How do I know what edition my MTG cards are?
Figuring out what edition your MTG cards are from can feel like you're decoding ancient ruins, but fear not! Look at the bottom of your card. You'll see a little symbol there - that's the set symbol, which tells you which set the card belongs to. No symbol? You've got yourself a card from the Alpha or Beta sets, the very first ones! Also, the color of the set symbol can tell you the rarity of the card - black for common, silver for uncommon, gold for rare, and shiny green or orange for mythic rare. Another tip is checking the copyright date near the very bottom. It won't give you the exact edition but tells you the year of the set.

Just use the internet, my friend. There are sites where you can type in the card's name and it'll show you every version of that card from every set. It's way easier than trying to memorize symbols or colors!
