And if it's for a T2 tourney, it's from one of the current sets that's T2, and etc etc for extended, vintage, w/e
A more precise condition is that the card's (English) name has to be the name of a card legal in the format. It doesn't matter which set or printing a given piece of cardboard comes from as long as it has the right name.

Wait, by all these rules, would a deck of 60 oversized cards be legal? They have the same back, rounded corners, and black borders.

If the deck is otherwise legal, I can't think of a convincing reason why not. Obviously, you can't mix oversized and normal cards in a deck - that would be marked cards - and the Head Judge of a given event could always rule against it.
One potential basis for ruling against it is the argument that the scaled up card-back counts as an "alternate back"
I don't know which cards have been printed in oversized versions, but it seems to me that making a legal decklist entirely of cards that exist in oversized versions may be impossible, and even if it is possible, it's unlikely that the deck would be any good - which probably explains why the matter isn't explicitly addressed...

I believe to run a 60 card deck of them, you need to run 4 Black Lotuses, so its not legal in any format, but its an interesting trick.

Are there oversized cards with the standard Magic cardback? All the ones I've seen have something different on the backs, like an ad for the new set or something...

I have 5 of the early oversized promos, and they all have a regular Magic back with the exception of the text "not for play use," which of course means that they do NOT have the regular Magic back, and are not legal cards.
I don't know of any oversized promos that have a completely normal back.

Does this rule still apply if you are using sleeves?

Is there any reason they wouldn't be allowed in sleeves, other than "because we said so!" I'm just curious, because they wouldn't be distinguishable in legal sleeves.

so what formats is my Ace of Spades legal in? I forget what the corners look like, but they do have the standard back.
