Best Flashback cards in MTG
Flashback: Flashback lets you cast a spell from your graveyard by paying its Flashback cost, after which the spell is exiled instead of going back to the graveyard.
Flashback gives spells built-in card advantage by letting you cast them twice, which is excellent for value-oriented and grindy decks. Plan your sequencing so the spell ends up in your graveyard, sometimes via discard or self-mill, to use the Flashback cost later. It pairs well with effects that recur or copy graveyard spells.
