Gameplay

Creature — Sphinx

Flash (You may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant.) Flying Whenever this creature attacks, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to that card's mana cost. (You may cast that card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

2024-11-08wotc

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.

2024-11-08wotc

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