You can do anything you want! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You have piqued my curiosity sir
For other crazyness, if you flashback and buyback the same spell, it still gets exiled

Important if you run
I think I'll allow flashback and buyback to put Blast from the Past in your hand as a house rule, but it's never come up.
Might be TOO GOOD AHHH nah it's probably fine though I just stick to the official rules... for an Un-card...

Yes. You announce the ability, make required choices (including, but not limited to, choosing targets, charm modes or the value of X in a spell), then pay the cost, then resolve the ability.bump
this is a custom card question sort of but if i have a permanent with
"
do you have to choose the color before seeing the card (buffing millikin)
I thought you only had to choose modes and targets before resolution.
yeah you only choose modes, targets, and X before resolution, so he didn't answer my question

Did too? You might have missed it, but there's a "Yes" at the start of my answer. Everything after that is an explanation why. You have to make the choice of which color of mana to generate before you pay the cost of the ability. Since milling yourself is part of the cost, you don't get to see the card before you have to choose a color.
Incidentally, the question you posted to Ask a Magic Judge formulated is in reverse, so there the answer is "No".
the "yes" was accurate but the other bit was inaccurate, there's plenty of choices you don't make in magic until resolution of the ability. a seemingly analogous example would be mother of runes but you choose the color upon resolution of her ability

Paying the costs for an ability or a spell is always the last step in activating/casting it, so I believe you choose the color before you tap Mother of Runes. Because neither player receive priority until after costs are paid this is of course nothing more than a technicality. The color is chosen and the Mother is tapped before either player can react. There are of course plenty of cards which do involve a choice after the spell being cast, like Fact or Fiction and Innocent Blood, but as far as I'm aware Mother of Runes isn't one of them.
http://www.gatheringmagic.com/do-you-really-know-how-to-cast-spells/ lists some good examples. I didn't know that bit about Locath and Momentous Fall, that's brilliant (and brilliantly confusing)

o_O I am baffled.
Edit: Also
You choose the color as Gods Willing resolves. Once the color is chosen, it’s too late for players to respond.
Edit2: In that case the judge's answer to your question does not make sense.
Also, yay! I learned something today!

I think I want to try out:
It protects any permanent for a single white mana and does a hell of a Brave the Elements impersonation while on low life.

Yeah, I run that already. Faith's Shield is going to take the place of Ajani's Presence, which didn't do anything.

Does this card do anything anymore? Who orders blockers?
