Title: Unexpected Results, Flashback
Post by: Thatguy on February 01, 2013, 08:28:43 AM
With {Unexpected Results} in the yard, what happens if you flash it back with  {Snapcaster Mage} into a land? Does it exile or return to hand as it resolves?

Im guessing its exiled as you cast it and when it resolves theres no longer a card to be returned to your hand.
Unsure though.

You got it, Fenster! Whenever a card with flashback is cast, it is exiled at any time it leaves the stack.

702.32a Flashback appears on some instants and sorceries. It represents two static abilities: one that functions while the card is in a player's graveyard and the other that functions while the card is on the stack. "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." Casting a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2e-g.
