Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for Kuja, Genome Sorcerer // Trance Kuja, Fate Defied, newest first.

• 2025-06-06 The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
• 2025-06-06 If another effect (or effects) modifies how much damage a Wizard you control would deal-by preventing some of it, for example-the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses the order in which any such effects (including Trance Kuja's) apply. If all of the damage is prevented, Trance Kuja's effect no longer applies.
• 2025-06-06 The damage is dealt by the same source as the original source of damage. The doubled damage isn't dealt by Trance Kuja unless it was the original source of damage.
• 2025-06-06 The back face of a nonmodal double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color.
• 2025-06-06 If damage dealt by a Wizard you control is being divided or assigned among multiple permanents and/or players, that damage is divided or assigned before doubling. For example, if you attack with a 4/6 Wizard with trample and it's blocked by a 1/1 creature, you can assign 1 damage to the blocker and 3 damage to the defending player. Those amounts are then doubled to 2 and 6, respectively.
• 2025-06-06 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.
• 2025-06-06 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.
• 2025-06-06 A token that is created as a copy of a double-faced permanent or a double-faced card in another zone is a double-faced token. It will have both the front face and back face of whatever object it's copying. If it's copying a double-faced permanent whose back face is up, the token will enter with its back face up. It can transform if instructed to do so.
