Casting from graveyard
Asked by Synergix 12 years ago
Does the ability of Guttersnipe for instance, triggers when I cast a creature from a graveyard via the flashback ability

...but not when you cast a creature, just instant and sorcery spells.

Creatures don't have flashback. Only instants and sorceries have flashback.
Also, creatures are not instants and sorceries, so Guttersnipe will never trigger for a creature cast regardless of how of from where you cast it.

Yes, because you are still casting the spell, just from your graveyard.
From the Comprehensive Rules (Innistrad)
702.32. Flashback
702.32a Flashback appears on some instants and sorceries. It represents two static abilities: one that functions while the card is in a player's graveyard and the other that functions while the card is on the stack. "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack." Casting a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2e-g.
