Hey guys, kind of an oddball rules question here.
I have a box of proxy decks for Vintage. I'm not super familiar with all the lists I have proxied up, so sometimes after boarding, I can't remember which cards were in the main and which were in the side. This becomes worse when I lend the decks out. Would it be against the rules (or, for that matter, unsportsmanlike) for me to sharpie "sideboard" on the sideboard cards?
Why would that be an issue if you're already using proxies?
You could always print/write a decklist to keep in the box. Even in sanctioned tournaments I usually reference a list to make sure I de-sideboard correctly.
MTR:
Marking (the front of) sideboard cards is the most common example of "minor strategic information". As far as the official rules are concerned, perfectly fine.Quote:
Artistic modifications to cards that indirectly provide minor strategic information are acceptable. The Head Judge is the final arbiter on what cards and notes are acceptable for a tournament.
Cheers guys. I decided I'd take a less conspicuous approach and just put the lists in a note on my phone, but interesting to know that minor strategic info is fine on cards.
Just remember the tournament rules forbid use of electronic devices, so only do it between matches. A proxy tournament might not strictly be following rules though I suppose.Quote:
