Can you flip a modal double faced card?

Card rulings If a double-faced card is manifested, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can’t transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.

Can copies transform?

Unless the object that’s a copy of it is also a double-faced card, it can’t transform; even if that object is a double-faced card, it’ll still have the same copied characteristics if it transforms.

How do flip cards work?

Flip cards have a two-part card frame on a single card. The text that appears right side up on the card defines the card’s normal characteristics. Additional alternative characteristics appear upside down on the card. The back of a flip card is the normal Magic card back.

Can clones transform MTG?

Because the Clone is itself not a double-faced card, it can’t transform. Whenever a clone-style effect tries to copy a permanent, it copies the copiable values of that permanent.

Do double faced cards count as lands?

The Modal Dual-Faced Cards from Zendikar Rising are unlike anything we’ve seen before. These cards have two faces and can be played as either side. A small cycle of them are lands on both sides that function as the dual lands of the set, but the rest are a spell on the front and a land on the back.

How do two sided cards work in magic?

711.1 A double-faced card has a Magic card face on each side rather than a Magic card face on one side and a Magic card back on the other. Each face may have abilities that allow the card to “transform,” or turn over to its other face. Tokens and cards with a Magic card back can’t transform.

Do token copies transform?

If a token or a card with a regular Magic back is instructed to transform, instead nothing will happen. Even if a token or non-double-faced card is a copy of one face of a double-faced card, it can’t transform.

Do transform cards have CMC?

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.

How do double faced cards work?

A double-faced card always enters the battlefield with its front face up. The two faces of a double-faced card are often the same color, but not always. The back face’s characteristics matter only if the card is on the battlefield and its back face is showing. Otherwise, only the front face’s characteristics count.

What happens when you copy a flip card?

If a clone copies a flipped card, it copies the entire “copyable characteristics of the card”, but since it is unflipped as it enters the battlefield, it will be the unflipped part of the flipped card. This is different that a dual faced card. In that case both sides are face up, so the clone copies the card as is.

Can token copies transform MTG?
