[ISD] Innistrad Mechanics - Double-faced cards, Transforming, etc



Double-faced cards in general

A double-faced card has, as you'd expect, two faces. It has no regular Magic back. Its front face, which is marked with a sun symbol and has a mana cost, is the default. A double-faced card always enters the battlefield with its front face up. This is true whether it enters the battlefield from the stack as the result of being cast, or from anywhere else, such as your graveyard (due to a card like Zombify, for example).
The back face of a double-faced card is marked with a moon symbol, lacks a mana cost, and has a color indicator—that's the dot on its type line—that tells you what color it is. 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. (For example, Gatstaf Shepherd's converted mana cost when it's in your deck is 2, not zero.)
Each double-faced card has at least one ability that causes it to transform. To transform a double-faced card, you turn it over so that its other face is showing.

Putting double-faced cards in your deck
To put a double-faced card into your deck, you have two options: You can put your entire deck in opaque card sleeves, as many players already do, or you can use the checklist card provided in many Innistrad packs. If you're using checklist cards to represent any of the double-faced cards in your deck, you must use checklist cards to represent all of them.
If you're using sleeves, it's pretty straightforward. You'll want to put the double-faced card in the sleeve with its front face showing, and take it out of the sleeve when it transforms. (Putting it back in is optional, at least until it leaves the battlefield.)


Transforming

After a double-faced card transforms, it's still the same card, so any Auras, counters, or other effects stay right where they are (unless the double-faced card's characteristics have changed such that an Aura can no longer legally enchant it).
The word "transform" applies no matter which side is currently showing. In other words, Gatstaf Shepherd might transform into Gatstaf Howler, then Gatstaf Howler might transform into Gatstaf Shepherd.

  1. Mein erster Gedanke zu double-faced-cards: Haeh?!? Etwas zu umstaendlich...ist es auch, aber das ist sowas von cool was Wizards da entwickelt haben, dass ich es gerne im Kauf nehme! Fand schon bei WoW das eine Dorf wo tagsueber harmlose Menschen wohnten, die sich Nachts zu krassen Werwoelfen verwandeln grossartig und die Karten die man bis jetzt sehen kann sind es von der Stimmung und den Faehigkeiten ebenfalls: Awesome!

    Ach ja: Und Flashback ist wieder da =)

  4. hehe, am besten wirds ja, wenn dann jeweils die karte aus der huelle gefieselt werden muss zum "umdrehn" ;)

  5. gut, umständlich wirds alle mal, allerdings habe ich mir tatsächlich keine Gedanken übers draften gemacht...theoretisch kann doch so ziemlich jeder sehen was man pickt. Gibts da noch keine zu Äußerungen vom Mutterschiff? Vielleicht auch so ne blöde Liste wo man ankreuzen kann, was man haben will?!? ;P
