Depends. If it's a black star promo, yes. If it's a separate set, no, unless the checklist says otherwise.

Actually, Section 15.5. of the Floor Rules leads me to believe it will be legal whether or not it is a Black Star Promo
15.5. Unreleased Cards
From time to time, players will acquire cards from a new set prior to its regular release date, usually via a Prerelease. These cards may not be used in sanctioned tournaments until the regular release date of the set, as outlined in Section 16, with one exception. Cards that are already tournament legal which have been reprinted in an unreleased set may be used as long they are easily identifiable as a reprinted card. This is typically only an issue when a reprinted card receives new art, though other factors may create a similar issue. These cards should always be played with the most recent wording of the tournament-legal version of the card.

In the event the cards in this "Dragon Vault" box contain a Rayquaza (or other reprint) with a different set symbol, I would be inclined to believe that would be refered to as a new "set" as referred to in the first line.


But, I almost expect a reprint of Chomp/Hydreigon lines or something in these.

However, this line makes me wonder...
We can provide a international exclusive in association with Pokecollection, the Pokemon Dragon Vault Box, will be released later this year, with a whole new direction to the ordinary box releases.

Box containing 5 card packs similar to a mini set, as it was in Japan? Could be. I'd laugh so hard if this is the case and Rayquaza was made a "Secret Rare" there too.

Are you sure, PokePop? I just looked up the scan of the Rayquaza from Dragon Selection and while I couldn't read the japanese text, the energy requirements and base damage numbers for its attacks match.

Well, you got a "thanks" from Exobyte, so I guess that's that!

Ah, sorry, I was confusing the card to the DS set in general.

Anyways, I'm thinking that we'll learn more about this tomorrow on the new Pokemon.com/EX site.
 
I don't see why this is a big deal, aren't we getting Rayquaza after Regionals regardless of this? If anything the box will get pushed back, not moved forward. Is it even confirmed Rayquaza is in this?

There is no guarantee Dragon Selection Rayquaza will ever see an English print. It is not confirmed that Rayquaza is in here.


I actually change my opinion. It'll be the promo FA Rayquaza and Giratinas.
 
I really hope this is the English version of Dragon Selection. If it is I'll buy it ASAP. If it's just some generic Dragon-themed box with a new promo or two... meh.
 
If this was a full English release of Dragon Selection, I'll make it my first major BW-on purchase. I'd love Dragon-type versions of certain Pokémon for my Pokédex collection!
 
Aren't we already getting the Rayquaza EX promo in the Legendary tins? Doubt they would put it in the box too.

Could see the Giratina EX promo + Rayquaza Promo as being box toppers, with Dragon Selection booster packs (or just the complete set) in the box. These things would definitely sell a whole bunch.
 
I think the Rayquaza-EX promo that people are talking about is the full art one that was released as a lottery prize in Japan with the full art Giratina-EX. The Rayquaza-EX that we're getting in the tins next month is just a reprint of the regular, non-FA version.
