flare of denial vs simulacrum synthesizer
Timeless, casual vs LordMurios ! 02DEC25 ~ 1530 CST.
I have island + island up, Opponent plays simulacrum synthesizer (SS), I flash in snapcaster mage targeting flare of denial in the graveyard, then the simulacrum resolves without giving me the chance to sacrifice snapcaster to counter the SS by paying the alternate cost of sacrificing a nontoken blue creature.

Not a bug. You want to cast the spell via flashback, which is an alternative cost. You can only use one alternative cost when casting a spell, so the Flare's own alternative cost is not available to you. Additonally, you couldn't use that one anyway, because the flashback cost is equal to the card's mana cost, so to flash it back, you have to pay the flashback cost, not any other alternative cost.
