A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or allows you to cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up.

In some rare cases, this permanent might transform while its triggered ability that allows you to pay mana to transform it is still on the stack. (For example, another effect might cause that ability to trigger an additional time.) In such a case, even if you pay mana as the triggered ability resolves, this permanent won't transform because it already transformed while the triggered ability was on the stack.

The first ability of Brigid, Doun's Mind is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.

If you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter at all.

Each nonmodal double-faced card in this release is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.
