not sure, but I don't think so.

Dralnu says its flashback cost becomes equal to its casting cost AS YOU PLAY IT, but since you can never PLAY it as it HAS no casting cost, I don't think it works. not sure though.

No you cannot use Dralnu's ability because "cards without mana costs cannot be played" unless a mechanic or ability let's you.

Flashback isn't an ability? I don't know either way though...

Ancestral Visions has no mana cost to begin with, therefore, it cannot be "flashed-back" because there would be no cost.

You can only play Ancestral Vision if something lets you play it 'without paying its mana cost' or if it gives it an alternative cost.

Dralnu, Lich Lord just gives it a Flashback cost which is equal to the mana cost i.e. non-existant. You can't pay a non-existant cost, whether it is a mana cost or a flashback cost.

How the hell am I supposed to know who's a level 3 judge? To be honest I don't really take anyone's word on it and I had to look it up myself.


edit: Judge not mage
