Nicol Bolas, the Ravager card rulling question

[bigdogdch]

Was playing on cockatrice today and my opponent said that he could exile Nicol Bolas, the Ravager from the graveyard and transform him into the planeswalker and put him onto the battlefield
Is this correct?

Thanks

Unless he had a spell or ability that said to do so...

6/22/2015: A 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, in which case it enters with its back face up.

Thats what I thought

This is one of the things I hated about cockatrice. I loved it was free, but people would coooooooooonstantly try to pull crap like this, or quick-click really fast hoping you’d miss their extra draws or double triggers. Drove me crazy

Just so you know, unless it states that Nicol Bolas, the Ravager 's ability can be activated from the graveyard, then you cannot use it.
It must be on the battlefield for you to activate its exile ability.
That's why most graveyard activated abilities, you see on zombies will state it in the ability description.
I've made this mistake before.
