1. 2020-02-29

   If you cycle Blast from the Past, you can then use madness to cast it. If you cast Blast from the Past using madness, you may also pay for kicker or buyback.

2. 2020-02-29

   Flashback and buyback don't mix. If you cast Blast from the Past using flashback, it will be exiled rather than go back to your hand.

3. 2020-02-29

   Flashback and kicker do mix. You can pay the kicker cost in addition to the flashback cost to get the extra Goblin token.

4. 2022-12-08

   Casting a spell with madness ignores the timing rules based on the card's card type. For example, you can cast a sorcery with madness if you discard it during an opponent's turn.

5. 2022-12-08

   A spell cast for its madness cost is put onto the stack like any other spell. It can be countered, copied, and so on. As it resolves, it's put onto the battlefield if it's a permanent card or into its owner's graveyard if it's an instant or sorcery card.

6. 2022-12-08

   Cards are discarded in a Magic game only from a player's hand. Effects that put cards into a player's graveyard from anywhere else do not cause those cards to be discarded.

7. 2022-12-08

   If you discard a card with madness to pay the cost of a spell or activated ability, that card's madness triggered ability (and the spell that card becomes, if you choose to cast it) will resolve before the spell or ability the discard paid for.

8. 2022-12-08

   Madness works independently of why you're discarding the card. You could discard it to pay a cost, because a spell or ability tells you to, or because you have too many cards in your hand during your cleanup step. You can't discard a card with madness just because you want to, though.

9. 2022-12-08

   To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a madness cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

10. 2022-12-08

    A card with madness that's discarded counts as having been discarded even though it's put into exile rather than a graveyard. If it was discarded to pay a cost, that cost is still paid. Abilities that trigger when a card is discarded will still trigger.

11. 2022-12-08

    If you discard a card with madness while a spell or ability is resolving, it moves immediately to exile. Continue resolving that spell or ability, noting that the card you discarded is not in your graveyard at this time. Its madness triggered ability will be placed onto the stack once that spell or ability has completely resolved.

12. 2022-12-08

    If you choose not to cast a card with madness when the madness triggered ability resolves, it's put into your graveyard. Madness doesn't give you another chance to cast it later.

13. 2024-11-08

    To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

14. 2024-11-08

    If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."

15. 2024-11-08

    If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.

16. 2024-11-08

    If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.

17. 2024-11-08

    The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.

18. 2024-11-08

    If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
