About Daydream

Daydream, Sorcery, designed by Nia Kovalevski first released in April 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Standard and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.51.

Daydream fits best in white-based blink/value decks in formats like Commander or casual Constructed, especially those built around enter-the-battlefield (ETB) effects (e.g., creatures like Spirited Companion, Recruiter of the Guard, or Solitude) or +1/+1 counter synergies, since it protects a creature from removal, retriggers ETB abilities, and permanently grows it; it also works nicely in Aristocrats-style shells to dodge exile-based removal and reuse utility creatures. However, in most competitive formats it would likely be outclassed by more efficient or flexible options like Ephemerate (cheaper and rebounds for a second blink), Cloudshift (one mana instant), or more powerful protection spells like Teferi’s Protection or Flawless Maneuver in Commander, depending on the deck’s goals. The flashback gives Daydream decent late-game value, but at three mana total it’s slower than the best blink spells, so it would probably see play mainly in slower, synergy-driven Commander decks rather

Rules

03/20/2026

"Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard if the resulting spell is an instant or sorcery spell by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

03/20/2026

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.

03/20/2026

Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist. Once the exiled permanent returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was.

03/20/2026

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

03/20/2026

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.

03/20/2026

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

03/20/2026

You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
