# Epochrasite
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}` (CMC: 2)
- **Type:** Artifact Creature — Construct

## Oracle Text
This creature enters with three +1/+1 counters on it if you didn't cast it from your hand.
When this creature dies, exile it with three time counters on it and it gains suspend. (At the beginning of its owner's upkeep, they remove a time counter. When the last is removed, they may cast this card without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)

## Official Rulings
- *(2007-05-01)* Epochrasite will enter with three +1/+1 counters on it if you cast it from a zone other than your hand, or if an effect let you put it directly onto the battlefield.
- *(2024-02-02)* 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.
- *(2024-02-02)* Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- *(2024-02-02)* 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.
- *(2024-02-02)* 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.
- *(2024-02-02)* 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.
