@Nate: It isn't the top-rated people in Innistrad because noobs don't understand its power, or because people are just hating on it for being too powerful. (The latter is also the reason why Jace, the Mind Sculptor has a 4.07 instead of a 5.0.

If you give a spell flashback using Señor Snappy, it loses flashback when it leaves the stack (is cast, then exiled), so you cannot use Runic Repetition unless the card has Flashback printed on the card. The ruling is here:
An effect that gives flashback to an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard stops applying once that card has left the stack. The card won't have flashback while exiled and can't be the target of Runic Repetition (unless it naturally has flashback).

Anyone know how this card interracts with 'Buyback'?
I will be using Snapcaster Mage in my Azami EDH deck when I get my grubby little hands on one, but am wondering how it would interract with cards like Capsize
EDIT: I just noticed that snapcaster is banned in EDH. Great... Now I wont be putting my grubby little hands anywhere near one.

Dear Settsue,
You said
"If you couldn't cast the costless Time Spiral spells for free for the reasons you claim the how can you cast them in the first place? The mechanic flashback alone gives you the ability to play that card from your graveyard. it does not say that it has to have a converted mana cost of 1 or greater. it says that " target instant or sorcery in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. (period) the flashback cost is equal to its CONVERTED MANA COST. Cards like Pact of Negation have a converted mana cost of (0) that does not mean the do not have a converted mana cost.
So. don't be angry because someone out there figured this out and is using it to their advantage. You'll just have to learn to play around it."
Unfortunately, you have misunderstood the text of this card. Snapcaster Mage says "The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost." It does not say converted mana cost, as you assumed. Converted mana cost is a number, while mana co... (see all)

I can't wait for Return to Ravnica to come out. Who knows what Izzet will cook up for this guy to use.

How about this with Havengul Lich? You get to pay three extra mana to flashback a spell, and a recurring 2/1 with flash! Add in Heartless Summoning or a sacrifice outlet and you have quite a fun deck!

I'm still sad that you can't pay Overload costs with Snappy targeting such cards in your graveyard. Think of the possibilities!

Hilarious. By the current rating, Snapcaster is the 9th best card in Innistrad. After tournament staples such as Mindshrieker and Bloodgift Demon.
FFS this is played in Vintage.

This card plays very nicely in a lot of blue control decks. This card really shows it's true power when you have a graveyard full of cards and a way to bounce him once or twice.. Bonus points if Grand Arbiter Augustin IV is on the table.

@ sargatanas_1979
A sorcery with flashback is still a sorcery. Sorcerys can only be cast on your turn. Flashback is an alternitive CASTing cost. So.. your CASTing it, and you can only CAST Socerys on your turn...
So no, you can't flashback a Socery on an opponets turn.
