Carte Magic Jhoira of the Ghitu

Jhoira of the Ghitu is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

{2}, Exile a nonland card from your hand: Put four time counters on the exiled card. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.)

How it works : Jhoira of the Ghitu

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Suspend is a keyword that represents three abilities. The first is a static ability that allows you to exile the card from your hand with the specified number of time counters (the number before the dash) on it by paying its suspend cost (listed after the dash). The second is a triggered ability that removes a time counter from the suspended card at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. The third is a triggered ability that gives you the option to cast the card when the last time counter is removed.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Cards exiled with suspend are exiled face up.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If the spell requires any targets, those targets are chosen when the spell is finally cast, not when it's exiled.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect refers to a "suspended card," that means a card that (1) has suspend, (2) is in exile, and (3) has one or more time counters on it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    If the first triggered ability of suspend (the one that removes time counters) is countered, no time counter is removed. The ability will trigger again at the beginning of the card's owner's next upkeep.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    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.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    If the second triggered ability is countered, the card can't be cast. It remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    Due to a recent rules change to suspend, you are no longer required to cast the suspended card as the second triggered ability of suspend resolves. Instead, as the second triggered ability resolves, you may cast the card. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored. If you don't cast the card, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  9. #9· Wizards of the Coast

    If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," such as with suspend, you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those if you want to cast the card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  10. #10· Wizards of the Coast

    If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  11. #11· Wizards of the Coast

    The mana value of a spell cast without paying its mana cost is determined by its mana cost, even though that cost wasn't paid.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  12. #12· Wizards of the Coast

    A creature cast using suspend will enter the battlefield with haste. It will have haste until another player gains control of it. (In some rare cases, another player may gain control of the creature spell itself. If this happens, the creature won't enter the battlefield with haste.)

    No other card is named in this ruling.
