snapcaster mage targeting an archive trap.

Asked by Kornex2000 9 years ago

If I cast a Snapcaster Mage and target an Archive Trap that is in my graveyard after my opponent cracks a fetchland can I mill 13 for 0 mana or 5?

From Gatherer for the mage:

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.

You can only pay one alternative cost for a spell and you are using it up by casting it with flashback. So, you have to pay 5 mana if you want to cast it again.
