"Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

Dralnu may be one of the permanents you sacrifice while applying its replacement effect.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If a card has multiple instances of flashback, you may choose any of its flashback costs to pay.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If a split card gains flashback, you pay only the cost of the half you're casting.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If a card with no mana cost gains flashback, it has no flashback cost. It can't be cast this way.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If you cast an instant or sorcery with {X} in its mana cost this way, you still choose the value of X as part of casting the spell and pay that cost.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If any of the sacrificed permanents would deal or be dealt damage at the same time as Dralnu, they deal or are dealt damage at the same time that they're sacrificed. Any abilities of the sacrificed permanents that would trigger on that damage don't trigger, but abilities of other permanents that trigger on that damage do.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If you cast a spell with flashback, you can't pay any alternative costs such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell with flashback.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If Dralnu would be dealt more damage than the number of permanents you control, instead you sacrifice all permanents you control.
