A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
- Sep 24, 2021
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.
- Sep 24, 2021
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.
