Can Archive trap and Snapcaster combo?

Asked by jay2rockusa 10 years ago

Would you be able to play Archive Trap for the zero casting cost off of Snapcaster Mage

Link all cards in your question.
Archive Trap
Snapcaster Mage

No. Always check the Gatherer rulings before asking a question.

10/1/2012: You can't pay other alternative costs of a card you're casting from your graveyard using flashback. For example, if the instant or sorcery has an overload cost, you can't pay that cost.

Please link all cards in your question:

Archive Trap

Snapcaster Mage

No, when casting a spell you may only pay its mana cost or one alternate casting cost. Flashback and the casting cost are both alternate casting costs and so you can not pay 0 to flashback you would have to pay to cast it from the graveyard with Snapcaster Mage
