do creatures with flash also have haste

Asked by Hundredand80 9 years ago

if a creature with flash comes in on the active players turn can it attack?

No,

flash just means that you can cast them at any time you could cast an instant.

Haste is something totally different, that is in no way connected with Flash. I figure you know what Haste does :-)

And if your creature has haste and it is being cast in an opponents turn, you still cant even attack in that turn. Since you don't have an attack phase in an opponents turn. So, you still have to wait for your turn to start your combat phase in which you can declare your attackers.

The creature that was casted with flash in your oppnents turn can attack in your turn. Also without haste.

"Summoning sickness" is defined as "this creature cannot attack or activate abilities with in its cost unless you have continuously controlled it since the beginning of your last upkeep."

Haste allows a creature to effectively ignore the restrictions set forth by Summoning Sickness.

Flash is defined as "you may cast this card any time you could cast an instant."

They do not coincide with each other whatsoever.

For best results, flash in the creature at the end of your opponent's turn so it will be ready to go once your turn starts.
