206 - Expansion Symbol
- 206.1 - The expansion symbol indicates which Magic set a card is from. It's
normally printed below the right edge of the illustration.
[CompRules 2006/10/01]
- 206.2 - The color of the expansion symbol indicates the rarity of the card
within its set. A gold symbol indicates the card is rare. A silver
expansion symbol indicates the card is uncommon. A black or white
expansion symbol indicates the card is common or is a basic land. A
purple expansion symbol signifies a special rarity; to date, only the
Time Spiral(tm) "timeshifted" cards, which were rarer than that set's rare
cards, have had purple expansion symbols. (Prior to the Exodus(tm) set,
all expansion symbols were black, regardless of rarity. Also, prior to
the Sixth Edition core set, Magic core sets didn't have expansion symbols
at all.) [CompRules 2006/10/01]
- 206.3 - A spell or ability that affects cards from a particular set "looks"
only for that set's expansion symbol. A card reprinted in the core set
receives the core set's expansion symbol. Any reprinted version of the
card no longer counts as part of its original set unless it was reprinted
with that set's expansion symbol. The first five editions of the core set
had no expansion symbol. [CompRules 2006/10/01]
