  • WotCOct 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.

  • WotCOct 1, 2009

    You can't acquire exiled cards because those cards are still in one of the game's zones.

  • WotCSep 16, 2007

    Can't acquire cards that are phased out.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    Can't acquire the Ante cards. They are considered still "in the game" as are cards in the library and the graveyard.
