Snapcaster Mage Flashing Back for card with "X"
Asked by Esper_Silence 11 years ago
is that possible?
Just wondering if I were to cast Snapcaster Mage can I bring back cards like Syncopate & Sphinx's Revelation & pay my choice for X?
Thanks!
This question was literally asked 15 hours before you asked it. There is 8 questions between this one and the other one.
I don't mean to sound so rude, but how could you be so lazy as to not quickly check?

@Denial048- Tons of questions get asked daily. Esper_Silence probably wasn't hanging out in the Q&A all day, so he didn't notice the question being asked earlier in the day. And to be fair, when I post a question, I don't scour past questions to see if something similar has been posted. Each question provides a chance for new eyes to see it, and new discussion to happen. Tons of questions get repeated, but that's not detrimental in any way. It just helps more players learn.

Fair enough. As I said, I don't mean to sound rude, and I have had a hard day today. Move along, nothing to see here.

You can flashback cards with X their cost using Snapcaster Mage . Snapcaster Mage gives instant or sorceries in your graveyard a flashback cost equal to their mana cost. This means that Syncopate will have flashback of XU and you will be able to choose the X value and pay for it as usual. The only scenario in which you must choose 0 for X is when the spell is being played without paying its mana cost, like with Cascade.
