Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 3 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

An opus ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.

Molten-Core Maestro's last ability is not a mana ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to.
