Best scenario you would be able to play this card as early as turn 6. 5 if you are lucky and get lands that tap for two points of mana (Selesnya Sanctuary); it is a powerful card but it requires a lot of your deck to be built around it, and is late game card regardless.
The real answer is; does it excite you enough to want to play it?
Don’t worry too much about whether something is or isn’t good and just try to have some fun. You’ll learn to evaluate cards in time but you’ll never recapture the enjoyment of playing exciting cards.😄
depends on the format. my advice to beginners: don't stress too much about optimization and having the best cards. follow your heart and play what feels cool to you. maybe you'll discover you're a Spike that loves min-maxing, maybe you'll find joy making theme decks where all cards have hats.
as a sidenote, here's another silly "you can't lose the game" card carrying a player all the way. it is indeed a rare occurrence and objectively not a good card. but the high of pulling of a W with a silly card is the best part of the game for many , maybe for you too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5N0c1YJW-Q
It's essentially a "no, we're not done yet" emergency backup plan.
Flash means you can play it anytime, so you can use it to interrupt if your opponent is about to kill you in some way, OR if your opponent is about to use an "I win" effect. It's expensive ass-coverage when all else has failed.
it has the effect and is a big card but will paint an immediate target on your back since. yknow. that card Must be dealt with in order for them to Win
Flash lets you drop as needed it if you would lose the game, like on someone else's turn, but you need to be able to protect it or find some way to keep yourself from dying if it gets killed so you don't lose as soon as it vanishes.
It could win you the game if everyone has used up all their removal spells and could keep you alive when you're up against a poison counter deck. It'll also probably teach that one guy who refuses to add removal to their deck a valuable lesson.
