Flash

‘Flash’ was intro­duced in the Time Spi­ral block as a for­mal­iza­tion for a pre­vi­ous rules text stat­ing that a crea­ture may be cast as an instant.

702.8. Flash

  • 702.8a. Flash is a sta­tic abil­ity that func­tions in any zone from which you could play the card it’s on. “Flash” means “You may play this card any time you could cast an instant.”
  • 702.8b. Mul­ti­ple instances of flash on the same object are redundant.

Trans­la­tion:

  • 702.8a. Flash is always active and puts in place the abil­ity for this crea­ture to be cast any time you can cast an instant.
  • 702.8b. Flash is redun­dant, mul­ti­ple instances does no good.
