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.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.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

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.

You might find this tool my friend made useful for proxying several decks at once. metadeck.me
