Description
Released in 2021 as part of the Time Spiral Remastered set, the Delay card (TSR #61) offers a distinct strategic interaction for Magic: The Gathering players. This uncommon instant card allows you to counter a target spell and exile it with three time counters attached, effectively transforming it into a delayed trigger rather than destroying it permanently. If the exiled spell lacks the suspend mechanic, it gains suspend, allowing its owner to cast it later without paying its mana cost once the counters are removed. This mechanic creates dynamic board states and forces opponents to manage resources differently than traditional countermagic. The card features artwork by Svetlin Velinov, capturing the blue mana identity central to this design. Whether you are building a control deck or adding unique interactions to your collection, this card represents a key piece of the TSR set's mechanical diversity. Its straightforward mana cost of {1}{U} makes it accessible while its exile-and-delay effect provides lasting strategic value.

Counter target spell. If the spell is countered this way, exile it with three time counters on it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard. 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 may play it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.)
