    EDHREC Rank #5,394
    This creature can't be blocked. Suspend 9— 2 generic mana blue mana (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay 2 generic mana blue mana and exile it with nine time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.) Whenever an opponent casts a spell, if this card is suspended, remove a time counter from it.

    When the last time counter is removed, the second triggered ability of suspend (the one that lets you cast the card) triggers. It doesn't matter why the last time counter was removed or what effect removed it.

    If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," such as with suspend, you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those if you want to cast the card.

    Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
