Innistrad introduces double-faced cards to Magic, and with them some difficulty with logistics of playing them, so here’s a quick guide to how to use double-faced cards.<\/p>\n
The easiest way to play with double-faced card is to use the checklist cards that come in most Innistrad booster packs. If you’re playing unsleeved or with sleeves that aren’t completely opaque, then you must use a checklist card for each double-faced card in your deck. Each checklist card should be clearly marked as to which double-faced card it represents. Keep the double-faced cards with your deck, and swap it for the checklist card whenever it’s in a public zone. (In play, exiled or in a graveyard)<\/p>\n
If you’re using checklist cards and are going to sleeve your double-faced cards, use a different color of sleeve. (Clear sleeves work well, as you won’t need to unsleeve the card, flip it, and resleeve. Another option is to have two copies of each double-faced card for each checklist card in your deck.)<\/p>\n
If you want to have the actual double-faced cards in your deck, then your deck must be sleeved in completely opaque sleeves. Many colored sleeves are not completely opaque, and thus will not work for this purpose. A good way to check this is to sleeve a normal card, then see if you can make out the white dot on the back of a card. Another way to check is to put a regular Magic card in the sleeve backwards and check if you can see anything.<\/p>\n
If you have double-faced cards in your deck, you may have additional copies sleeved in different sleeves with the night side of the card showing. These cards should be kept with your deck.<\/p>\n
Playing with Double-Faced cards requires a little bit of extra care and attention, but now you can enjoy playing these exciting new cards worry-free!<\/p>\n
