- Rarity levels are shown as follows: R= Rare, U= Uncommon, C= Common, L= Land, F= Fixed in a preconstructed deck, S= Timeshifted. Any number
after the letter indicates how often the card appears in the printing
process. An "R2" occurs twice as often as an "R1", for example. An "S"
following a letter indicates that it is a Timeshifted card of that rarity.
Note that on some expansions, the rarity schemes were complex and those
complexities are not described here. You can find descriptions of the
various products and their rarity schemes
