Let’s consider Dusk///Dawn as an example split card here:

Snapcaster Mage grants Dawn /// Dusk flashback with a flashback cost equal to its mana cost. When it’s in the graveyard, its mana cost is 5WWWW, so that’s what its flashback cost is there.

However, the value of this flashback cost is constantly re-evaluated as per CR 702.1b: “An effect that grants an object a keyword ability may define a variable in that ability, such as X or its “[keyword ability] cost,” based on characteristics of that object or other information about the game state. For these abilities, the value of that variable is constantly reevaluated.”

When we go to cast the card from the graveyard, we choose which half we’re casting as we put it on the stack. When we choose to put Dusk on the stack, the flashback cost granted by Snapcaster Mage is now only 2WW because that’s Dusk’s mana cost on the stack, since the characteristics of Dawn are treated as though they don’t exist as per CR 708.3b. So when you choose to pay the flashback cost, that’s the alternate cost that’s locked in at that time.

Me: Do you have a pair of tweezers?

Partner: *rummages around drawers for a minute and pulls out a pair of pliers* Here

Haha, you did it right this time :)

25. You just found $100! How are you going to spend it?

- Ideally, I shouldn’t be spending any more money because I am in debt :/ But! I will probably spend it on games and merch :P

64. What do you think about babies?

- Some can be cute, but some can be devil children… Basically, there’s only two things that make me broody: Fictional children, and real life metal/punk children :3 I love baby metalheads. They’re so cute! <3

35. Are you a good….[insert anything you’d like here]?

- I think you were supposed to insert something here. But I just want you to know. Whatever it is, I am absolutely, positively, shit at it XD

31. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?

- I used to have these feelings. But now, looking back, the shit that happened to me back then has made me the person I am now :) And I quite like the person I am now. So, no, I don’t think I would really erase anything.

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

- I wish I wasn’t so hairy sometimes :P But really, I wish I wasn’t so lazy. I wish I could stop procrastinating easier and wish I could do stuff more. Also wish I could do stuff well too XD

23. What is one unique thing you’re afraid of?

- Black holes. I’m scared a black hole will suck the world into it while I’m still alive.

55. Can you do any accents other than your own?

- Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, no :P

I was tagged by ninyin ^.^

1.) What is your fondest childhood memory?

As soon as I read this question my mind went completely blank but the one memory that always makes me smile, is of when I went to Pakistan, me and my cousins always snook out the house and climbed the drain pipes, scaled the walls and played tag on the roof tops. They were some good good times :) 

2.) What’s your favourite ice-cream flavour?

Strawberry FTW. Don't care if people think that's boring, it is the best flavour 5ever :P

3.) When you’re down, what never fails to pick you back up again?

My legs...no no no...my best friend :) She's the craziest person that exists and never fails to make me laugh. Just glancing at her when she's eating leaves me in hysterics. She is the definition of awesome :D

4.) If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

I'd be a tiger, RAWR, for their fierceness, strength and confidence. The way they walk as if they own the world (like all cats), for their gracefulness and beauty. Their independence, they are lone cats, not like lions, but they'll share their territory if the situation arises. There is something so mysterious about them, as if they know the secrets of the world. No one would dare mess with a tiger and if they did, they might not live to tell the tale. (Clearly I have none of these traits but they embody what I want to be).

5.) If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

I'd go to South Africa to work for a wildlife conservation project (and be at one with the Tigers.)

6.) Write one thing you hate and one thing you love about the place you live in right now.

I hate how I feel so lonely and far from nearly everyone I'm close to but I love the independence I have here.

7.) What are your 3 biggest dreams?

To be an extremely successful Musician.

To become a brilliant humanitarian.  

To live to see a world where bullshit phobias like Islamophobia and homophobia don't exist and that everyone has the human rights we are all entitled to, everyone is treated equally and that there is no poverty, corruption or war. 

8.) What are your 3 biggest fears?

The dark, to be more specific, what you can't see in the dark e.g. ghosts, demons, monsters etc etc (Let me see a thief or a murderer any day!) 

Looking back at my life and being consumed with bitter regret at the things I did not do.

(If one day I'm lucky enough to have children), being a terrible mother who has a poisonous relationship with my children and eventually pushes them away.

9.) Would you rather loose all of your senses, or loose all of your emotions?

I'd rather loose all my emotions. If I lost all my senses then I imagine it to be like I'm trapped in a dark silent box, so if I only have my emotions then it'd be my idea of torture and I'd eventually go insane where as if I had all my senses and no emotions, at least I'd still be able to live, and without the ability to feel, I wouldn't be able to feel sad about not being able to feel :p

10.) What book/film/show/game are you into at the moment, what do you like about it?

One Piece. Watch it. Or miss out on the greatest show to have ever existed. 

11.) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

I see myself a lot stronger and wiser than I am now, closer to my dream and hopefully not as lost.

 ~~~~~

Ok! My turn:

1.) If you met a genie who could grant you 3 wishes, (and you couldn't wish for more wishes) what would you wish for? 

2.) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?

3.) If you were going to die at midnight, what would you be doing at 11:45pm?

4.) Do you fear death and why?

5.) What's your favourite thing to do?

6.) Who or what inspires you and why?

7.) What are your pet-peeves?

8.) If you could get your revenge on the last person who hurt you , would you and what would you do?

9.) If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?

10.) Do you have any strange phobias?
