Will this card + close throw be legal for world's, we are currently starting to test to world's and this knowledge would help greatly.
Power of the Edge
Since when was it announced that power of the edge would ever be legal again?
I thought it was announced that it was legal as of either june 1st or july 1st?
I believe Close Throw and Martial Arts Champion were both confirmed to be legal as of July, but certainly CThrow will be for August. I'm assuming the same can be said for Potty.
Also, Potty is going to be good in Death since Evil and Void no can has momentum generation =/
I thought June was Mark of the Beast and Cursed Blood.
July was Close Throw and Martial Arts Champion.
Didn't think there'd been any word for the date that Power of the Edge is back.
Me and blanka are patiently awaiting it.

White Gi has been working pretty well for me..
A rules arbiter has provided the official answer to this question in the Q&A Section:

(It's even sticky and stuff)
I've heard rumors of it being reprinted, but no actual proof yet. So until it's in the prize support or officaly announced I won't belive it.

I can take this out of rumor stage - At some point a PotE reprint will be legal.
Steve is currently having it held back to roll out with the new OP kits/program that's starting up in the fall.
Once more is known, folks will be updated.

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm kind of 50/50 on this though. PotE was one of my favourite cards back in premier. It's great to see it back, I'm just not sure if it's great for the current meta to see the card return. Void could use it, Death and Evil with access to this in the current meta concerns me.
...especially Blanka. Fear the Blanka.

Death needs it, and Evil doesn't have the momentum to use it.

Since you're more in the know about what Steve Horvath has said and what he hasn't, any word on when we'll learn about the new OP program?
Will the reprint of power of the edge be foil? Or did it get done in the A-hole with the non foil thing.

Death got Cursed Blood and Martial Arts Champ back, I'm not sure I see why death "needs" POTE back. Before the bannings I was very pro-pote. At the point we are now, I'm not sure I feel that way. IT can outright negate blocks, and it absolutely hoses combo's. Death has plently of support now and no longer needs the help.
I'm in the same boat as failed. I really dont think death needs more at this point. I could be wrong but death is easily #1 in most people's minds.
The only problem death has is that it cant kill anyone unless theyre playing mid attack, midnight launcher, knight breaker. A bit samey really.

tottally agree. death does not need help. it can is the best control symbol, one of the best hybrids, and can agro with promo blanka.
It's not that Death does not need help...
It's that this game simply does not need Power of the Edge. 2 momentum or not, that's a lot of power to be held in just one action. That, and our game appears to be in a pretty healthy state right now.

Unstoppable Warriror, Menuett Dance and All Life is Prey (not all at once necessarily) would like a word.
Also, the same could arguably be said for Evil (Breaker combo), Order (Reppa->Fweem backed by Spinta), Air (Multiple attacks), Chaos (it'll use momentum, or looped Twilight Embrace), All (Dark Force)... Who cares if they see it coming when you force it down their throats so hard they can't stop it?
predictable is not bad. these days in ufs the only times you attack is when you can kill, so most of the time even though you know whats coming you still die.
Death is fine on kill conditions killing will be different then it was that the bottom line and death easily has the tools.
