I feel like it would have made much more sense if you played with the one sided card in your deck, then pulled out the fancy double sided card for when you transform it. They could have kept their logo, and we could play drafts normally without sleeves. I feel they did it the other way for marketing and publicity... I mean look at all of the commotion it's causing. It would have been much simpler...
The double-sided card is the real card. The one with the regular back is just a proxy. You may use the proxy if you want or if you don't have sleeves, or you can just use the real double-sided card if you have sleeves for them.
It seems like an incredibly inelegant way to do things. The proxy card isn't worth anything and you can't play it without actually having the real double-sided card somewhere with you. Newer players however, might not get this and think the proxy is the real card since it has the regular magic back? I don't know if this is the case. We will just need more information on what their solution is and how it works.
Ugh, I wish they hadn't announced this by (apparently) saying "Transform cards are double-sided!"
That's not really what's going on here... the thing you actually put in your deck (i.e., the "card", as the rules + everyone calls it) has a regular card back. You just use the 2-sided thing instead of the "card" to represent a Transform permanent in play.
That creates some hassles for draft, but its not the end of the world. But by making the announcement in a sensational way ("2-sided cards!"), they were probably hoping to generate excitement and, it seems, mostly just created confusion and pissed a lot of people off. I know some people were really happy about it, but it still seems like a lousy way to unveil something they knew would be controversial.
Now I'm just confused. SO let me get this straight. There are two of the same cards that come in a pack. The day version. Except the token has a flip side which is the night version?
It's like everyone was right and wrong... this is crazy.
Yes, because we're supposed to know some obscure quote from a comedian from years ago.
Also, the asking for your stuff thing is a common joke to ask someone who claims they are quitting. If you won't relinquish your stuff you aren't serious about quitting.
Anyways Maro has confirmed double-sided cards so I'm pretty pumped atm.
I never said you needed to know the quote, I was just saying it jokingly. It was a joke. I'm upset about double-sided cards. It's kind of a weird idea. It's nuts. I can make jokes too... And really, don't you have anything better to do then harass me? Troll? And how come you can't quit and save your stuff as collectables to sell in the future? Come on, get serious.
It was a joke, guys, but thanks for quoting me. It's a Dane Cook stand-up from a long time ago, when he mentions playing monopoly with his grandma. You can't have my cards. Except for Mother of Autumn. That's what I think of you.
Wait, so they're not double-sided, like double-sided tape? They're separate cards?
Yeah, whoever said that just said "They're back to back" and everyone then started to assume, and flame... like idiots. It's not confirmed, and that doesn't mean they're two-sided...
He said the cards are back to back, not two sided. everyone stop freaking out. I got confimation from a buddy that the cards have another card behind them....
Source?
So then we were right? YESSSSS
It's like everyone was right and wrong... this is crazy.
new signature quote? lol

double sided= one card. back to back=two cards. really?
Yeah, whoever said that just said "They're back to back" and everyone then started to assume, and flame... like idiots. It's not confirmed, and that doesn't mean they're two-sided...
Hah yesss I thought this too before when I saw both of his arts.
I hate to say I told you so...
Actually, I don't.
I told you so.
