Suspended Sentence Rulings
- Sep 20, 2024 As the second triggered ability of suspend resolves, you may cast the card. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored. If you choose not to (or can't) cast the card, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended.
- Sep 20, 2024 Cards exiled with suspend are exiled face up.
- Sep 20, 2024 Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- Sep 20, 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.
- Sep 20, 2024 If the first triggered ability of suspend (the one that removes time counters) is countered, no time counter is removed. The ability will trigger again at the beginning of the card's owner's next upkeep.
