(POPUPDIALOGWAIT "When you play a card with flashback, it goes on the stack, so its no longer in your graveyard. \n\nYour opponent canÆt try to remove that card from your graveyard in response because it won't be there anymore." 1)

(POPUPDIALOGWAIT "When a spell played with flashback resolves or is countered, it is removed from the game and never goes to its ownerÆs graveyard. \n\nAbilities that trigger on cards being put in a graveyard wonÆt trigger when this happens." 1)
