How do I know if a MTG card is a reprint?
Gotta say, sometimes it's all in the feel and look of the card. Older cards tend to look and feel different compared to their newer counterparts. But yeah, databases are your best friend for a quick check!

Just ask the veterans in your local MTG community. They've seen it all and can spot a reprint from a mile away.
Checking if a MTG card is a reprint is pretty easy! Just look up the card on databases like Scryfall or Gatherer. They list all the printings of a card, including its original release and any reprints. The artwork and set symbol can also give it away; reprints often have different art or a set symbol from a later set.
Honestly, why worry about reprints? Collect what you love!
