## Official Rulings
- *(2021-09-24)* If it's neither day nor night, and a creature with daybound and a creature with nightbound somehow appear on the battlefield at the same time, it becomes day. The creature with nightbound will transform.
- *(2021-09-24)* Double-faced permanents with daybound transform to their nightbound faces as it becomes night. Similarly, double-faced permanents with nightbound transform to their daybound faces as it becomes day. This happens immediately and is not a state-based action. It happens any time it becomes day or night, not just during the untap step.
- *(2021-09-24)* If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won't be returned to the battlefield.
- *(2021-09-24)* Before a player untaps their permanents during the untap step, the game checks to see if the day/night designation should change.
- *(2021-09-24)* The exiled card returns to the battlefield immediately after this creature leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions. The two creatures aren't on the battlefield at the same time. For example, if the returning creature is a Clone, it can't enter the battlefield as a copy of Brutal Cathar or Moonrage Brute.
- *(2021-09-24)* If it is night, permanents with daybound that enter the battlefield without being cast will enter with their nightbound faces up.
