You lose a flare when you discard your hand to redraw (no encounter cards at your turn start or as defense), when it is taken as compensation, or when it is zapped. Flares whose effects are not finished until you draw the new hand are kept, such as Wild Cryo. Played flares return to your hand after resolving.
