What Cards are Legal in Modern MTG?
Direct Answer:
The Magic: The Gathering modern format allows cards from all core sets beginning with the 8th Edition core set and all expansions printed afterwards. This includes core sets, sets such as Alpha, Beta, Unlimited Edition, and subsequent revisions, as well as regular expansions like the Planechase series. Planeswalker decks, which include exclusive cards, and buy-a-box promos, which are cards specific to a particular booster or special event, are also allowed.
Understanding Card legality
- Printing style: Cards from pre-Eighth Edition sets must have been reprinted with modern card frames to be legal. Cards with alternative arts or variations of earlier editions are not considered official versions.
- Exchanges: Cards exchanged at special events or through unofficial programs, such as paper swapping, are not official Magic cards and may be confiscated if discovered.
- Fakes and Proxy: It is ILLEGAL to play any form of printed proxy card, including home-printed duplicates. Any use of home-printed cards is deemed as TARNKILL.

Yes - What type of events does Modern refer to?
Any casual/ official sanctioned event as tournament.
