If my opponent plays a spell and in response I play Snapcaster Mage and recast a Spell Pierce that is in my graveyard, will that effectively counter my opponents spell or will it have already resolved by the time I flashback Spell Pierce? |

I am pretty sure that it works on a similar principle to Standstill, and that you can therefore play Snapcaster Mage, allow him to resolve (assuming no interference from the opponent), and then flash back your Spell Pierce to counter whatever your opponent played.
That's why Snapcaster is what, a $30 card or so?

Ok that's what I though to, but I just wanted to double check.

The only ruling I could find on Snapcaster's Gatherer page is that if the card you target already has a flashback cost, you can pay that or its mana cost to flash it back. Which doesn't help you in this particular question.
But I saw on the discussion page that people mentioned one counter or another in reference to this card, which seems to confirm my understanding of how it works.

Just to add a couple more questions regarding Snapcaster. I assume this will work but I want to be sure. If I have Snapcaster in play and flashback a Mental Misstep or a Force of Will can I pay their alternate casting costs? |

According to this thread on the Wizards message board, no you can't. That's the best info I can find on the topic. |
