Suspend

Keywords · intermediate

Suspend lets you pay for a card early and cast it on a delay. It reads "Suspend N - [cost]."

How it works

• Instead of casting the card normally, you may pay its suspend cost and exile it with N time counters on it.
• At the beginning of each of your upkeeps, remove a time counter.
• When the last time counter is removed, you cast the card for free. If it is a creature, it gains haste.

Rules notes

• The card is cast when the last counter comes off, so cast triggers fire and it can be countered then.
• If a suspended card cannot be cast when the last counter is removed, it simply remains exiled.
