keyword:"Flash"

Flash is a keyword ability which allows the card it is printed on to be casted at any time you could cast an Instant.

Description

Flash first appeared in the Time Spiral expansion,[1] its first appearance in a core set was in Tenth Edition.[2] Although this ability existed before Time Spiral, this is the first time it was used a keyword. The earliest card with Flash is King Cheetah from Visions. Older cards with this ability have received errata to give them Flash.[3]

Flash is primary in blue, secondary in green and black and tertiary in white and red.[4][5][6]
