When this enchantment enters, create a 2/2 green Bird creature token with "Whenever a land you control enters, this token gets +1/+0 until end of turn." At the beginning of your first main phase, if you control four or more Birds, transform this enchantment. // When this permanent transforms into Black Chocobo, search your library for a land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, Birds you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.

Each nonmodal double-faced card in this release is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.

In the Commander variant, a double-faced card's color identity is determined by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of both faces combined. If either face has a color indicator or basic land type, those are also considered. For example, Cecil, Dark Knight's color identity is black and white, since its front face is black and its back face has a white color indicator.

A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or allows you to cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up.
