Best Flash cards in MTG
Flash: A spell with Flash can be cast any time you could cast an instant.
Flash gives you the ability to deploy creatures and permanents on your opponent's turn, holding up reactive options like blockers, counterspells, or removal. It creates strong bluffing potential since opponents must respect open mana. Ambushing an attacker with a Flash blocker can win combat outright and generate huge tempo.
FAQ
- Can I cast a Flash creature during my opponent's combat?
- Yes. Flash lets you cast it at instant speed, so you can deploy a blocker after attackers are declared, as long as you do so before blockers are declared.
- Does Flash let me cast a creature for free or change its cost?
- No. Flash only changes the timing of when you can cast the spell; you still pay its normal mana cost.
