Rulings

  • October 4, 2004 — Can't acquire the Ante cards. They are considered still "in the game" as are cards in the library and the graveyard.
  • September 16, 2007 — Can't acquire cards that are phased out.
  • October 1, 2009 — You can't acquire exiled cards because those cards are still in one of the game's zones.
  • October 1, 2009 — In a sanctioned event, a card that's "outside the game" is one that's in your sideboard. In an unsanctioned event, you may choose any card from your collection.
