How do modal double faced lands work?

The Modal Dual-Faced Cards from Zendikar Rising are unlike anything we’ve seen before. These cards have two faces and can be played as either side. A small cycle of them are lands on both sides that function as the dual lands of the set, but the rest are a spell on the front and a land on the back.

How do double sided cards work in magic?

Double-faced cards are always face up; they are never face down. If an effect (say, Ixidron) tries to turn a double-faced card face down, nothing happens. If any card or token other than a double-faced card is instructed to transform, nothing happens. It won’t be turned face down.

How many lands are in zendikar rising?
