So recently I decided to build a deck that includes some of the silliest combos I've seen in the past few years. I'm talking about Moonmist transforming Azor's Gateway while March of the Machines is out and Mirror Entity makes everything all creature types. While testing the deck on Tappedout I realized that Thing in the Ice synergies well with the combo as it auto transforms and it doesn't bounce my creatures since Mirror Entity made them all creature types which includes Horror.
A spell or ability can transform a double-faced permanent from its front face to its back face or vice versa, even if nothing in the front face or back face allows it to transform to the other face (C.R. 701.27, especially C.R. 701.27a).
Thus, for example, if Awoken Horror is a Human, Moonmist will get to transform it back to Thing in the Ice, even though nothing in Awoken Horror allows it to transform.
Then I cast Moonmist again for another card and realized that Awoken Horror could possibly transform back into Thing in the Ice from the effect of Moonmist since it's still a Human thanks to Mirror Entity.
So my question is if Awoken Horror can transform back if these special conditions are met.
Yeah, that's my fault...
