DFC: Double-Faced Cards In Origins: Legendary creatures with an ability that causes them to exile and return to the battlefield transformed.

Can I have two Jaces on the battlefield?

A decklist reads “Jace.” What do you do?

Can I Silkwrap Jace?

Since manifesting Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy via Cloudform puts him on the battlefield face down, can I use his Loyalty abilities?

I use Clever Impersonator to clone Jace, Telepath Unbound. What do I get?

RENOWNRenown is a triggered ability that rewards your creatures for striking your enemy, granting them prestige in the form of one or more +1/+1 counters and, sometimes, another ability.

If my Honored Hierarch attacks Elspeth, Sun’s Champion and isn’t blocked, does it get renowned?

I make a token of my renowned Honored Hierarch and attack with it: how much damage does my opponent take?
