Ruling Zekrom (Next Destinies NXD 50) and Zekrom (Black & White BLW 47) in the new format

[Sander van der Heide]

Is Zekrom (Black & White BLW 47) still allowed in the new format, since Zekrom (Next Destinies NXD 50) still is.

This is what I found in the Play! Pokemon rulings:

"With the exception of basic Energy cards and previously printed cards that appear in Modifiedlegal sets, players may not use cards from Pokémon sets prior to Black & White. Players using previously printed cards that appear in Modified-legal sets must play those cards using the wording of the most recent printing of the card."

The way I read it, it still is, but I always thought this was only for trainer cards.

It's usually for Trainer cards, but Pokemon cards can also be reprinted. This has happened a lot in the BW era, more so than others.

And since Zekrom NXD 50 is legal, that means you can use the Zekrom BLW regular, full art, as well as the Zekrom BW promos #06 and #24, since they are all the same card, reprinted.
