Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 8 versions.

You can’t change proper nouns (i.e. card names) such as “Island Fish Jasconius”.

It only changes what is printed on the card (or set on a token when it was created or set by a copy effect). It will not change any effects that are on the permanent.

It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.

You choose the words to change on resolution.

It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
