Lorcana rarity symbols: read the card, not the shine
Start with the rarity symbol at the bottom of the card. A shiny surface alone does not tell you its rarity or which printing you own.
At a glance
- Rarity and foil finish are different details.
- Newer sets can include Epic and Iconic cards.
- Match the set and collector number before recording a card.
1. Read the standard symbol
The first five rarities are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare and Legendary. Compare the printed symbol with the official card reference, rather than estimating rarity from the artwork.
- Common: circle. Uncommon: open book. Rare: triangle.
- Super Rare: diamond. Legendary: pentagon.
2. Check special printings
Epic, Enchanted and Iconic are separate rarities. Epic sits between Legendary and Enchanted in the official rarity order; Iconic is above Enchanted. Not every set contains every rarity. A regular foil is not automatically Enchanted.
3. Save the exact version
Compare the full card name, set, collector number and language. In LanaKit, check the match before adding your regular or foil quantity. Keep different printings as different records.
Check your result
Take two cards with the same character. You should be able to explain which symbol, number or finish distinguishes the records. A rarity label does not authenticate a physical card or guarantee a price.
