^title, but actually i'm more curious about the cards such as negate or shock which are reprinted often. Do we have to get new styles for reprints also? Does anyone know?

External link →Before people freak out; you can use any version of a card as long as one version is legal in that format, so as long as a card is reprinted, any old style will also be usable.
Has this been confirmed? I asked about this on the MTGA forum once and the only reply I got was from someone who said that was still unclear. That was last week, before the update, though.
Yes, it works this way. From the cosmetics FAQ (https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/53744):
After the fall set rotation, you will have ways to continue to play with all the cards in your collection. This includes using any card styles those cards may have.
Additionally, if a card is legal in a particular format you will have the option to use any card that has the same name as it regardless of the illustration. Card styles for the older versions of cards reprinted with new illustrations will still function if you’re using the older version of the card in your deck.
For example, once Core Set 2019 and Rivals of Ixalan rotate out of Standard, you will still be able to use your copies of Luminous Bonds and its card style from those sets in Standard since Luminous Bonds was also printed in Guilds of Ravnica. Once Guilds of Ravnica rotates out of Standard, you will no longer be able to use any copy of Luminous Bonds in Standard unless it is reprinted in a future Standard-legal set.
