Split Cards [Click to view all changes.]
Split Cards Split cards have two card faces on a single card. The back of a split card is the normal, full-size Magic card back. Split cards have two sets of characteristics: two names, two mana costs, and so on. They always have both sets, except when they're spells on the stack. When you play a split card, you announce which side you're playing. While it's on the stack, the other side is ignored completely. See rule 505, "Split Cards." Split cards have two mana costs with different colors of mana in them. That means they are multicolored cards, except while they're on the stack. If an effect tells you to name a card, you must name all of a split card's names. Effects that ask for a split card's characteristic get both answers. Effects that ask if a split card's characteristic matches a given value get only one answer. This answer is "yes" if either side of the split card matches the given value.
