Missy's ruling on double-faced creatures
Asked by Sojiro888 9 months ago
The official ruling for Missy says this: 2023-10-13: Double-faced permanents that are already on the battlefield can't be turned face down this way. However, a double-faced card can be put onto the battlefield face down from another zone this way.
But she only ever puts cards face down from the graveyard, which is another zone. Does this rule ever affect Missy? If she can trigger on a double-faced creature, what happens to the card?

Double-face cards can be put onto the battlefield face down, so Missy's ability does work to reanimate them as cybermen. The ruling should probably read:
2023-10-13: Double-faced permanents that are already on the battlefield can't be turned face down. However, a double-faced card can be put onto the battlefield face down from another zone this way.
Unfortunately the Doctor Who cards have a number of erroneous or misleading rulings.
