• 212.1a Most card sets feature collector numbers. This information is printed in the form [card number]/[total cards in the set] or simply [card number]. Some cards, such as unique cards in Planeswalker Decks, have card numbers that exceed the listed total number of cards.
• 212.1b A card’s rarity is indicated with a single letter following the collector number.
• 212.1c Some promotional cards include information to indicate the specific promotion the card is associated with.
• 212.1d Some cards with interchangeable names include information about a specific version of a card with that interchangeable name. See rule 201.3.
• 212.1e The three-character code representing the set in which a card is printed and the two-character code representing the language in which a card is printed are separated by a bullet point. If a card is premium, these codes are instead separated by a star.
• 212.1f The illustration credit for a card follows the paintbrush icon or, on older cards, the abbreviation “Illus.”
• 212.1g Legal text (the fine print at the bottom or bottom-right of the card) lists the trademark and copyright information.
