Can you suspend a card on your opponents turn?

If it is an instant or has flash yes.

But suspend is an activated ability, and does not specify it must be done at sorcery speed. I assumed it would act like {elvish spirit guide}

{jhoira of the ghitu} allows instant speed suspend, and {greater gargadon} says nothing about the speed. I was hoping it could be done at instaspeed :(

Yes but suspend specifies whenever you could cast this spell.

MisterJH

Oh mustve missed that part of the reading hah

scarsabrex

On the brightside cards that allow you to cast cards as if they had flash let you suspend whenever you have priority

On the suck side cards that limit how you cast spells limit how and when you can suspend.

MisterJH

Well on the plus side nobody really expects you to suspend, its not the most used mechanic.

Birdbrain

They should make a card were you suspend for 25 turns, and when it comes into play, you win the game

MisterJH

Thatd be aggrivating

Add infinite mana combo and {Timecrafting}

MisterJH

Just add the 50 cards that remve counters, add {reciprocate}s and {ghostly flicker}s etc, have a way to simply stay alive

Coffee Vampire

Just remember things like {Vampire Sexmage} cannot remove time counters on suspended cards, because they are not permanents.
