In a tournament, can you have a double-faced card in opaque sleeve and have another copy of the card sleeved showing the back face outside of the game. When it transform, bring the back face one into the game lying overtop of the front face one? Basically, like you would using the check list card. Thanks.
I found this information from MTG, but doesn't speak to my specific question.
As long as the extra copy outside of your deck is in different sleeves, that is perfectly fine. You're allowed any number of double-faced cards in your deck box and for in-game use if they correspond to cards played in your deck and/or sideboard and they're sleeved differently than your deck. From the Infraction Procedure Guide :
If there are extra cards stored with the sideboard that could conceivably be played in the player’s deck, they will be considered a part of the sideboard unless they are:
•Promotional cards that have been handed out as part of the tournament.
•Double-faced cards represented by checklist cards in the deck. •Double-faced cards being used to represent the ‘night’ side of cards in the deck. These cards must not be sleeved in the same way as cards in the main deck and/or sideboard.
