What is the letter D printed beside the set symbol on Sword & Shield cards?
It is the regulation mark, and Sword & Shield is the first English expansion to carry one. The letter D was chosen to line up with the Asian releases, which had used the system since the Sun & Moon Era, and tournament formats now read that mark rather than the expansion a card came from to decide whether it is still legal. Basic Energy cards bear no mark at all.
