Flash is a keyword ability which allows the card it is printed on to be played at any time you could play an Instant. Flash first appeared in the Time Spiral expansion [1], its first appearance in a core set is in Magic 2013. 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. [2]
