    If you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter 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 Crystal Fragments, it will be exiled during the resolution of its second ability and remain in exile.

    You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

    The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
