Suspend

Instant

Exile target creature and put two time counters on it. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of its owner's upkeep, they remove a time counter. When the last is removed, they cast it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)

Suggestions:

  • the deck is 102 cards, which is waay above the ideal 60, and will mean that the deck runs super inconsistently, as well as being much weaker. Your first goal should be getting this down to 60.

  • your mana curve is currently waaaay too high, and will lead to this deck running very clumsily/slowly. Modern decks typically can’t justify running more than 3-4 cards costing 4 mana, and run nothing above this value. You’ve got a whopping 31 cards costing 4-or-more mana, which will just make this deck unplayable. Lower the curve!

  • Your deck is too unfocused. If you’re trying to run a mill deck, you need to be all-in on that plan - importantly not running any creatures/spells that don’t work towards that goal (optimal mill looks something close to this). I would suggest either ditching everything non-mill related, or ditching everything mill related - you can’t go “half-in” on that strategy or you’ll never achieve it.

  • You have a LOT of pointless cards in the deck, in that you’re not supporting them. Mystic Forge isn’t good unless a deck is almost entirely cheap artifacts, which yours isn’t. As Foretolds only real purpose is to cheat on no-mana cards like Ancestral Vision or Crashing Footfalls, which your not doing (i assume your deck is trying to dump extra counters on that card, but that’s a LOT of time & effort for no real payoff). Suspend really wants stuff like Teferi, Time Raveler in play to prevent your opponent recasting the card, but you have no such effect.

  • your bounce cards serve you no real purpose other that giving yourself card-disadvantage.

So in short, you need to lower your card-count to a normal quantity, and drastically lower your curve to something playable. You also need to try any focus your deck around one coherent strategy instead of 5.

9-lives on Suspend and x mana cost

If I use Suspend and cast a spell like Stonecoil Serpent, how much mana is payed for by Suspend???

Awesome deck!! Inevitable Betrayal works really well with Upheaval because the creature it fetches can come in to play after Upheaval resolves (this is the same with Suspend . Primeval Titan can search for the Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Cabal Coffers combo as well as Blast Zone . I have also had good results with Thragtusk .

Jackfrost23 yep I thought about it, combined with Thragtusk for example (also good with Upheaval ). But ultimately I decided against it because Nezahal, Primal Tide has a built-in suspend mechanic. So instead of using 4x Thragtusk and 2x Suspend I went with 2x Nezahal, Primal Tide and freed up four cards for control and digging for more consistency.

Your Inevitable Betrayal idea also inspired me to use Suspend .
