How do companion restrictions work with MDFCs?

Asked by Omniscience_is_life 2 years ago

The title pretty much sums it up; can I (for example) play Lurrus of the Dream-Den as my companion for Shaile, Dean of Radiance  ^Flip, even though her other side is the 4-drop Embrose, Dean of Shadow?

This rule

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card is based on the characteristics of the face that’s being considered. On the stack and battlefield, consider whichever face is up. In all other zones, consider only the front face. This is different than how the converted mana cost of a transforming double-faced card is determined.

Is not helping me understand at all. Thanks for any clarification :)

This seems to be the important part. As Shaile has a mana value of 2, you should be able to play Lurrus as her companion. Pretty good find.
