Question about reprinted cards in Standard
Standard forum
Posted on Feb. 8, 2013, 5:40 p.m. by urmom182
Im still a little new to magic, I can draft better than anything else but either way, my question is about using reprinted cards at FNM. Like say the nicol bolas planeswalker card from the anji vs nicol bolas duel decks that came out a while ago. I know the Magic 13 nicol bolas is legal, what about that older one? Does the fact that its from a different set make it illegal in standard? Or is it legal due to the fact that its the exact same cards, only with different art and from a different set?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
notice that Nicol Bolas and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker have different names as well as different effects. in that regard, the cards are not the same so only the planeswalker version is legal. other cards like Rancor , Oblivion Ring and the shocklands like Breeding Pool and Temple Garden have the exact same name and the exact same effect so you can take the old one and it'll still be legal in tournaments

Yeah, you can totally use your old cards if they've been reprinted in standard. I didn't know about it for the longest time either.

The old card is legal as long as it has the same English name.
