) Konami policy regarding card legality and cards with
erratas
(section IX. subsection G. of the
policy document
) state that "you are required to play all copies of your cards according to the most recent text". Therefore, the language used and the consequences of this erratum are essential to authentic Edison Format play.
SJC Edison was played with the TU2 erratum, but the GLD3 erratum better communicates this card's ability to respond to the activation of a Card OR Effect.
