Sway of the Stars and suspended cards
Asked by andypants040 13 years ago
I'm working on an EDH with Jhoira of the Ghitu as my general and I want to know if Sway of the Stars affects suspended cards.

I could be wrong, but I do not believe so. Suspended cards are considered to be in the removed-from-game zone, and are therefore not permanents. Sway of the Stars only affects cards in your hand, graveyard, library, and permanents on the battlefield. Since it has not been errata'd to include exiled cards, I would be inclined to say that suspended/exiled cards stay where they are.

The above responses are correct, but you should also know that Sway of the Stars is banned in EDH.

A suspended card is in exile, so Sway of the Stars won't shuffle it in along with any other exiled cards.
702.59a. Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the card with suspend is in a player's hand. The second and third are triggered abilities that function in the exile zone. "Suspend N--[cost]" means "If you could begin to cast this card by putting it onto the stack from your hand, you may pay [cost] and exile it with N time counters on it. This action doesn't use the stack," and "At the beginning of your upkeep, if this card is suspended, remove a time counter from it," and "When the last time counter is removed from this card, if it's exiled, play it without paying its mana cost if able. If you can't, it remains exiled. If you cast a creature spell this way, it gains haste until you lose control of the spell or the permanent it becomes."
