For Challenge # 121. Flashback was good for casting multiple spells. Jeskai likes to cast multiple spells, but we can't use Flashback. So Flashforward takes a little from Flashback, and a little from Miracle, and still leaves behind a card in the graveyard for Sultai to use later.
Originally, I wanted the Flashforward to be triggerable whenever you looked at the card in your library (I was going blue/black with this first.) I decided against it, because I figured it wouldn't make sense to be casting spells in the middle of another spell's effect. But now that I think of it... That's pretty much what Panglacial Wurm and Miracle do. Hmm.
So... It's basically a more powerful version of Miracle?
Technically, yes. But Miracle was built to cast explosive spells for very cheap. This is meant to let you cast utility spells twice. You could also think of it as a less powerful version of Rebound. To be honest, I didn't even notice that Dragons included Rebound until I made this comment and looked up the wording on rebound (go me, for paying attention.) So I was on the right track, but maybe this isn't the best execution.
