Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 3 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
2 PrecedentsThe controller of The Abyss controls the ability, but the current player chooses what gets destroyed.
This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
