## Official Rulings
- *(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 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.
- *(2024-02-02)* The mana value of a spell cast without paying its mana cost is determined by its mana cost, even though that cost wasn't paid.
- *(2024-02-02)* Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that allows you to exile the card from your hand with the specified number of time counters (the number before the dash) on it by paying its suspend cost (listed after the dash). The second is a triggered ability that removes a time counter from the suspended card at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. The third is a triggered ability that gives you the option to cast the card when the last time counter is removed.
- *(2024-02-02)* A creature cast using suspend will enter the battlefield with haste. It will have haste until another player gains control of it. (In some rare cases, another player may gain control of the creature spell itself. If this happens, the creature won't enter the battlefield with haste.)
