Brigid, Clachan's Heart // Brigid, Doun's Mind + Formidable Speaker
Overview
Formidable Speaker can tutor for Brigid (because in the library a double-faced card has only its front-face characteristics ) and Brigid will create a 1/1 Kithkin token when it enters the battlefield as Brigid, Clachan's Heart or when it transforms into that face . Once Brigid is on its back face (Brigid, Doun's Mind) you can use Formidable Speaker's activated ability (
, 
: Untap another target permanent) to untap Brigid, allowing you to tap Brigid again for its : Add X 
or X 
ability; Speaker's ability targets another permanent, so it can target Brigid but not itself. Transforming and entering are governed by the double-faced card rules (a DFC enters front face up unless put onto the battlefield transformed) and transforming doesn’t create a new object (effects continue to apply) .

Transforming and entering are governed by the double-faced card rules (a DFC enters front face up unless put onto the battlefield transformed) and transforming doesn’t create a new object (effects continue to apply) .Step 1
If you resolve Formidable Speaker’s enters-the-battlefield triggered ability and you discard a card, you may search your library for a creature card; because Brigid is a double-faced card in your library it has only its front-face characteristics there and is a legal target for that search .
Step 2
When you cast and Brigid enters the battlefield normally, it enters with its front face up unless put onto the battlefield transformed .
Step 3
If Brigid entered the battlefield as Brigid, Clachan’s Heart, its "Whenever this creature enters or transforms into Brigid, Clachan’s Heart" trigger triggers and creates a 1/1 Kithkin token; that trigger also triggers if Brigid transforms into the Clachan’s Heart face later (see ).
Step 4
If Brigid is on its back face (Brigid, Doun’s Mind), you can tap Brigid for mana using its : Add X or X ability. After tapping Brigid, you may activate Formidable Speaker’s , : Untap another target permanent, targeting Brigid; when that resolves, Brigid becomes untapped and can be tapped again for its mana ability.
: Add X or X ability. After tapping Brigid, you may activate Formidable Speaker’s , : Untap another target permanent, targeting Brigid; when that resolves, Brigid becomes untapped and can be tapped again for its mana ability.Step 5
Because transforming doesn’t create a new object, any continuous effects or attachments remain through the transform .
Step 6
If Brigid transforms into its front face, the front-face "transforms into" trigger will only trigger if the permanent didn’t have that name immediately before transforming and does immediately after .
Resolution
You may use Formidable Speaker’s enter trigger to find Brigid in your library because of . When Brigid enters the battlefield as Brigid, Clachan’s Heart, its enter trigger creates a 1/1 Kithkin. If Brigid is on its back face (Doun’s Mind), you may tap it for mana using its ability, then pay and tap Formidable Speaker to activate its untap ability targeting Brigid to untap it and tap Brigid again to produce mana again; Speaker’s ability targets another permanent so it can target Brigid but not itself. If Brigid transforms into Brigid, Clachan’s Heart, the front-face trigger will trigger on that transform event if it transformed into that face . The transform action doesn’t change the object itself, so any continuous effects remain .
