need verification of the throwback rule

[jslater2005]

i need to know exactly what the throwback rule is. I have been told that i can pack only throwback versions of a card or only original. Such as i can pack 2 TB Spinebusters and 1 original spinebuster or i can only pack TB spine busters. so what is the official rule and is there somewhere on comic images it explains it. please help me. thanks alot.

It's in the FAQ, in the Glossary at the end, under the heading "Throwback"

With SS3, we changed the rule to allow a player to pack both versions of a card. However, the usual deck construction rules still apply:
If a card is Unique, you cannot pack other copies with the same title. If you have an original Dem Damn Dudleyz (Unique), you can't pack Throwback Dem Damn Dudleyz (non-uinique).
You still have the 3-card limit for non-unique cards. You can pack 2 Throwback Spinebusters and 1 original Spinebuster, but no more than 3 (unless you're playing Phenom, obviously).

Set-ups are still the same, you can pack as many as you want in any combination of both (up to the deck limit of 60, Stacy could only pack 50 Diversions, etc)

Also, the rule applies to both your Arsenal and your Backlash deck. You can play with the Throwback Suicide Plancha (Mid-match) and the original version, but you still can't have more than 3 copies combined.

Hope that helps!
