Purify the Grave, Instant, designed by Drew Baker first released in Sep, 2011 in the set Innistrad and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
A deck that focuses on graveyard interaction, such as a control or reanimator deck, would benefit from using Purify the Grave. While Purify the Grave is a solid choice for graveyard hate in a white deck due to its low cost and flashback ability, other cards like Rest in Peace or Tormod's Crypt may offer more impactful and permanent graveyard hate options. Whether Purify the Grave should see play depends on the specific strategy and metagame of the deck it's being considered for.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.

“Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.”

Purify the Grave can’t be used in response to a spell being cast with flashback or a spell that requires cards to exiled from a graveyard as an additional cost to try and counter the spell or prevent it from being cast.
