Flashback is a keyword ability.

Details[]

It is a static ability that appears on some instant and sorcery cards. A spell with flashback may be cast from your graveyard for an alternate cost at any time you could normally cast the spell. If a card is spelt this way it is exiled as the spell resolves.

Example[]

Aaron has an Artful Dodge in his graveyard. At any point he could normally cast Artful Dodge, he can pay 1 Blue Mana to cast it.

Comprehensive Rules[]

702.33. Flashback

  • 702.33a. Flashback appears on some instants and sorceries. It represents two static abilities: one that functions while the card is in a player's graveyard and another that functions while the card is on the stack. "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."
