Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for Cyclonus, the Saboteur // Cyclonus, Cybertronian Fighter, newest first.

• 2022-10-14 The convert keyword action functions the same way as the transform keyword action found on some other cards; to convert a permanent on the battlefield, turn it over so that its other face is up.
• 2022-10-14 When you cast a spell using its More Than Meets the Eye ability, the card is put onto the stack with its back face up. The resulting spell has all characteristics of that face.
• 2022-10-14 Similarly, an ability of another card that instructs you to "transform" one of these cards will cause you to convert it, even if that ability doesn't use the word "convert."
• 2022-10-14 If you copy a permanent spell cast this way, the copy has the characteristics of the card's back face, even though it isn't itself a double-faced card.
• 2022-10-14 The cost is an alternative cost, so it can't be combined with any other alternative costs. It can be combined with any applicable additional costs.
• 2022-10-14 Any triggered ability of another card that triggers whenever a permanent transforms will also trigger whenever a permanent converts.
• 2022-10-14 Converting a permanent doesn't affect any Auras or Equipment that are attached to it. Similarly, any counters on the permanent will remain on that permanent after it converts. Any continuous effects from a resolved spell or ability will continue to affect it. Any spells or abilities on the stack that target a permanent continue to do so after that permanent converts.
• 2022-10-14 "Living metal" means "As long as it's your turn, this permanent is an artifact creature in addition to its other types."
