Since the Exodus set, back in 1997, the expansion symbol on each card shows the rarity. Black for common, silver for uncommon, and gold for rare. They added red later for mythic rarity.

Most sites should allow you to see rarity in text form, and allow you to filter and sort by it.

Thanks! I probably should have picked up on that from the wildcard colors in Arena. But I never realized that it applied to the set symbols.

I discovered there's also a printed C/U/R/M in the lower left of a card that tells you the rarity outright (maybe helpful for colorblind folks).

That's a bit more recent. I think that's only since the Dominaria card frame update. Older cards won't have that on them.

Yeah I just went through my collection and noticed that (recently filled my first binder). Thanks.
