Tracker's Instincts

You must put a creature card from among the revealed cards into your hand if one is there, even if you'd rather put all the revealed cards into your graveyard.

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

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