I have a question regarding the following ruling:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14135This ruling states that "All 3 printings of Magic Missile are legal while 1 of them is legal, since they're functionally identical reprints."
If two basic action cards have different names, but functionally identical effects, such as "Odin's Fury" from The Mighty Thor and "True Believer" from Amazing Spider-man, are these also considered functional reprints? If so, does this mean that True Believer is Modern-legal?
Thank you for your time.
Those aren't functional reprints - they could be used on the same team together in Golden Age Play.
Another example of a nearly identical reprint would be Resurrection - the one from the Superman/Wonder Woman Starter Set doesn't have the Good icon like the other Resurrection Basic Action Die does.
Functional Reprints must do the exact same thing, with the exact same name, and if applicable - using the same die. Sometimes cards have their wording changed to reflect clarity or updated templating for how effects are described - so even though they're a reprint of the old card, they're not an identical reprint (Big Entrance for example).
