A transforming double-faced card enters the battlefield with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or you cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up

Combine him with cards like Doubling Season or Primal Vigor to make even more tokens very quickly
