Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

Each nonmodal double-faced card in this set is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.
- 2025-10-02
If you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter the battlefield at all. In that case, it stays in the zone it was previously in. For example, if a single-faced card is a copy of The Legend of Roku, the chapter III ability will cause it to be exiled and then remain in exile.
- 2025-10-02
The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
- 2025-10-02
You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played from exile using The Legend of Roku's first chapter ability. For example, if one of the exiled cards is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty. You may play those exiled cards even if you no longer control The Legend of Roku.
- 2025-10-02
Each face of a nonmodal double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a nonmodal 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.
- 2025-10-02
A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or you cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up.
