Hi, I have one Bloodline Keeper in my deck. Can I bring a second Bloodline Keeper to FNM in a different color sleeve, and the card already turned face up to Lord of Lineage? When my Bloodline Keeper in the deck transforms, I will place the one with a different color sleeve on top of it. Is this ok to do?
Nothing in the comprehensive rules or the Magic Tournament Rules disallows this explicitly; rather, as long as the card in the different-colored sleeve is kept separate from the deck and sideboard, it may be treated no differently from items such as tokens and counters (for example, as a "physical, visible, and reliable method to maintain ... game information" under M.T.R. 1.10 in this scenario; see also C.R. 100.2).
Under C.R. 712.6, "[p]layers must ensure that double-faced cards in hidden zones are indistinguishable from other cards in the same zone". On the other hand, C.R. 713 and M.T.R. 3.5 applyC.R. 714 applies only if a player uses substitute cards (including what were formerly known as checklist cards), and not if a player represents transformed permanents by other means. And otherwise, there are no special requirements in the comprehensive rules for representing transformed permanents in public zones, such as on the battlefield (C.R. 400.2).
For sanctioned tournaments, see M.T.R. 3.5 and 1.10.
