Almost all cards will have an expansion set symbol on it to help you identify it. To tell if a card is rare or mythic rare we look at the expansion set symbol.

The most common way to buy cards is a 'Booster Pack'. That is to say, that when printing the cards they make some cards rarer than others to increase their value both in the game and financially. Magic is a collectable card game with artificial rarity placed upon the cards. Special cards like the Serra Angel from Summer Edition and promos/cards from duel decks are no exceptions.So where to start? First off, I think a short explanation about the cards is needed. If someone could help me find/get a list of all the creatures with at least one of the types 'Angel' and sort them in chronological order that would be great! I have a good idea of the newer sets and I know that Alpha and Beta was first. Then another problem came up I didn't know in which order all the angels were released. The problem I first had was how I would sort the cards in my binder, but I came up with the solution of sorting them by release date(this way I would simply just put new released angels at the end and wouldn't have to re-sort the cards if they were sorted by color or name for example). I started up a project about a year ago to collect one angel of each sort(one Serra Angel, one Archangel etc) but realized after a while that it would be much more fun to collect every single version of every angel.
