"Gains flashback" ?

Does anyone know if there is a way to give Flashback to a card in DOTP2013 ?
(trying to code Snapcaster Mage)

I've searched in every dotp2010/2012/2013 card, it doesn't seem that such a card is coded yet. Doesn't mean it's not possible though :D

Flashback needs to have a FLASHBACK_COST written in the card XML, so you can't code something like that without making big approximations (like adding an activated ability to the chosen card that lets you play it from the graveyard). If that wasn't enough, you also need to get the exact mana cost in order to pay it: I made functions that retrieve the mana costs through ChromaCount but I'm quite sure they wouldn't work with hybrid or phyrexian mana.
