On a related note, transform cards (when they come) can basically have the same layout as split cards, except with the sun/moon symbol and the left-corner reminder text. The choice for DFCs can be lumped with these three.

Yeah, DFCs will use the same multipartinfrastructure I put in place for split and flip cards.

You're right there is an extra click or two to create a split/flip card, but I think this minimises total confusion and delay. The key point is that the vast majority of Multiverse cards aren't split/flip cards, so I want to keep the option out of people's faces. I don't want to take up an extra line of real estate onscreen for all cards when most of them don't need it. I think people will be likely to look in the "Frame" dropdown to create a card with a split or flip frame, so that's why the option's there.

No action planned

I don't think I'm planning to change this.

By way of apology, I'm accelerating my work on DFCs and colour indicators so that your transform set will be able to display properly very soon.
