Fear (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.) Suspend 7— (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay and exile it with seven 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 a card is put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, if this card is suspended, you may remove a time counter from this card.

Rulings (15)

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

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.

Feb 2, 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.
