Official rulings

11 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

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

2024-11-08 · 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.

2024-11-08 · 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.

2024-11-08 · 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.

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

Any "enters" abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the target creature will also work.

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

If the copied creature is a token, the new token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created the token.

2024-11-08 · 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.

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, power and toughness, and so on.

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

"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."

2024-11-08 · Wizards of the Coast

If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters as whatever that creature copied.
