• Sep 24, 2021 "Disturb [cost]" means "You may cast this card transformed from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost."
• Sep 24, 2021 A spell cast this way enters the battlefield with its back face up.
• Sep 24, 2021 Disturb is found only on the front faces of some double-faced cards.
• Sep 24, 2021 If you copy a permanent spell cast this way (perhaps with a card like Double Major), the copy becomes a token that's a copy of the card's back face, even though it isn't itself a double-faced card.
• Sep 24, 2021 The back face of each card with disturb has an ability that instructs its controller to exile if it would be put into a graveyard from anywhere. This includes going to the graveyard from the stack, so if the spell is countered after you cast it using the disturb ability, it will be put into exile.
