Well, actually, it depends on which hand of
WotC you listen to. Their marketing people say "everything is core" (which is a meaningless statement). If you look at the covers of the rulebooks, you will see that the
DMG, PHB1, PHB2, MM1, and MM2 actually have "D&D Core Rules" printed right on them and everything else is marked "Game Supplement". So if you need some outside justification, that would be it. You can declare those books and those only to be the core rules and point at the cover of the book, which is pretty hard to refute.
That being said I personally don't see anything wrong with using anything from any of the published books. It is all quality material. You may find you don't like little bits and pieces here and there, like certain items in AV can definitely become cheesy, but there are ways for munchkins to do that with just PHB1, so it isn't like things go downhill. You're mostly pretty good until paragon tier at the worst before a few stunlocks start to raise their ugly heads.
And yet another word from our sponsors
