`Rarity refers to the distribution of cards in Magic boosters. Magic has common, uncommon, rare and mythic rare cards. Rarity defines the scarcity of cards in
`boosters, and indicates complexity, but not the quality of the card. Rares can generally be said to be more complex, but not necessarily better, than commons. The
`earliest expansions were packaged in 8-card booster packs that usually contain 6 commons and 2 uncommons (there were no rares back then). A few expansions
`were packaged in 12-card booster packs that usually contain 9 commons, 2 uncommons and 1 rare. Since Mirage, most expansions were packaged in 15-card booster
`packs that usually contain 11 commons, 3 uncommons and 1 rare. One exception to this is Time Spiral, where the 15-card boosters include 10 commons, 3
`uncommons, 1 rare and 1 Timeshifted card.
`
`Since the Exodus expansion the rarity of a card has been identified by the color of the expansion symbol. Common cards use a black-filled expansion symbol, except
`in the Coldsnap expansion where a white symbol is used. Uncommon cards use a solid silver- or black-to-white fade-filled expansion symbol. Rare cards use a gold-
`filled expansion symbol. Cards in Time Spiral's timeshifted subset use a purple expansion symbol.
`
`It is known that expansions through Alliances, excluding Ice Age, had some common and uncommon cards that were actually more prevalent than others. This was
`the result of some cards appearing more often than others on the printer's sheet of uncut cards. For example, Headless Horseman is a C1 common, and Ghosts of the
`Damned is a C2 common. This code represents the number of times the card appears on the common printer's sheet of uncut cards, making C2 commons twice as
`abundant as C1 commons.[1]
`
`As of Shards of Alara, there is a 1 in 8 chance that a rare in a booster pack will be replaced by a 'Mythic Rare',[2] with a red expansion symbol.
