Wizards of the CoastIf you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter the battlefield at all. In that case, it stays in the zone it was previously in. For example, if a single-faced card is a copy of The Legend of Kyoshi, the chapter III ability will cause it to be exiled and then remain in exile.
