Blast from the Past (Unhinged) - Community - Gatherer

There are no comments yet for this card.

The funniest thing to me is unlike most of the silver-bordered stuff it's a reasonable card, if a bit complicated, though no moreso than many "legit" cards. That's an expensive 1/1 token, but what the hell.

Based on what I always thought I knew about Magic rules - when you cast this for

you have the option to pay the buyback

cost in addition so it goes back to your hand and you can do it for as long as you have the mana. If you pay without buyback it goes to your graveyard on resolution like any other instant, but with flashback you can play it one more time before it goes to the exile zone. Either way you can get a minimum of two shots with it.

I love the Tempest block for many reasons and buyback was excellent on certain cards. I've probably cast Capsize more times than anything else, now that I think about it. I once staved off defeat with Captize for dozens of turns until the other guy drew himself to death.

for a cantrip Shock is pretty fair; compare Electrolyze at

, which is a cantrip Forked Bolt instead.
