I'd probably run it. In :symb::symg::symw:, with plenty of ways to offset life loss, I'd probably prefer Reanimate, but as you're likely looking for multiple options, I'd probably run both.
I run it in my Kaalia of the Vast deck and it's great. Flashback always seems to be underestimated by a lot of players... saved me plenty of times. Very solid recursion card in my opinion. Use it!
It's not the best recursion card in the game, but it is really solid. It's similar to Beacon of Unrest, in my opinion. It doesn't grab artifacts, but I've flashed it back more often than I've drawn the Beacon a second time.
I generally prefer dread return even in my B/W decks but they tend to be token based. I like the flashback option but beacon of unrest and rise from the grave both give you the option to hit opponent's graveyards and that matters
This, plus things like Fact or Fiction. Being able to dump fatties into the yard while not having to rely on drawing your reanimation spells into your hand is very good.
On top of that, I feel like flashback in general in EDH is great, at least those spells that have decent regular costs and flashback costs. It's the equivalent of be able to stuff extra cards in your deck.
I would generally run unburial rites over most other 4/5 mana recursion options like beacon and miraculous recovery. A fair flashback cost makes it really solid as a card advantage option if you get a lot of creatures into your own graveyard. It synergizes really well with cards like liliana of the veil and is generally useful. Entombable as well.
running unburial rites means that entomb can find either the reanimation target or the reanimation spell. the added versitility alone makes it worth running.
two zombifys glued into one card? in my very honest opinion, it's the best reanimation spell in edh. sure you cant hit opponents GYs with it, but if you are running reanimation in these colors, u probably have some good bombs of your own anyways. i respect anybody else's disagreements, but i just have to say it once more, it's the best reanimation spell in edh
