Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student // Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar, newest first.
The back face of a transforming double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color. Colorless back faces, such as lands, do not.
You can activate one of Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar's loyalty abilities the turn she enters the battlefield. However, you may do so only during one of your main phases when the stack is empty. For example, if Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar enters the battlefield during combat, there will be an opportunity for your opponent to remove her before you can activate one of her abilities.
Each transforming double-faced card in this set is cast with its front 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 some rare cases, a spell or ability may cause Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student to transform while she's a creature (front face up) on the battlefield. If this happens, Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar won't have any loyalty counters on her and will subsequently be put into her owner's graveyard.
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, Ral, Monsoon Mage's color identity is blue and red, since its front face is red and its back face has a blue and red color indicator.
The mana value of a transforming double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
A transforming double-faced card enters the battlefield 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.
Each face of a transforming double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a transforming double-faced permanent is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored.
