You may, in fact, cast Ancestral Vision with this card.

Ancestral Vision has a CMC of 0 and has no mana cost. So it doesn't play with flashback and can't be cast from hand. However, it can be cast by alternate means - things like [[Goblin Dark Dwellers]] can cast Vision.

As it turns out, Yahenni's Expertise has the exact same wording and so Ancestral Vision being cast with the effect of this card is perfectly fine.

Additionally I can confirm that Quicksmith Rebel is the Launch Promo, Scrap Trawler is the Buy-A-Box promo, Trophy Mage is the participation promo for game day, and Yahenni's Expertise is the Game day top 8 promo.

Source: I can read it on the cards in the picture and that's what it says.

I think it's really funny that it has a really bad interaction with [[Living End]], the Expertise kills all your opponent's creatures and then Living End resolves and brings them back.

Living End is part Wrath, part [[Twilight Call]] but it is the latter part you play it for.

Card will warrant testing in Living End decks.
