    Rift Bolt

    Illustrated by Daniel Ljunggren

    EDHREC Rank #14,540
    Rift Bolt deals 3 damage to any target. Suspend 1— red mana (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay red mana and exile it with a time counter 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.)

    Rulings (13)

    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.

    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.

    If the card has X generic mana in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
