This is probably the most rediculous thread I have read on these forums.
I agree lol.

I'm not sure what's so absurd about this topic. I haven't played in any major tournaments before so I was just curious why card marking wasn't explicitly prohibited.

There are a great many things not defined in the rules that are clearly illegal. You can't draw extra cards, even though the rules aren't explicit that you can't do that. It is just common sense. The same with card marking. The OP document can not and will not ever be able to go over every illegal situation.

The topic is not absurd, for me its what people are saying with no citation in the rules. And in true internet fasion I will not give a citation either. I will leave it to say that I believe that if you sleve your command deck in red for Sith and black for Imperial Navy you are marking your cards. You are giving yourself the advantage of knowing beforehand whether or not you have a resource match. So while it does not technically sleeves must be uniform, I would interpert uniformity to be in the "spirit" of the rule.

You dont need a citation for common sense.

correct, but when stating or paraphrasing a rule you should cite it.

Agree with TGO and JMCB, this thread is silly, and posts like this

…but nowhere does it say that card marking is illegal. It seems someone could use matte sleeves and just write on the back of them things like "darth vader" to denote which card it is.
are the reason why. As someone who is TOing FFG events this year and has done so in the past, all I have to point out is the "etc" at the end of the list of unsportsmanlike conduct moves, and that "The TO, at his or her sole discretion, may penalize or remove players from the tournament for unsportsmanlike conduct."
I can also say that in past events I've participated in, TOs and organizers have required opaque sleeves, so even if you don't like opaque sleeves, you might want to have 2 decks worth (1 DS, 1 LS) of them handy just in case (or be prepared to have to buy them while at the event).
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. -Terry Pratchett
As an extension:
Would having your objective and command decks in different styles of sleeves considered marking in the unsportsmanlike sense? Specifically, I have my objective cards in art sleeves and my command cards in clear. This is my first attempt at competitve play and don't want to have the surprise expense on tourney day.
I do the same thing, so my answer would be no. They are two different decks that do not get shuffled together. If either deck is expired when you have to draw a card from them you lose. Sorry, I can't come up with a reason that they can not be in separate deck sleeves.

They are two separate decks that don't get shuffled together so no that is not marking. Marking is having cards in the same deck with different sleeves or some other manner of knowing without looking what the card (s) are.

The question was can he use different sleeves for different factions. NO that is marking your cards.

"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol
So what you're saying is I can't put my Sith cards in clear sleeves and my Spies and Bounty Hunters in tinfoil? Just want to make sure….
