the following requirements:

cards, and all of these cards have the same card back. OR, the
player’s deck is comprised of cards with different backs, and all
cards are sleeved with opaque back sleeves.
• All of the cards in the player’s deck have been released, in English,
in the United States and are legal for use according to the event’s
format restrictions
• The player has an English or local-language version of the card,

Note: If it's the same art as the legal English card, then you can use it.
If it's new art, like the new Rare Candy we got, that would not be legal because the players and judges would have to take your word for it being the same card or not.
