Morphing a transform card
Asked by Carn13 13 years ago
How does putting a card with transform into play morphed work? Do you use the checklist card, does it come into play as the other side, what happens?

This is a quote from the Rules Article on Transform:
"A double-faced card has 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 article can be found here: Transform Mechanic
Also note the following quote:
"Although the physical action is the same, transforming is not the same as being turned face down. This means that a double-faced card that transforms will not, for example, trigger Unblinking Bleb . Double-faced cards are always face up; they are never face down. If an effect (say, Ixidron ) tries to turn a double-faced card face down, nothing happens."

@ xxxxxxCronoxxxxxx No, you wouldn't. Double-faced cards ALWAYS enter the battlefield default-face up. They may not be turned face down. If an effect tries to cause a double-faced card to enter the battlefield "face-down" or turn it face-down, nothing happens.

The articles on Wizards cover it pretty clearly, if not in the Innistrad mechanics article then in this one. What do you mean "come into play morphed"?
