Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that allows you to exile the card from your hand with the specified number of time counters (the number before the dash) on it by paying its suspend cost (listed after the dash). The second is a triggered ability that removes a time counter from the suspended card at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. The third is a triggered ability that gives you the option to cast the card when the last time counter is removed.
wotc2 Feb 2024
The mana value of a spell cast without paying its mana cost is determined by its mana cost, even though that cost wasn't paid.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If an effect refers to a "suspended card," that means a card that (1) has suspend, (2) is in exile, and (3) has one or more time counters on it.
wotc2 Feb 2024
Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
wotc2 Feb 2024
Due to a recent rules change to suspend, you are no longer required to cast the suspended card as the second triggered ability of suspend resolves. Instead, as the second triggered ability resolves, you may cast the card. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored. If you don't cast the card, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended.
