The wording is weird, it makes it sound like you could optionally pay more for your flash spells lel

Maybe something like

> You may cast spells as though they had flash if you pay {1} more to cast them.

Mix-matching the likes of Into the Pit and Asinine Antics.

Since you pay extra, I think, this body+effect is not worth mana value 4 - especially on a legendary.

Compare Tidal Barracuda.

Tidal Barracude is hard to compare to since it was printed in a commander product making it only legal for that format as well as legacy and vintage. With that in mind, it seems (commander) multiplayer oriented, where its abilities aren't without their drawbacks or at least aren't without benefit to your opponents.
