Look at the top four cards of your library and separate them into a face-down pile and a face-up pile. An opponent chooses one of the piles. Put that pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard.

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

You may split the cards into one pile of four and one pile of zero. The pile of four cards could be the face-up pile or the face-down pile. Which pile to choose won't be much of riddle for your opponent if you do that!

You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile if you put it into your hand.
