- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingThe token created by Reflection of Kiki-Jiki copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (except that the copy also has haste) and nothing else (unless it's copying a creature that's a token or that's copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether the creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Most notably, if the target creature isn't normally a creature, the copy won't be a creature.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingA 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.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingThe mana value of a transforming double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf a copied creature is a token that isn't a copy of something else, the copy copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created it.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf 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 Azusa's Many Journeys, the chapter III ability will cause it to be exiled and then remain in exile.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf another creature becomes a copy of, or enters the battlefield as a copy of, the token, that creature will copy the creature card the token is copying, except it will also have haste. However, you won't sacrifice the new copy at the beginning of the next end step.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf a copied creature is copying something else, the token you create will use the copiable values of the target creature. In most cases, it will just be a copy of whatever that creature is copying.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf Reflection of Kiki-Jiki's ability creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (such as the one Doubling Season creates), you'll sacrifice each of them.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingIf the copied creature has in its mana cost, X is 0.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingThe back face of a transforming double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingEach transforming double-faced card in this set is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingAny enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature card will also work.
- WWizards of the Coast2022-02-18Official RulingEach face of a transforming double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a transforming double-faced permanent is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored.

- Wizards of the Coast2023-07-18Fable of the Mirror-Breaker was banned in alchemy on July 18, 2023. Black-red midrange decks featuring Crucias, Titan of the Waves, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse have been one of the best-performing archetypes in Alchemy. The One Ring further powered up these decks with the release of The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™. We are banning Fable of the Mirror-Breaker instead of rebalancing the enchantment to avoid disrupting the Historic metagame with a rebalance that would only be in effect for a few months, as Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is rotating out of Alchemy later this year.

- Wizards of the Coast2023-05-29Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki was banned in standard on May 29, 2023. Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki has been the backbone of strategies based in black-red and one of the strongest cards in the format for the entirety of its tenure in Standard. Its ability to generate resources, card flow, and be a must-kill threat is unmatched at its level of efficiency. For these reasons, as well as the high play rate of the card across many decks, Fable of the Mirror-Breaker // Reflection of Kiki-Jiki is banned.
