I am just getting into the game again since I gave it up as a little kid. I was wondering if you can use cards that are legal in standard and modern format that are from an illegal set. like can I use thoughtseize from the lorwyn set in a standard tournament. also, I apologies if this is the wrong section
Yes.
Regardless of the art or set a card came from, if it was also printed in a set that is legal in that format (barring the card itself being banned) you may use it.
You are allowed to use Lorwyn Thoughtseizes in Standard. You may use a Legends copy of Pendelhaven in Modern.
