STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

It curves out well with skyship plunderer, too bad it doesn't already come into play with a counter on it. The only other way I can think to abuse it in standard is with Animation Module, but again the soonest you're going to get two counters on it is by your 4th turn.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this yet, but I REALLY like that this is "once per turn" rather than "the first spell you cast each turn", since it gives you so much more control over exactly how you're playing things out. Super cool card that I really want to play around with in a bunch of formats
Blue is returning to its former glory as control color? Not having to keep mana open for countering is nasty...
Yeah everyturn from turn 5 onward force of wills makes me want to vomit in my mouth a little.

Yea, those are MTG Bars. What can I say, I am a dork
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Let's be real here, this card is SLOW. In Modern and eternal, you can cast Ancestral Visions or any other no mana cost suspend card the turn it comes down, which is great. But otherwise, it's just so damn slow. I can see it being a setup for Living End or something like that, but it's just so damn absurdly slow. I think people are really overrating this card.
In EDH, however, this should be a fantastic card. Being able to play spell for free on EACH turn is massive. I think its extremely slow nature is far better for EDH than Modern or Eternal. And as for Standard, without much 0 CMC stuff, are you really willing to burn a turn for this and patiently wait for this thing to become viable? This is one of those cards that's significantly better in older formats with the larger card pool that could break this easier.
I think it's alright, nothing particularly special, but could be one of those cards that will be broken by something new that comes out in several years.
Is it me or is this going to be wanted in every blue deck in Modern? Looks like a Modern blue atomic bomb. Nucking Futs!
So is this card a 50 dollar bill?
exactly the same reaction people had for Day's Undoing
hype will set this card at ~20bucks and then after 2months will go into bulk land.
like someone once said on these fabled forums..."its the Timmiest of cards"
I think you will be proven wrong. We will have to leave it at that.

I like this. I like this a lot. At the very least it's amazing for EDH. It may be strong enough for modern at least to set up a living end, and I'm not sure if standard can do anything with it, but god help me I'll probably try. Dying to Natural State hurts it a lot since that card is already in every green sideboard to deal with vehicles, but it still may be worth it.

It's a Timmy and Johnny card. The biggest thing against this card is that it's not very good in Standard. I don't see this card holding much value.
Again, I will just have to say I believe you will be proven wrong (as it pertains to the money amount, I agree in Standard it isn't that special) and we will have to leave it at that for now. Its begging to be broken in Modern.

Curious if this could be one of those planted future synergy cards. Speculating a return to Dominaria for the 25th Anniversary next year, it's feasible that Suspend could make a comeback. This could very well be a plant for when that happens.

I really think you're overrating this card.
It's not really comparable to Aether Vial, which comes down turn one instead of 3 (which means it 'generated' up to 6 mana when AF generated 1) and let's you put creatures into play at instant speed without the possibility of countering them.
If the card is playable in modern, only dedicated decks will want it, it's just too slow otherwise.

So they're making control into a very slow burning deck of doom.

It's the first "must have" for EDH I've seen in this set so far.
My Ezuri deck will *adore* it (lots of proliferate).
