When you flicker a double-faced card with Cloudshift, it will always return with the day side up. When a double-faced card (“DFC”) isn’t on the battlefield, it only has the characteristics of its front (sun) side.

Unfortunately, the idea of flickering Valki is not a good one because, if he entered and exiled a creature from your opponent’s hand, once it flickers into exile, that card will return.
Who was the planeswalker who changed the least?
Chandra was the Planeswalker who changed the least from design to development—probably because she was the one that most clearly sold me on the mechanic. She moved from a 1/1 to a 2/2, and retained all of her other abilities.
What are the origin stories of the five Planeswalkers?

What are the knobs on a double sided creature?
These are all individual parts of the card we can tweak. The proposal for double-sided creatures that became Planeswalkers put more knobs on individual cards than we have ever had before. For starters, the creature side had knobs for casting cost, power and toughness, flip condition, and whatever other abilities the creature had.
What was the flip condition of Liliana’s card?
Her flip condition was: B, T: Choose another target creature. When that creature dies this turn, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield, then exile CARDNAME and return it to the battlefield transformed. This told Liliana’s story pretty well, but didn’t really make for a card that we could get to be playable in Standard.
