    Wow, that surprises me...

    So if he's allowed to put something on his deck to remind himself, could that something be a piece of the paper he uses to keep life totals on?

    And I assume we're allowed to write stuff down during the game. I've seen people write down cards they've seen in opponent hand with duress and such, and i hope they werent all cheating.

    Could he write down "get squee back" on a piece the life totals paper, rip that off and put it on top of his deck...

    Its not "outside" notes?

    I know this is nitpicking, but i think it is nitpicking what is basicaly two conflicting rules, and i'd like to know which one is "more important".

    Well you can write notes during a match but you can't references notes made before the match.
    A writen reminder to get Squee back would be outside notes if it was made before the match began.

    It's kind of like the difference between going into a physics test with a note with F=ma on it and writting down the equation as you solve the problem so you don't screw it up.

    How about a image of Squee on the poker chip? Would that be considered "outside notes"? I say fuck with everyone's mind and put a picture of Samuel L. Jackson's on top of your library as a reminder. Then repeat to yourself, SQUEE MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT!? I don't think you'll ever forget to pay an upkeep cost again.

    Probably since it is not only a reminder to recur squee but also a reminder to get squee in the first place.

    I doubt this will every really come up, especially in Legacy.

    I heartily endorse the Sam L. Jackson plan, though.

    Do you really need a picture of Squee? Is having the chip on top of your deck not enough?

    Outside Assistance mainly applies to written notes, although it could also apply to pictures if it were blatent enough. I think a picture of Squee would be approaching borderline, but acceptable in my opinion.
