Oracle Text

Destroy target creature an opponent controls. That player loses 3 life. Exile Suspended Sentence with three time counters on it.

3—{1}{B} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{B} and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.)

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.

9/20/2024·wotc

Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

9/20/2024·wotc

You can exile a card in your hand using suspend any time you could cast that card. Consider its card type, any effects that modify when you could cast it (such as flash) and any other effects that stop you from casting it (such as from Meddling Mage's ability) to determine if and when you can do this. Whether you could actually complete all steps in casting the card is irrelevant. For example, you can exile a card with suspend that has no mana cost or that requires a target even if no legal targets are available at that time.
