Added711.4cDetails
While a transforming double-faced permanent has its back face up, it has only the characteristics of its back face. However, its converted mana cost is calculated using the mana cost of its front face. If a permanent is copying the back face of a transforming double-faced card (even if the card representing that copy is itself a double-faced card), the converted mana cost of that permanent is 0.
