that Flashback cost increased to 6 mana.This is understandable given the additional trigger that adds a +1/+1 counter to the souls, but if you just want to get a few souls on the board and end the game quickly, it's well worth the cost.

Historian Lorehold
Standard & Commander
The elder dragon for whom Lorehold University is named is the historian Lorehold.A legendary 5/5 flying creature with haste. Don't mess up.
Considering the sheer power of the card, 5 mana is a reasonable casting cost.But if you can keep it on the battlefield beyond your turn, those five mana are worth it.
