Graveyard Recast

Effects that unlock casting spells straight out of a graveyard: the card is cast from the yard, never returning to hand or entering as a creature first. Yawgmoth's Will lets you play lands and cast spells from your graveyard for a turn; Past in Flames, Snapcaster Mage, and Recoup grant flashback to instants/sorceries in the yard; Underworld Breach gives every nonland card escape; Chainer, Nightmare Adept lets you cast a creature spell from your graveyard each turn; Mizzix's Mastery exiles and recasts a spell from it. These are the Storm and cEDH graveyard engines. Distinct from graveyard.recursion, which returns a card to your HAND for a normal later cast, and from graveyard.reanimation, which puts a creature directly onto the battlefield, whereas graveyard_recast casts the spell itself from the yard. Also distinct from the plain Flashback or Escape keyword printed on a single card, which only recasts THAT card via its own alternative cost; this tag is the engine that opens graveyard-casting for your whole yard or a chosen card.
