What does the Portal set symbol look like?

Portal uses a unique expansion symbol — the icon shown at the top of this page — printed on every card in the set. On a rare or mythic rare it appears in gold or orange; on commons it's black.

What is the Portal set code?

The three- or four-letter set code for Portal is “POR”. You'll see it in the bottom-left of each card next to the collector number.

How do I tell what rarity a Portal card is?

Look at the color of the set symbol: black = common, silver = uncommon, gold = rare, orange/bronze = mythic rare. Special and bonus-sheet cards may use their own treatments.

How can I identify a Portal card quickly?

Scan it with Tappr. The app recognizes the artwork and expansion symbol together and returns the exact set, collector number, rarity, and live market price in seconds.
