As an exception to the previous ruling, the mana value of a transforming double-faced permanent’s back face is calculated as though it had the mana cost of its front face. However, a copy of a transforming double-faced permanent with its back face up will have no mana cost, and a mana value of 0.
What is the CMC of an aftermath card?
For example, Destined /// Lead is a green and black card, it is both an instant card and a sorcery card, and its converted mana cost is 6. This means that if an effect allows you to cast a card with converted mana cost 2 from your hand, you can’t cast Destined. This is a change from the previous rules for split cards.
What happens when you copy a double faced card?
If an effect copies a double-faced card, it copies the characteristics of whichever face is currently showing. It doesn’t copy any characteristics of the other face. The only objects that can transform are cards that physically have two faces. If a token or a card with a regular Magic back is instructed to transform, instead nothing will happen.
When does a double faced card enter the battlefield?
A double-faced card always enters the battlefield with its front face up. This is true whether it enters the battlefield from the stack as the result of being cast, or from anywhere else, such as your graveyard (due to a card like Zombify, for example).
Can a double faced card be revealed during a booster draft?
During a booster draft, double-faced cards are open information that players are neither penalized for revealing nor required to conceal. Players may reveal either face of a double-faced card to other drafters during the draft.
Are there any magic cards that are double faced?
711.1d Meld cards have a Magic card face on one side and half of an oversized Magic card face on the other. These aren’t double-faced cards and are subject to their own set of rules. See rule 712, “Meld Cards.”
