The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

so the sprout swarm idea has been tried many times in the past, but i wanted to see if paradx engine helps the brew. i also used an abnormally low number of creatures, but included snapcaster because it helps make more uses of cards like remand and serum vision which find combo pieces. overall, the combo is amazingly potent, even if the low creature count seems sketchy at first.
get as many man dorks out early as possible and try to quickly get up either intruder alaram, jeskai ascendency or paradox engine so you can get free saprolings with sprout swarm. forbidden orchard can also be used to untap your mana dorks for more mana or convoke if you have intruder alarm up. eventually reach a point where you cast inifinite tokens that either kill your opponent next turn or already did so because you had impact tremors down

NOTE: Set by owner when deck was made.
The exile replacement ability clause on flashback actually out-trumps the buyback ability of it going into your hand. A more modern rules relation is Remand vs a spell that has been flashed back. Normally remand would send the card back to it's owners hand, but flashback causes it to be exiled after it has been cast. Flashback waits for the spell to leave the stack and exiles it as a replacement ability.

Just looked up the rules myself, and sadly, this flashback interaction results in Sprout Swarm getting exiled. The best way to retrieve it is with cards like Mystic Retrieval; Scribe of the Mindful; Call to Mind; Noxious Revival; Revive; or Eternal Witness. But personally, I've found 4x Sprout Swarm to be more than enough. Now, about Paradox Engine, I think it's a key card in what you're attempting. I'd either bump it up to 3x to see it more often in games, or include something that can search for it, like Fabricate. Also, at {5}, a way to cast it a little earlier couldn't hurt. Chief Engineer and Battle Hymn come to mind.
Thanks for the info, will edit the deck later
I'd suggest adding in Mass hysteria so that all your creatures have haste and you can used them for Sprout Swarm costs.
You can use convoke with creatures that have Summoning sickness. It's the spell that taps them.
Oh ok, we always had that as a house rule when convoke came out so I assumed that it remained the same.
I wouldn't be able to abuse Sprout Swarm without the ability to tap summoning sickness creatures in my Sprout Swarm deck.
