wotc17 Nov 2025
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.
wotc17 Nov 2025
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.
wotc17 Nov 2025
If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters as whatever that creature copied, with the listed exception.
wotc17 Nov 2025
Any enters abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.
wotc17 Nov 2025
The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
wotc17 Nov 2025
The token created by Grub, Notorious Auntie's second ability copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, with the listed exception (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
Ranked by shared capabilities, colour identity, mana value and type. Never by strategic judgement.
