About Lava Dart

Lava Dart, Instant, designed by Darrell Riche first released in May, 2002 in the set Judgment and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.61.

This card, Lava Dart, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on quick and aggressive strategies, such as a burn or tempo deck in Magic: The Gathering. It provides a cheap and efficient way to deal damage to creatures or players while also having the potential for additional value with its flashback ability. However, there are potentially better cards like Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning that offer more immediate impact for the same cost, so the decision to include Lava Dart would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck.

Rules

03/19/21

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 converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

03/19/21

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

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard 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.”
