UnCommander Rulings

An object copying Card Shark or its abilities does not get any scratch areas.

While not on the battlefield, or if all its scratch areas were marked before it entered the battlefield, Card Shark’s base power and toughness are each 0.

As UnCommander does not count events from outside the current game, only marks that have been made in the current game count. See the UnCommander Rules List page for details.

You do not physically need to write on the card to designate a mark on a card. In a singleton format like UnCommander, noting it down on paper is generally sufficient. If there are multiple cards with the same name in a deck, a way that makes it clear which cards have which marks should be used. If players are using card sleeves, this can be done by putting small paper slips into the cards’ sleeves.

Marks on a card are considered an attribute of the card itself, and are not copiable values. The card retains this designation even when it changes zones. Token copies will still cease to exist outside the battlefield as normal. (Following the template of how commanders function, 903.3. in the official Comprehensive Rules.)
