Rulings

• 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.2025-11-17
• 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.2025-11-17
• "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."2025-11-17
• If a card in your hand is already revealed (perhaps because it was revealed to pay a cost of a spell that's still on the stack or due to the effect of a card like Telepathy), you may reveal it again to pay the cost of another spell or ability that requires you to reveal a card from your hand.2025-11-17
• If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.2025-11-17
• To behold three Elementals, you can reveal three Elemental cards from your hand, choose three Elementals you control on the battlefield, or reveal and choose any combination that adds up to three. You can't behold the same object more than once to pay this cost.2025-11-17
• 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 copied creature will also work.2025-11-17
• If a cost to cast a spell includes revealing a card, that card remains revealed from the time the spell is announced until the time it leaves the stack.2025-11-17
• Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Morcant's Eyes is an Elf (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Elf card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.2025-11-17
• If the copied creature is a token, the token that's created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token, with the listed exceptions.2025-11-17
• While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.2025-11-17
• If the copied creature is copying something else, then the token enters as whatever that creature copied, with the listed exceptions.2025-11-17
• If an effect refers to a "[subtype] card," it refers only to a card that has that subtype. For example, Glen Elendra's Answer creates a Faerie token and features a Faerie in its art, but it isn't a Faerie card.2025-11-17
• The token created by Kindle the Inner Flame copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, with the listed exceptions (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 Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.2025-11-17
• A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.2025-11-17
• Some older cards were originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred." This change does not affect the gameplay function of these cards.2025-11-17
