If someone declares they are flashing back Artful Dodge, can I then use Shadowfeed to stop it?

OR

If I use Shadowfeed on Artful Dodge, can he then respond and cast Artful Dodge for its flashback cost?

Shadowfeed -> [c]Shadowfeed[/c]
Artful Dodge

1) No. By the time you have priority to respond, artful dodge is on the stack, not in the graveyard.

2) No, artful dodge is a sorcery. If it was an instant he could.

Or if he had some way to cast it as an instant, he could respond.

It's important to remember that there is a fundamental difference between the mechanics of Unearth and Flashback. Unearth is an activated ability that doesn't do anything to the card until it resolves (so a Shadowfeed in response could stop it). Flashback isn't an activated ability. It's a static ability that allows the card to be cast from the graveyard.
Ever feel like people on these forums can't possibly understand how wrong they are? Feeling trolled? Don't get mad. Report Post.
