make DFC

Sorry, looks like turning this cardset into proper DFCs is a somewhat manual task at the moment. I'm afraid I didn't provide a proper migration strategy for entirely-double-faced cardsets :P

EDIT: Naah, never mind, I've done it for you. Hopefully. Tell me if something's wrong!

That's awesome. The cards look great! But once again, we run into the problem of limited size previews.

Wow. That is so much better.

Yep, you're right. I ought to be able to "fix" that without too much work; I'll see what I can do.

Why the "transforms into ~" part? That seems pretty odd. If someone manages to use Planequake on this, I don't see why they shouldn't get the reward, and it's a very narrow clause otherwise.

You mean the reward of shrinking it to a 6/6 from a 12/12? I suppose so. It does add another way of dealing with it.

Could just put "~ does not transform" in the transformed half.

Neat idea, but the card can be represented more cleanly with kicker {6} - if ~ was kicked, it ETB with 6 +1/+1 counters :P (I know this set is about transformation, just sayin'. haha)

The point is to show that kicker can be done as a DFC instead. I'm trying to change every mechanic into a transform mechanic. The threshold mechanics (like metalcraft and the original threshold) and those involving multiple ideas (like morph and flip cards) are easiest, but I think is a nice re-imagining of Conqueror's Pledge.
