The back face of a transforming double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color. Colorless back faces, such as lands, do not.

In a case where you create more than one Cat Warrior creature token with Ajani, Nacatl Avenger's second ability (for example, because of the effect of Doubling Season), the reflexive ability will trigger once for each Cat Warrior you made this way. If a replacement effect causes you to create different tokens instead (for example, the effect of Divine Visitation), the creation of those tokens won't cause the reflexive ability to trigger.

A transforming double-faced card enters the battlefield 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.
wotc7 Jun 2024
Each face of a transforming double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a transforming double-faced permanent is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored.

If an opponent doesn't control any permanents of one of the types, they'll still choose the permanents of the types they do control.

You can activate one of Ajani, Nacatl Avenger's loyalty abilities the turn he enters the battlefield. However, you may do so only during one of your main phases when the stack is empty. For example, if Ajani, Nacatl Avenger enters the battlefield during combat, there will be an opportunity for your opponent to remove him before you can activate one of his abilities.
