sheen does not change which set Mercadian Masques Promos is.
Confirm after the icon
Bottom information line should show collector number + set code PMMQ (and usually a C/U/R/M rarity letter). On Mercadian Masques Promos, mismatch between listing title and PMMQ is the usual bait-and-switch.
How to identify Mercadian Masques Promos cards

Rarity by symbol color
Exodus-through-pre-mythic rules: black common, silver uncommon, gold rare on the Mercadian Masques Promos symbol. Mythic orange does not apply yet (Shards of Alara, 2008). Purple timeshifted is a Time Spiral-family exception, not a generic PMMQ 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.
