Title: Flashback Beacon

I couldn't find anything about this:

If I have a Beacon sorcery in my graveyard and give it flashback (like the Otaria plane card), do I shuffle it into my library after it resolves - because that's what the card says - or do I have to exile it - due to flashback - , or do I do both?

You exile it!

The exiling is a replacement effect, so whenever it would go ANYWHERE other than the stack when you pay its flashback, its exiled!

The ruling you would want for that would be for blast from the past.

Doesn't it activate in order, so the card comes out and its effects begin to resolve and then the replacement effect adds in and it resolves first which places it out of play?

It doesn't work when you combine flashback and buyback, I don't see why a beacon would work

What are you even asking...?!

The spell is played for its flashback cost and it moves to the stack! As part of its effect it would be shuffled, but flashback replaces that, so its exiled!

The rules for flashback (I can't remember specifically the rule number) states that flashback exiles the card instead of putting it anywhere else. That includes library, hand, any other zone.

Lin paying the buyback cost on a card cast with flashback is pointless, for the reason Pinkie gave the card is exiled when it leaves the stack even if it is trying to go to your hand.

The only way to prevent the flashbacked spell from being exiled is to exile before it leaves the stack, such as with ertais meddling

When you end the turn at a time youre not supposed to (time stop, sundial, etc!) it exiles all spells and abilities on the stack!
