Archmage's Newt

RareColour IDMV 2
Creature — Salamander Mount
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost. That card gains flashback until end of turn instead if this creature is saddled. (You may cast that card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)
